ABOUT RAQUEL WU

My name is Raquel Wu (she/her/hers). I am from Cleveland, Ohio, and hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Syracuse University. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained to view situations from a systemic perspective.

I am dedicated to supporting individuals, families, couples, and children from diverse backgrounds. My support extends to those who have endured racial, gender, and community trauma, domestic and sexual abuse, cultural identity struggles, anxiety, depression, and challenges within the LGBTQ+ community, among others. I am also committed to assisting immigrant and refugee families coping with the stress of cultural assimilation and societal adaptation. 

My experience includes working with individuals and families undergoing gender transitions across all age groups. I am trained to guide families through these transitions safely for the client. I practice cultural humility to effectively engage with various cultures and their intersectionalities. My approach is client-centered, which I believe is crucial for maintaining a therapeutic relationship. Together, we will create a safe and empowering space for you to begin your healing journey.

My areas of specialization include narrative therapy, the Gottman method, trauma-focused therapy, relational therapy, play therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, structural family therapy, Bowen family therapy, and contextual family therapy.

你好，我是 Raquel Wu (吳蕊恩)。 我來自俄亥俄州克利夫蘭，才剛在雪城大學得到婚姻和家庭治療碩士學位。 我希望能夠為亞裔和亞裔美國人社區提供治療服務。 我出生在美國，在這里長大。 我媽媽是台灣人，爸爸是緬甸華僑。我從小就只對我的家人說普通話。 我已經看到在一個家庭中駕馭不同文化是多麼困難，我希望能夠支持這個社區。 我的普通話水平不高，但我希望能夠給這個社區一個舒適安全地尋求幫助的機會。
