You deserve to thrive.

A brave woman knows she has strength enough for the journey.

A wise woman knows it is the journey that will make her strong.

Hello fellow traveler! I’m Dr. Jade Wu, a clinical psychologist specializing in women’s mental health, especially for those experiencing changes and challenges around fertility, motherhood, and other major life transitions. I understand that navigating these while balancing multiple roles can be overwhelming—I’m going through it too!—and I’m here to support and empower you through it all.

I serve women in most US states and accept BCBS and Aetna in several states. All sessions are Telehealth appointments to make therapy as convenient as possible for you.

Women are strong, but we need help during times of challenge and change

I offer evidence-based psychological treatment and supportive psychotherapy for conditions including:

  • Pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety

  • Infertility, loss, and birth-related trauma

  • Coping with early parenthood challenges

  • (Peri)menopause-related sleep and mood changes

  • Mid-life parenting/relationship stress and role changes

  • Sleep problems - difficulty falling/staying asleep, daytime fatigue

Be effective at fixing what you can, and wise about the rest.

At Thrive, our philosophy and approach acknowledge the nuances of womanhood and the need for flexible approaches to psychotherapy. This means that we address your urgent, practical concerns (“How do I get more sleep? How can I communicate this difficult issue with my partner?) with practical, evidence-based tools. We address more existential and emotional challenges (“What if I can’t have biological children? Why am I not the kind of mother I envisioned myself to be?) with compassionate guidance towards clarity and healing. That’s why we combine psychotherapy modalities including:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

  • Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)-informed methods

  • Trauma-informed psychotherapy

  • Supportive psychotherapy
