Kelly Wu, LCSW is a licensed psychotherapist with over a decade of clinical experience working with individuals navigating chronic pain and mind body sensations, anxiety, substance use concerns, trauma, and complex emotional patterns. She brings a thoughtful clinical approach, a calm, steady presence, and experience working with concerns that affect both emotional and physical well-being.

​

Kelly’s work is grounded in the understanding that distress often shows up in multiple ways, through thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and the body itself. She specializes in approaches that help clients develop insight into these patterns and create meaningful, lasting change. Her areas of focus include Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotion Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), parts-based work, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These approaches allow her to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs, whether the primary concern is chronic mind body sensations, trauma, emotional overwhelm, or long-standing patterns tied to substance use and stress.

​

In addition to her work with chronic mind body sensations, her clinical work includes extensive experience with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. She brings a nuanced, nonjudgmental perspective to recovery, helping clients understand underlying emotional drivers while supporting stability, accountability, and self-empowerment.

​

Kelly’s therapeutic style is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded. Clients often describe feeling deeply understood while also gently challenged to grow. She works at a pace that feels safe and intentional, creating a space where people can explore difficult experiences, reconnect with themselves, and build tools that support long-term well-being, not just short-term relief.

Above all, Kelly believes therapy should feel purposeful, respectful, and human. Her goal is to help clients develop clarity, resilience, and a more compassionate relationship with themselves and their lives.
