Get to know Cindy Shu, LMFT

I remember feeling incredibly vulnerable when I reached out for support through therapy.  I was guarded, and accustomed to telling those around me that, "everything was alright." But it wasn't. I wasn't. Therapy was a gift that I didn't know I needed. My feelings mattered, and my pain was seen. Through therapy, I not only felt acceptance and validation but was also empowered to be more authentically myself.

As a therapist, I want to encourage others to reach out and experience the benefits of therapy. Every therapist has their own unique way of working with people.  My therapeutic style is rooted in the belief that people are intrinsically valued and are deserving of fundamental human connection; to be seen, to be heard, and to be understood. These fundamental values hold the framework in how I work with the individual. 

I am a firm believer that people already have answers to their own questions. With your lead and collaboration, I will highlight your strengths, and mirror your innermost thoughts. The ‘magic’ happens when you give yourself the space to be curious about your past and present experiences while being equipped to explore different angles and perspectives to create new insight that encourages you to be your truest, most authentic self.
