Daniel Ku, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Daniel! My name is Daniel Ku, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #100424). I earned my Master's in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute. I take a client-centered approach to treatment, tailoring each session to the unique needs and goals of my clients. My approach I draw from Psychodynamic Theory and Attachment Theory to help clients explore deep-rooted patterns influencing their behaviors and relationships. By examining early experiences and unconscious processes, I guide clients in gaining insight into how these factors shape their emotional and relational lives. Through an Attachment Theory lens, I focus on early attachment styles, helping clients understand and repair relational wounds while fostering healthier connections. My goal is to support clients in achieving greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and lasting change in their relationships. My focus My work in community-based mental health began in 2001, primarily with individuals diagnosed with severe mental health disorders. Over the years, I have expanded to include individuals across the mental health spectrum, including those experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, life stressors, and relational problems. My communication style In sessions, I want to hear from you. Think of me as an observer in your art gallery-not a critic, but someone who appreciates your vision and story. You are the artist, explaining your pieces and creations. I take these in and reflect back your work, and if appropriate, draw parallels from your earlier creations. My journey to mental healthcare Psychology is like our oceans: we have more accurately mapped the moon than the ocean floors. The same goes for our minds-we have mapped the external world well, but much remains to be discovered within ourselves.
