Jane was my therapist for the last almost six years and I cannot recommend her enough. I started seeing her shortly after the passing of my mom and she really helped me grieve and work through processing my emotions. Over the last six years, life has thrown me many challenges and she truly helped through listening and providing helpful insight and guidance through it all. She always provided empathy and helped me to unpack my sometimes frazzled emotions. I would still be seeing her if I were still based in California, as she is my favorite therapist I have ever had (and I have had many). read more

Jane was my therapist for 2.5 years and boy did she help me through so many life transitions and relationship conflict. I couldn't have made it though these changes without her. She helped me unpack a lot of family things as well, which helped me in the long run on so many levels. She addressed all my needs with such care and empathy, and it gave me strength to keep doing the best I could. I was able to organize all my visits with her so easily online, and she was always available to me via email with any questions. Jane is a safe space for all people, and I grew so much in my time with her. Anyone would be lucky to receive her care. read more

I knew within the first 5 min how awful she is. SO stuffy and pretentious. Completely unapproachable! Why did she get good reviews? Who is writing them? First she wasted 15 min going over useless intros and Qs. She asked me the EXACT name and title of my insurance in Teladoc as an identity question. WTF. My birthday and name are enough. That's all my other therapists ask me for. Then she mocked me for seeing another therapist recently. Told me I couldn't see her again if I insisted on trying multiple therapists. Which shows how COMPLETELY ignorant she is of both therapy and how Teladoc works. In Teladoc you don't pick specific providers, you book an appointment with whoever is available. And as a patient I always have the right to shop around for the best care. Thanks for belittling me lady. Final insult to injury is how she cuts off sessions after 45 min when Teladoc sessions are always 1hr. So I barely spent 30 min with her total. But maybe it was for the best bec I couldn't wait to get out of there. She made my skin crawl and didn't listen to or address any of the issues I brought up. I'm glad Teladoc is free under my insurance bec I know that wasn't worth my money! read more

I would like to give this therapist a zero or negative rating. She did not listen to any of our concerns and was quite judgmental. Her visits were rather pointless and rushed. She don't take the time to listen to all sides and carefully consider the pros and cons of each of these situations. Although the expectations were delineated to her at the outset. Not make any attempts to rectify the situation. I'm not sure where all of these glowing reviews are coming from but they seem completely out of sync with what we experience with her. Definitely would not recommend. read more

Jane Chiu is hands-down the best therapist I have worked with. Her style was a wonderful match for my needs. She is a fantastic listener and has a way of holding the thread of my life-story as it unfolds, step by step--walking with me along the way. I never felt like she was imposing any judgment or pushing me in any direction--but rather holding my values as central to our work together and holding me accountable to myself. I could count on Jane to know me and to help me stay on track with becoming and being the person I most wanted to be. She is patient, kind, knowledgable, fun, and values self-honesty. Jane modeled a quality of support that is availble when someone is truly paying attention. It was inspiring. That's Jane--she really pays attention to you. And that kind of support is so rare these days. She is a treasure. My life is better for my work with Jane. read more

Jane Chiu has done an awesome job with counseling our family. Her approach is very innovative. She has a manner that tends to gently extract honest and open dialogue. She is very insightful and able to quickly recognize patterns that impede growth. Jane comes to each session prepared. It is clear she has taken time after the previous session and before the current session to review her notes and to develop an agenda for the session. During the session, she takes copious notes. At the end of each session, she gives us assignments to work on until our next meeting. Also, our family tends to get a bit unruly at times. Although Jane has a very gentle spirit, she is able to wrangle us and keep us in line so that each of our meetings can be as productive as possible. She has worked with us as a group, but also worked with us for individual sessions. In our dealings with her, Jane has demonstrated competence over a wide range of mental health specializations. We really count ourselves lucky to have found her. read more

I have been lucky enough to find Jane through our Insurance Teledoc. Jane is an extremely professional therapist and a good listner. She always asks the questions that give you pause to think shes supportive and always respectful. I've been talking with her since 2018 about issues I had with stress, work, my grown up kids, boyfriends and now my husband and I talk with her together and iron out some of our rough spots as they come up the what and how could we do things better.. . I am thankful to have found Jane who truly cares about her patients. I do feel as though I have known her forever. Although we have never met in person, shes the best and would recommend her service to anyone who needs someone to bounce things off . Many thanks Jane! Melody & Jamal read more

She is really good. I'm glad to have met her and I'm getting the help I need. Thank you Jane. She's a great listener, her communication is wonderful, mechanism in therapy is handy and her note taking is so thorough. I'm glad to have did my homework and found her. I like that her office is close by as well. read more

Nice, level-headed and competent. Highly recommend!

