Sylvia Luu

Sylvia Luu

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello, I’m Sylvia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist. I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and questions about identity and self-esteem. Many are capable and high-functioning on the outside, but privately exhausted, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to change, or sensing something is off even when life looks “fine” on paper.

I earned my degree from the University of Chicago and have been in practice for over six years. My work is informed by both clinical training and lived experience, and I help clients make sense of the patterns keeping them stuck, so meaningful change becomes possible.

Do you feel held back by experiences you can't seem to move on from? Do you know your goals, but struggle to find the path to get there? Are you looking for a space to better understand yourself, your past, and the person you want to be in the future?

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma recovery, depression, anxiety, and substance use. I am here to help you dive into understanding not only how to grow in the present, but also what pieces have come together to create the person you are today. We don't exist in a vacuum, therefore I take a holistic approach that works with the confluence of mental, social, and cultural factors surrounding each individual.

One of the most difficult parts of therapy is choosing to begin. Congratulations for making it this far. I would be overjoyed to walk alongside you as you continue on this journey of growth and self-love.

Russell Bader

Therapist

Virtual • California


If you’re living with trauma, anxiety, panic episodes, or the strain these issues place on your family, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I help individuals and families who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or afraid of repeating old patterns find stability, relief, and a clear path forward.

For 46 years, I’ve specialized in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and panic disorders.

I also work with families facing conflict, communication breakdowns, or the ripple effects of trauma. Together, we build practical skills that reduce reactivity, strengthen connection, and restore a sense of safety.

If you’re ready for therapy that is structured, compassionate, and guided by decades of clinical experience, I’m here to help you take the next step.
