Daniel Lu, LCSW

Daniel Lu, LCSW

Psychotherapist
MA
You might be feeling stuck, or even suffocated, trapped in a unique tangle of life experiences and personal/interpersonal emotional patterns. In both individual and couple's therapy, "slow is fast." It's a space where you can feel heard, where you can find practical support, and, hopefully, where you feel safe enough to slow down. It's a place to explore and untangle the patterns that brought you here, and to find your way to a deeper, more lasting kind of change.

Getting to know Daniel Lu

You might be feeling stuck, or even suffocated, trapped in a unique tangle of life experiences and personal/interpersonal emotional patterns. In both individual and couple's therapy, "slow is fast." It's a space where you can feel heard, where you can find practical support, and, hopefully, where you feel safe enough to slow down.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I strive to bring a warm, caring presence, while still seeking, gently, to challenge my clients to feel more deeply or to sit with what's uncomfortable. If you choose to work with me, you will find that I deeply respect your privacy, your vulnerability and your trust. I will strive to provide therapy as thoughtfully and candidly as I can. With your permission, we'll discover and make room for hidden parts of you that are in the way of a fuller and more authentic life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In addition to my prior education, I routinely engage in training and consultation in contemporary psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have significant experience in treating anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma, alongside extensive work with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients. I also bring special expertise on the dissonance and search for belonging that comes with multicultural identity, especially among first and second generation immigrants. I offer therapy in both English and Mandarin Chinese.
