Hi, I am Khuyen Luu, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I apply a holistic approach to support you in the journey from where you are to where you want to be. The focus of my practice is helping all of my clients to be free from their negative past experiences to live their life with their full potentials.
My approach
with a Client-Centered approach, I meet you where you are and work with you to create therapeutic goals that work for you. I utilize Reality therapy, EMDR (Eyes Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, IFS (Internal Family System) in my practice. I also mobilize elements of CBT, DBT, and creative therapy (art therapy or play therapy).
My focus
I work with individuals from age 5 up (online counseling: from age 10 up). I provide individual, couple, and group therapy. Issues that I have most experiences with are: all different type of trauma from emotional trauma to PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, grief, stress or anger management, relationship issues, and Bipolar Disorder.
My communication style
I hold a warm, empathic, and safe space for clients to feel free to express themselves. Being humanistic, I do my best to make my clients feel supported and understood. I inspire my clients to be confident in maximizing their strengths and current resources that they have while also being open to explore new insights and opportunities
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always been passionate in helping people. After many years of working in different fields, including but not limited to: nursing, social work, interpreter in law enforcement, and hotel management, I experienced a midlife crisis. I was seeking for a career that is meaningful to me and the possibility of working anywhere in the world as we move around the world with my husband's job. Counseling came crossed as the most suitable to all of my needs: meaningful, packable, especially I never have to stop learning and growing. I have been so much happier than ever in my life. I have learned which past experiences prevented me from being who I really am. I have learned so much from my clients, through the teamwork, we heal and grow together. I treasure every moment that we learn a new thing together, either finding out the root cause of a problem or a new helpful insight.
My goals for you
I partner with my clients in exploring the root causes of their current issues as far as they want to go. I always meet my clients where they are and let them be in charge of their progress.
My first session with you
This is a chance for us to get to know each other, for me to learn more about your issues but also stressors as well as supporters. Setting the goals and steps to move forward could also be part of the first session depends on how complex the issues are. Some tools and resources will also be provided if needed and possible.
