¡Hola a todos! Me llamo Donna, Mexicana a hueso colorado y soy bilingüe en Ingles y Español.

I hold a masters in science in psychology with the specialty of marriage, individual, and family therapy.
Me llamo Donna, Mexicana a hueso colorado y soy bilingüe en Ingles y Español.
I am here to help you to the best of my ability and most of all, I'm open-minded about cultures, beliefs, sexual orientation, and walks of life. Fun facts about me: I am not an UwU girl but I do love the aesthetic and cute fashion! Also, my last name is Xu because my husband is Chinese-Canadian-American.
First session
Typically a first session is meant for establishing rapport and seeing if we are a good fit for each other. If we are, then we go at the client's pace. We can get down to business or take some time and ease there.
Strengths
Coming from a bicultural background (American-born with first generation Mexican parents) and also having lived abroad in Japan, I feel that I am able to understand some of the common challenges that come with assimilation and acculturation from both domestic and foreign perspectives.
Ideal clients
I work well with clients who are solution focused, have gone through a grief experience or loss of any kind, and those who need help in their relationships. I am open minded and warm, and silly at times, and for clients who like that about me, we work very well together. My office space is a judgment-free zone. I work with grief, anxiety, depression, intergenerational and religious trauma, losses, life transitions, and relationship issues. I am currently not seeing couples through Grow Therapy.
Treatment methods
EMDR
Whenever I have clients who want to work on trauma, this is the approach that I've found has the evidence to really help clients get through their hurdles.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
For most clients who want to get in and out of therapy, this is the approach that I've noticed helps a lot for my solution minded clients.
Narrative
For clients who want to delve deeper into their stories, this approach is the best for them.
