Lona Tu
(she/her)
I am honored to be a part of the journeys of people who want a better life. I have been part of journeys addressing anxiety, depression, grief, psychosis, trauma, relationships, multicultural issues, self-esteem, and much more. It is always a humbling experience to learn about and be trusted with the unique stories of my clients. I am always learning and growing with each person I work with. I really love my work as a therapist and can't imagine giving it up. Other than that, I love food, talking to people, playing games, coloring, and listening to people's unique stories of courage and strength!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
You can expect us to go over the logistics of starting therapy, questions about receiving therapy services, what brought you into therapy and information about yourself, and finally what would you like to get out of therapy.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I believe in working with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be shared freely. As a marriage and family therapist, I have a flexible and interactive approach to collaborate with you to work towards the self you want to be. We will work together to address your unique needs and circumstances.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My biggest strengths are my multicultural background, Cantonese ability, and experience working with people of all walks of life. Due to this, a constant part of my work with others is boundaries, understanding yourself and how to express yourself to others. Everyone has the right to feel heard, valued, connected and unique in a safe and confidential space.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Adults who can meet during my work hours of Monday-Friday 6am-2pm.
