“Sherry was amazing. I could tell she was really listening to me when we spoke. She let me speak and gave insightful input and her responses were always tailored to me. It wasn’t any of these generic responses that I’ve had other people give me in the past. She truly is a great provider!! ”

Getting to know Sherry Wu

*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans* I believe every individual has the capacity for healing, and my goal is to collaborate with you to unlock your true potential. I support clients through challenges like anxiety, relationship issues, and struggles with self-esteem and identity. My approach combines active listening, open dialogue, and practical exercises to encourage self-reflection and growth. Therapy can transform lives by fostering self-understanding, building coping skills, and promoting resilience, helping you find peace and fulfillment while navigating life's complexities. I create a warm, judgment-free space where clients feel safe to express themselves with compassion and an open heart, often lightened with humor. Outside of therapy, I stay grounded through nature walks, exploring new cuisines, and spending time with my cat. I also prioritize self-care by staying active and going to the gym. Now is the perfect time to take the next step in therapy-an opportunity to prioritize your well-being and create meaningful change. If you're uncertain, remember seeking help is an empowering step toward self-understanding and clarity. You deserve support and the chance to thrive. This first step could be the beginning of a transformative journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My ideal clients are individuals, particularly within the AAPI community, who face challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and family dynamics. With my Chinese American background, I understand the cultural complexities and the stigma around mental health in many communities. I’m committed to helping clients navigate their unique cultural experiences while also welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When working with clients, my first priority is meeting them where they are in their journey. I create a safe, comfortable space where clients can open up at their own pace, explore their goals, and move forward when they're ready. While I may gently challenge them to foster growth, I always ensure our sessions remain supportive. My ultimate goal is to help clients develop lasting wellness strategies that empower them to navigate life with confidence and resilience.

My experience with Ms.Wu has been amazing. From the very first session, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. I was initially skeptical about therapy, but her approach has truly changed my perspective. I feel heard, supported, and understood, and I genuinely look forward to continuing my sessions with her.

She is one of the most caring and compassionate people I’ve ever worked with. She listened to me with so much patience and understanding, and I never once felt judged or dismissed. Her presence alone brought comfort during some of my hardest moments.

Sherry is truly phenomenal. From the very first session, she created a space that felt safe, warm, and completely judgment free. She listens with real intention, asks thoughtful questions, and somehow always helps me see things more clearly without ever making me feel rushed or misunderstood.Sherry has an incredible balance of compassion and insight. She’s supportive when I need reassurance and gently challenging when I need growth. I’ve gained tools, confidence, and a much deeper understanding of myself through our work together.

I really enjoyed my first session with Sherry. I was a little nervous since it was my first time trying therapy, but she was incredibly welcoming and took the time to walk me through the entire process. As the session went on, I felt more and more comfortable, which made the experience feel safe and reassuring.

She spent so much time talking about late cancellation policy and the booking system- im not paying you to listen to your admin stuff. When i shared my situation with her her response felt lifeless and it doesnt feel like she’s listening. Just doesnt think she is very attentive.

She referred to me by my pronouns and asked good questions and did not judge me. So excited for the next session I feel like I could open up to her and be vulnerable.
