Renee Chu
Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, struggling with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, grief, or emotional regulation? Do intense emotions or communication challenges make it hard to build the connections you want? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the roots of recurring patterns so you can achieve lasting change and emotional well-being. What you need matters, and you don't have to face any of this alone.
As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist, I bring experience working with neurodivergence, complex relationships, challenging family dynamics, and narcissistic abuse recovery. I use a bicultural and mindfulness-based approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, psychodynamic, existential, person-centered, and narrative frameworks to tailor care to your goals. My practice is rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay between our shared humanity and individual uniqueness, and I believe meaningful change is possible when you feel truly safe, heard, and seen.
I work with a gentle, validating style. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, to struggle, or to heal. Together we can explore entrenched patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and work through the barriers affecting your well-being and relationships. I tailor therapy to personal growth, healing, and identity exploration through culturally responsive, collaborative care, and I encourage you to be kind to yourself throughout the process.
I offer a complimentary 50-minute online consultation so we can get to know each other and explore whether we are a good fit. Reduced fees are available based on need. Reach out by phone or email, and let's take that first step together.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

Celina Lucarelli
Therapist, EXA
Humans are social animals. We require deeply embodied and interdependent relationships in order to thrive, it is a part of our genetic and evolutionary design.The deepest core of all human trauma is the fear, “I am alone here”. If we experienced this to be true, at any point in our lives, our incredibly adaptive brain will create survival strategies in order to avoid experiencing this aloneness again. The difficulty is that for many of us, the greatest harm we experience is within relationship. Many of our mental “disorders” come from this broken internal loop, “I need to be connected - connection has caused me harm”. This is why therapy exists. It provides a safe enough space to begin the work of connecting again first to yourself, and then with the ecosystem around you.
