Lauren Xu, LCSW
Outpatient Therapist in Virtual Office
Hello! I'm Lauren, an LCSW with more than 6 years of experience providing psychotherapy to teens, young adults, couples, and adults. I identify as Chinese American, and I have experience working with people with a vast array of racial, ethnic, gender, sexual, and religious identities.
I am currently accepting couples who are looking to work on their connection together, particularly while exploring issues around physical intimacy, like navigating changes to the body with age, performance anxiety/ erectile dysfunction, and meeting both individual and couple needs. I specialize in working with people who struggle to maintain a balance between respecting individual needs within the context of cultural and family expectations, and with those who have experienced trauma and/or loss. I have extensive experience working with those who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety/ panic, perfectionism, and ADHD.
I strive to maintain an inclusive, brave space. I encourage therapy to be a brave place, and not a safe place, because it is very brave to show up and work on getting out of the safety of the known and to work towards fostering a better future. My practice has been informed by Relational Sex Therapy, DBT, and attachment theory.
I am a strong believer that communication is key in the therapeutic relationship, and I invite my clients to let me know what is and is not working for them. I believe that therapy should be an empowering and restorative experience for you.
I look forward to meeting with you, and I commend you for taking this step toward bettering your mental health.
