Hello, I am Dr. Xu, a licensed clinical psychologist, Board-Certified behavioral sleep medicine specialist (DBSM) and AASECT Board-Certified Sex Therapist (CST). Currently, I serve as the chair of the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine (SBSM) OPEC committee, and the adjunct clinical faculty at the School of Medicine of Stanford University.

I have 3 clinical specialties: 1) treatment for sleep disorders such as insomnia/circadian rhythm disorders, 2) treatment for sexual dysfunction and promoting sexual well-being, and 3) treatment for children/teen mental health.

I am the founder and director of our clinic: Mind & Body Garden Psychology. We are one of the largest multilingual mental health clinics in California right now, with 20+ psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists. We provide a variety of services:

I always see the role of a psychologist as a gardener. When people come to us seeking support, they may have too many branches of mental blocks and bushes of stress in their lives. What we can do is to help people be more aware of the branches and bushes that impact their quality of life, and then assist them to trim these parts, cope with stress, and live a healthier and happier life.

I find the knowledge of sleep and sex fascinating. The more we know about these, the less scary it becomes! I want to use my knowledge to help you all to sleep better, have better relationships with others, with yourself, and live a happier life!
