“I’m Johnny Xu. I believe the greatest gift a therapist can offer is full presence with a compassionate ear. Many clients seek therapy because something that was working for them is no longer working. Maybe you feel stuck, unseen, unheard, anxious, angry, or "enmeshed" in your interpersonal relationships and work. Maybe there's family estrangement or you are contemplating cutoff. Maybe your core values are being tested. You have been here for a long time, but believed you needed permission to feel this way: "Just another year," "just a little more." In our therapy space, even if you take your shoes off at the door, you can bring your whole self.

Using attachment-based, cognitive, solution-focused, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed modalities, I ensure that our therapeutic relationship is a refuge from larger systemic trauma. I invite you to bring with you your current resources, social location, and values that you have inherited from your family of origin, ancestors, and communities.

My social location is a second generation Asian American rooted in immigrant and working class communities in NYC, Greater Boston, Quincy, and Seattle. I have extensive experience working with Asian diasporas and children of immigrants. Please feel free to email me for a free 15 minute consultation. Give yourself permission to be where you are right now.”
