Jessica Gu, MHC

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University. I am dedicated to providing a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning I believe in meeting clients where they are and tailoring therapy to their unique needs. I integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and other evidence-based modalities to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and develop meaningful coping strategies. Whether exploring past experiences or addressing present challenges, I strive to create a collaborative and empowering therapeutic experience. I am fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and can provide services in any of these languages, ensuring that language is never a barrier to receiving support. Clients working with me can expect a warm, empathetic, and culturally sensitive approach. Each session is an opportunity for self-exploration, growth, and skill-building. I hope that clients walk away with a deeper understanding of themselves, greater emotional clarity, and the tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. I look forward to working with you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.
