Getting to know Daniel Lu

I support clients across all ages, cultures, & identities to feel whole and unburdened, despite emotional scars and the difficulty of change. In individual therapy, my clients’ journeys prove to me that “slow is fast" - that “efficient” healing and change begin with slower exploration and curiosity. Couples therapy is similar. We’ll discover new ways of resolving conflict by slowing down, helping each other acknowledge our greatest fears that hurt the relationship’s depth, stability, or sexual intimacy. Clients describe me as gentle and calming, which I hope gives you strength in facing the unexpected and uncomfortable.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I've worked extensively with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients, and have significant experience in treating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, ADHD, and relationship conflict. I engage in rigorous post-grad training in depth-oriented psychotherapy, and offer therapy in both English and Mandarin.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

No need to arrive with a perfect description of what’s wrong or what you need. Reach out any way you'd like - through my website intake form, by email, or for a 15-minute consultation call. I try to make the first steps into therapy as straightforward and transparent as possible.
