Chu Hui Cha, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Chu Hui!

I work with adults specializing in anxiety, stress, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is to personalize it for the individual and their unique needs.

My focus

I work well with adults in their 30s and older experiencing life transitions such as moving, changing jobs/roles, or break-up/divorce. These transitions often bring depression, anxiety, and stress. I help people understand their experiences and develop coping skills for resilience.

My approach

I practice in an eclectic way, often blending interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I focus on tailoring therapeutic approaches to the individual client and the problems they're experiencing.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, friendly, and affirming. I create a space of openness and curiosity.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a psychologist because of my desire to understand myself and other people. When I'm in session with clients, I'm in a flow state. Working and connecting with people in therapy is incredibly rewarding.

My goals for you

Goal setting is an important part of good therapy, so I discuss the goals clients would like to work on in the beginning and frequently check in about how we're doing in terms of progress towards those goals.

Our first session

Clients can expect me to do a lot of listening at the same time that I ask some basic questions about them to get to know them better.
