Zexi Wu - LGBTQ+ Issues, Minority Stress, Anxiety

About Zexi Wu

Hi, I’m Zexi. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and able to show up as yourself. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, non-judgmental, and grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. I am also a direct therapist. I am not here simply to tell you what you want to hear or agree with everything you say. My role is to support you with empathy and compassion while also helping you notice patterns, beliefs, or behaviours that may be keeping you stuck. I see therapy as a space not only to feel understood, but also to build insight and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.

I am particularly interested in supporting adults and couples experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, workplace stress, and minority stress. As a gay Asian man, I also bring lived experience that informs my commitment to 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming and culturally humble care, while recognizing that every client’s story is unique.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and draws from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and attachment-informed perspectives. Together, we can explore how past and present experiences may be shaping your emotions, relationships, and patterns of coping, while identifying practical steps that feel realistic and aligned with the life you want to build. I am fluent in English and Mandarin and welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, identities, relationships, and lived experiences.
