Nice to meet you!

I’m Dr. Alison Hu, a bilingual board-certified psychologist. Feel free to call me Alison.

您好！我是胡醫生。

Originally from Taiwan, I moved to the U.S. as a teenager, and my background informs my work with people navigating major life transitions and cross-cultural experiences. I completed my Ph.D. and fellowship in APA-accredited programs and have worked in hospitals, VA medical centers, and college counseling settings.

Today, I focus on supporting individuals coping with cancer and those navigating pregnancy and the postpartum period using evidence-based care.
