Professional statement
Psychiatric care is complicated and a one-size-fits-all approach does not suit everyone. Dr. Wu's psychiatric practice is set-up with this in mind. He understands the need to work with patients within the existing limitations of today's world to figure out mental health solutions that work for his patients, whether that includes lifestyle changes, additional accountability, a supportive person in their life, or medication management approaches.
He is experienced with standard evidence-based treatments for psychiatric conditions and also understands the need to go beyond standard care if needed for his patients given their unique circumstances. Regardless of diagnosis, Dr. Wu strives to be available with timely appointments with patients if needed during difficult periods of their lives to meet their needs.
He enjoys working with young professionals, students, and entrepreneurs experiencing career burnout and exploring the potential psychiatric overlap with their current conditions.
Dr. Wu's practice is located in Coolidge Corner, Brookline, MA and offers both in-person and telehealth appointments. He is a Harvard-trained, board certified psychiatrist with experience working with diagnostically complex patients both in private practice and in high acuity care settings including residential treatment and inpatient settings for detoxification and psychiatric stabilization. He aims to provide individualized medication and therapeutic treatment for his patients to maximize their well-being. He also provides second-opinion psychiatric consultations.

Chinese, EnglishSpecialties
Combined medication management and therapy - As a psychiatrist, I can see patients for combined medication management and therapy, which may be more convenient for individuals seeking both treatment modalities.
Academic challenges - Addressing underperformance in coursework, school avoidance, and procrastination
ADHD - Skill-building and support around organizational challenges, distracted attention, procrastination; building and maintaining healthy routines and structure
Trauma - Coping and healing after threatening or scary events, such as witnessing accidents or experiencing sexual, verbal, emotional, or physical abuse
Bipolar disorder - Bipolar disorder is a difficult-to-treat condition, and often can have overlapping diagnoses and may be frequently mis-diagnosed. I try to first thoroughly evaluate any prior diagnoses of bipolar disorder and rule out alternative conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, and trauma-related conditions such as PTSD.
