Introduction

I'm a licensed therapist with specialties in treating attachment wounds, perfectionism, loneliness and self esteem issues. I take a gentle, respectful & candid approach, and help my clients get curious about why they feel stuck. I am trauma informed, relational, LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse affirming. If you feel like you already know what you're supposed to do - feel your feelings, set your boundaries, drink your water - but you just don't seem to feel better, then I would be a great fit for you. Please reach out, let's work together to help you feel better. My email address is ella@mindfultherapywellness.com *my background* - My name is Ella Zhu, I'm a licensed therapist (LCSW). I believe a genuine curiosity about ourselves and compassion for our difficulties is the beginning of getting better.
