Khinmaysoe “KC” Chu, AMFT, APCC, is an EMDR trained therapist, a sex addiction therapist, trained through IITAP, IFS-informed, and Somatic Experiencing-informed.

She supports betrayed partners and children of sex addicts to heal their trauma and to empower them with boundaries and communication skills to get their needs met in the relationship.

She supports couples who are experiencing infidelity or sexual acting out in their relationships and helps the couple work towards healing by developing trust, intimacy, connection, and changing harmful gaslighting behaviors to support the betrayed partner’s triggers.

She supports clients with multiple addictions, behavioral, alcohol or chemical addictions as well as other behavioral addictions such as gaming, internet, gambling, working, eating, and shopping using the same treatment approach.

She uses parts work and somatic approaches to facilitate the EMDR therapy process. She addresses developmental trauma, attachment/relational trauma, and intergenerational trauma.

KC’s treatment approaches

  • IFS

    I incorporate IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy or Part’s work along with EMDR and trauma-informed therapy to support my client’s parts toward healing. I help my clients develop a strong connection with their parts using mindfulness and self-compassionate approaches towards integration with their selves.

  • Somatic Experiencing

    I provide psychoeducation for my client’s somatic experiences and help them understand their body mind connection as they are experiencing them in the therapy session. I help my clients develop skills for awareness of their triggers or body sensations and skills to shift their somatic states towards calmness, safety, self-regulation, and towards their desired goals of how they want to feel in their body when triggered.

  • EMDR

    I will work with you to understand your trauma history and timeline and collaborate with you to develop your treatment plan and the priority of targeting your trauma memories. You will experience relief, freedom, and change as we work together to help you safely go through the EMDR intervention process. You will have full control of every step of the EMDR process where I support you each step of the way in your healing journey.

  • DBT

    I use Dialectic Behavioral Therapy to help you develop skills for emotional health, communication, relationship, and balance in all areas of your life.

  • Addiction

    I help clients who struggle with their sexual health and collaboratively work with them towards healthy sexuality and towards healthy sexual relationships with their partners. I help my clients learn to understand the underlying issues behind their sexual behaviors, heal from their underlying traumatic past, and learn new skills for relating in healthy sexual relationships. 

  • Gottman Method

    I use Gottman interventions to support couples who are stuck in their patterns or pain cycles of interactions. I provide communications and conflict management skills for couples to negotiate their needs in their relationships. I provide a wholistic treatment for the couple to enhance all areas of their relationship.

EMDR Trained Therapist for Trauma Therapy

“What is EMDR Therapy? How Do I Know If It’s Right for Me?”

Learn more about EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is structured and trauma-focused in an expedited process with lasting results. It encourages you to attune and pay attention to all aspects of your memories and your reactions in the present moment. All aspects refer to images, physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. You get to listen to and care for your inner child. Its process of healing also asks you to be creative in your unique way.

As an EMDR Trained Therapist, I can help you process single traumatic incidents, such as PTSD or adjustment issues. This means if you have experienced an accident or an experience that you continue to feel stuck about, I can help you feel “unstuck” and move forward in your life.
