People usually come to psychotherapy because something doesn't feel right. It could be a barely discernible niggling feeling that things could be better, or it could be a full-blown war zone just to get through the day.
Sometimes people feel that they should be "normal" and certainly don't need to "get help, " yet notice over time, perhaps years or decades that certain patterns in their lives recur in ways that leave them short of fulfillment and satisfaction.Unmet goals and unfulfilled potentials don't stop life from moving forward, but it can leave individuals longing for more-and unaware of how to get it.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (also called Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy) and Psychoanalysis have the same theoretical grounding and therefore essentially similar approaches to therapy. For the purposes of this article I will use the terms interchangeably. You can read the FAQ "In what ways are psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy different" to get some flavor of the difference between them, but this article focuses on their commonalities.
Dr. Wu integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness with all the approaches of psychotherapy she practices. When called for, she is trained to help clients with explicit mindfulness training, in the style of MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), by walking them through in-session exercises and assisting them in developing body-centered and non-judgmental awareness skills.
Mindfulness has become very popular in the last decade or so. The beginning of this process might be traced to the counter-cultural movement of the 1960s, when spiritual seekers such as Ram Dass (born Richard Alpert and once a Stanford-trained psychologist) and Joseph Goldstein (founder of Insight Meditation Society) looked to Hinduism and Buddhism in the East for fresh insights to spiritual and psychological questions.
