Cynthia Huynh-Wu, LMHC (She/Her)

I am a licensed mental health counselor providing individual psychotherapy, organizational consultations and group work. I was born in Tacoma to parents from Cambodia and Vietnam who were displaced by war. My perspective and values have been shaped by my family’s story of survival and resilience as well as my own experience navigating cultural differences. This has helped me develop a love of stories, an appreciation for different for different lived experiences, and an ability to navigate through discomfort that informs and shapes my work as a therapist.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach that integrates theories from liberation psychology, existentialism, somatic experiencing, and multiculturalism. I utilize both evidence-based and psychodynamic modalities. I have experience working with trauma, family conflict, and identity development and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

My clinical interests are in intergenerational trauma, Asian Pacific Islander communities, masculinity & men’s issues, anxiety and depression, and other mood disorders, family and/or relationship conflict, loneliness, bicultural/multicultural challenges, community-focused healing, and immigrant & refugee experiences.

I accept Premera, Likewise, and some BCBS and Anthem plans, and provide super bills that can be submitted to your insurance provider.
