Khuyen Luu, LPC — Therapist in Alaska

Hi there, I'm Khuyen!

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 lives to their full potential.

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 the most experience with are: all different types of trauma from emotional trauma to PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, grief, stress or anger management, relationship issues, and Bipolar Disorder.

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, and IFS in my practice. I also mobilize elements of CBT, DBT, and creative therapy (art therapy or play therapy).

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 exploring new insights and opportunities

My journey to mental healthcare

After working in different fields, I experienced a midlife crisis and was seeking a career that is meaningful to me. Counseling came across as the most suitable: meaningful, and packable, especially because I never have to stop learning and growing. I have been so much happier than ever in my life.

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.

Our first session

This is a chance for us to get to know each other, and for me to learn more about your issues, stressors, as well as supporters. Setting the goals and steps to move forward could also be part of the first session, depending on how complex the issues are. Some tools and resources will also be provided if needed and possible.
