Nancy Wu, MHC-LP
Psychotherapist
Pronouns: They/Any
My name is Nancy Wu (they/any), and I’m a queer, genderqueer, neurodivergent counselor from Shanghai, China. As a bi-cultural, multilingual immigrant, I know that we are constantly translating ourselves to the world around us, across languages, cultures, values, and neurotypes. Therapy should be a safe space where you shouldn’t have to translate or justify who you are, a space for your healing on your terms.
Healing is often a return to simplicity. Each person has to find their own path, which is not always linear. My role is to be your co-navigator, equipping you with skills and knowledge that may be helpful along the way. I take a trauma-informed approach with deep resonance in liberation and feminist psychology. I believe our symptoms must be understood within the context of our struggles against the extractivist nature of capitalism, surviving the climate crisis, and resisting colonialism and genocide. My hope is that in our work, we can grow our self-understanding to learn the power of our inherent connectedness and oneness of our struggle against the systems that oppress us.
I specialize in working with people who are queer, genderqueer, or neurodivergent, people with spiritual or activist inclinations, and people of color. I have extensive experience working with individuals of Asian descent, and can offer services in Mandarin. I hope to help people navigate their intersectional identities and positions of privilege towards solidarity. I believe that the healing of hearts and minds ripples out into communities, and that reclaiming our sense of agency paves the path towards our collective liberation.
Please do not hesitate to reach out!
