Our Team: Janet Fu, LMHC

Janet Fu, LMHC

I grew up in China and have a B.S. in Applied Psychology and M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from NYU, both of which provided me a solid theoretical foundation. I provide individual and family/couple counseling that is humanistic at its core, and respects every individual’s uniqueness. I incorporate Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Gestalt therapy techniques into my work according to the client’s needs. I am open-minded to clients from various cultural, religious, and sexual backgrounds. Something I say to clients to capture my ethos is, “There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.”

About Janet

  • I think it’s my nature to inspire and help people. I have abundant work experience in various settings (hospital, private practice, non-profit, and rehab) and with a variety of clients ranging from 12 to 74 years old and having, for example, depression, anxiety, ADHD, schizophrenia, BPD, PTSD, OCD, and insomnia.

  • I respect the client’s autonomy and assist the client in exploring themselves in counseling. You might feel a little uncomfortable in the beginning if you expect a structured counseling style. But be open-minded! You might benefit from my humanistic counseling style and the easy-going therapeutic relationship in the long run.

  • I believe continuing education is valuable in my career as a psychotherapist. After graduating, I have immersed myself in the study of Mindfulness and family/couples therapy. In the future, I plan to learn counseling techniques that help clients connect to their bodies and unconscious minds, like hypnosis and EMDR.
