Getting to know Chiungwen Ku
Hello, my name is Chiungwen Ku. Are you struggling with feelings of being overwhelmed, depression, anxiety, inferiority, or loneliness? Have you experienced troubles keeping up with your day, work, relationships, or health? I will help you learn more about your mental health and how to make a difference! Together, let's figure out what's working for you.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) approaches in most of my interactions, but I generally integrate ideas and strategies from several therapy models depending on your needs and circumstances. Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, managing problematic emotions, thoughts, or behaviors, improving self-esteem, finding motivation to do things, having intergenerational or cross-cultural challenges, or unresolved issues from the past, you are not alone. I am here to work with you in turning those life challenging experiences into opportunities of learning and growth.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The first therapy session can be stressful as it is filled with questions and information for you and I to get to know each other, and to see if we are a good fit. It’s important for you to feel comfortable with me in order to provide the specialized care and support you desired. We will also discuss your goals regarding what you want to get out of therapy. Therapy can be intense, fascinating, or a relief. I will create a supportive, trusting, and non-judgmental environment for you to feel safe and empowered in the process.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
