Getting to know Rendahui (Dahui) Wu

As a therapist, I value empathy, compassion, and authenticity. I have experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and identities, and I strive to create an inclusive, non-judgmental environment for everyone. I believe that therapy is not just for treating mental health issues; it can also be a space for gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and exploring your identities, values, and meaning-making in life. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University, and I can provide therapy in English and Mandarin. I believe that one of the most important elements in therapy is the therapeutic relationship between a therapist and a client. I aim to foster a safe, collaborative, and empowering space where you can feel comfortable and supported in expressing yourself and processing your experiences. I am passionate about supporting people from marginalized communities and am LGBTQ+ affirming.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use an integrative approach through Psychodynamic, Relational, Person-Centered, Gestalt, Existential, and Cognitive-Behavioral lenses. I tailor my sessions to each client’s specific needs. I help my clients explore their thoughts, feelings, interpersonal relationships, and recurring patterns in their lives. I also incorporate a culturally mindful approach to better understand my clients in the broader social context. I pay attention to clients’ social environment, upbringing, and culture, and I invite them to explore how these factors might have also played a role in their experiences. My goal is to help clients move toward self-compassion, healing, and personal growth and fulfillment. I empower my clients to explore their own voices and ways they wish to navigate life, and I support their journey to find coping strategies that work best for them. I aim to help my clients feel more connected to themselves and the world around them.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis. Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork. I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