I was very lucky to stumble across Jane's profile page through my research when I was experiencing menopause and anxiety. There is something about Jane that is very reassuring; she's kind, sweet, warm, genuine, and caring. It feels like I've known her forever. She allows me to be vulnerable which is not easy for me. She's created a safe environment for me to unload all my troubles and worries and to just be myself. Jane has helped me gain the ability to look deep into myself and organize my thoughts and make me see things clearer. She has empowered me to make choices that would have lasting benefits for me. She's someone who sincerely cares for my well-being and someone I can trust to guide me through both the good and difficult times. I cannot thank her enough for what she has done and how she dramatically made a great change in my life. read more

Jane was/is my first therapist--and boy did I get lucky to have her as my first therapist. Because of the care and support I receive from her, I'll likely never need another therapist again. On top of it I feel like I've made another friend that I can always share things with even long after therapy has ended. I do not live near her so I do not get to see her in person, but I have in no way felt that an online relationship has been limiting or detrimental to our blooming relationship. I feel her presence sometimes more than the actual people in my life, which is a godsend when a lot of the time I can feel very alone and like no one understands what I am going through. When I feel uncertain about things or feel a loss of control over my emotions, I think about the things we've discussed and feel a pleasant almost homey feeling come over me and I relax. She has helped me through numerous obstacles in my life: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, troubles with my past, even the death of someone close to me. On top of it we talk about other issues that adds brightness, fun, and connection, so it's not all doom and gloom. Her approach is careful and controlled, and she always makes sure you are in control of what comes up in conversation. She is good at picking up on cues and delving into issues that you may mention but have a hard time describing. She has made major issues such as inferiority complexes and feelings of importance feel less terrifying and all-encompassing as she helps you to personify these issues, thus taking the power out of them. I am not one to ask simple questions and yet every time she has a thoughtful, even creative, and understanding response to each complicated question I ask, even the existential ones. She is thorough, respectful, and flexible. She listens when you want a change in the way she responds, but she of course always double checks anyway. She has also given me the courtesy of viewing me as whole and good anyway that I am, even through predicaments and my own mistakes, and she has honored me by taking some of things I say and learning from them herself, as she has told me. So she is always willing to be open-minded and learn new ways to help you. She has been more than willing to share with me things I have asked her about in order to garner a stronger relationship. In this way she puts her importance on having a solid relationship, even friendship, with you over thinking about it as a job or something she has to do to make money. I therefore feel both cared for and safe in her hands. Her spirit, kindness, and intelligence can be felt through whatever medium you are communicating with her. In this way, you know you have someone out there who truly cares about your well-being. read more

I worked with Jane for about three months (through online e-counseling) when my anxiety and depression became severe due to the stress of several major impending changes to my life that were all going to happen at once. I was having a really difficult time coping with the anxiety and became desperate enough to seek help for the first time; it was my fortune to run into Jane and her counseling service because I really do believe it saved me during this period of distress. During the entire process of our counseling, Jane was extremely sympathetic, empathetic, patient, kind, comforting, and supportive. It felt more like I was talking to a friend who was extremely open-minded and understanding about everything I had to share. Instead of pushing ideas or advice on me and telling me what to do or how to think/feel, she carefully read what I wrote, took time to craft thoughtful responses, and asked insightful questions that made ME think my problems through so that I could help myself by seeing things from a different perspective. And sometimes that's really all it takes--a shift in perspective to get yourself out from thinking in the same negative patterns. It didn't take long before I noticed an improvement in my anxiety and my thinking patterns. The best part about working with Jane is that she truly cares. If you need a more immediate response to something that's urgent, she will do her best to accommodate your request. If you need support beyond what's normally expected, she will try to help you as well; she doesn't make it about the money but about her clients and their well-being. I would've loved to continue e-counseling with Jane but had to stop due to my own financial restraints; however, her fees are extremely reasonable and affordable and makes counseling much more accessible to many people. I have nothing but good things to say about Jane and would give her my highest recommendation. read more

I have worked with Jane for quite some time now; and if I were to just step back and assess myself "BEFORE" and "AFTER"... I would barely be able to recognize myself. None of the triggers in my situation have changed, I am still pretty much a workaholic 24/7: full time passionate about what I do at work + a full time mom; which isn't the problem bc pretty much the whole world is running at lightning pace right now. its just the way we are: STRESSED all the time. But honestly, some of us work better under pressure. The things that threw me off balance was that suddenly, as an empath for life; I was required to own a few key "difficult personalities with disorders" in my life. The consequences of their actions (or lack of actions) is what broke me. And I was shattered. Without knowing what or why, like a deer caught in headlights, I reached out to Jane. And boy, she's been the guiding force to help me get out of some very dark places and reach a level of balance again. None of this was done overnight. It took a lot of time, reflection and internalization before I could make progress. And guess what, that is what has made this change in my 'sustainable'. There is no other way to put it. Jane provides a great deal of support, wisdom, and advice on exactly what you need in that moment when you are spiraling downwards out of control. Some very dark feelings. When you feel you have to put a façade to just get through the day but no one around you knows how you feel or what you are thinking. Jane lends that ear. I felt at ease, being totally honest with her and I respect her feedback. I implemented on her advice. Sometimes it was hard. But it is what helped me the most. She is very keen on learning more about you because no one solution fits all personalities. She understood where I came from, my culture, my background, my priorities, in order to help me figure out my own goals. She offers the acknowledgement, teaches you the mindfulness, that ultimately leads you to appreciation and gratitude for no matter what problem life throws at you. I highly recommend Jane. She is listed as one my 'healers' and I place her close to my heart; and am very thankful to her in allowing me to overcome my challenges and helping me become a new me that can hopefully continue to sustain this balance. It is indeed a beautiful life. Scars included. read more

I've been seeing Jane for some problems that my family was going through. Not only did Jane help my whole entire family to solve our emotional stress, but she went on an extra mile to help us solve our family issues and made the situation better! I cannot help but express my gratitude to her for helping us out. She is very professional and gentle. She is a very careful listener and I appreciate that. Thank you so much Jane for being there for all of us. Our family can be a family again because of your help. We are forever thankful. read more

Jane has been a wonderful therapist to work with. Before Jane, my boyfriend and I had therapy with 3 other therapists, none of whom we felt were helpful. We were going through a really tough time in our relationship where we did not know how to talk to each other without yelling and putting the other person down. We just stopped listening to each other and therapy was our last resort. We felt so helpless and frustrated. Then we met Jane, she is different from all of the other therapists, she is such a sweet and kind person. Our previous therapists were okay, but we didn't feel like they really cared and just wanted to kill the hour for money. I felt Jane really listened to our problems and pointed out things we didn't notice in our relationship. She has really insightful questions that have us think about what we want in our relationship, how certain things we say affect the other person, etc. Her approach makes us think deep. It's really weird how questions can be SO helpful in thinking about things that we have never thought of. And it's useful that she guides us in finding our own ways that are good for us, and not just instruct us what to do. She's also a really sincere person, which we really appreciate in a therapist. Our communications have been significantly improved due to Jane's help, and we always walk out of the session feeling more loved with each other. We enjoy going in to see her. We still have a lot to work on, but we are very happy with the progress so far. Thank you, Jane! read more

I've been seeing Jane for almost two years now for issues I do not feel comfortable with disclosing in a public forum such as this. During those years she has always listened to my grievances respectfully and has always given me encouragement to continue to meet my goals and to never give up when times were depressing. She works on a sliding scale as well for those, like myself, who may not be able to afford a full price tag for counseling. She is also willing to work with you should you run into complications with communications such as Skype, your cell phone, etc. I feel more confident after almost all of her sessions. The few where I didn't was mostly on how I was feeling at the time, but talking with her still eased some of my depression. I will most certainly go back to her should there be any other issues or troubles that I require counseling for. She never once gave off the impression that most people would think of whenever they think of a therapist, which is someone who doesn't care or only cares about a paycheck. You always knew she cared about your well-being and enjoys the work that she does. I rate a five out of five and would see her again. read more
