Xiao Fu

Xiao Fu

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


My path into psychiatry is both professional and personal. I moved to the U.S. alone at 17 while navigating complex PTSD and periods of misdiagnosis, which shaped how I understand mental health today. I began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Nankai University, then trained as a nurse and nurse practitioner at Charles R. Drew University and Purdue University.

Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked across medical and mental health settings, developing an approach that balances clinical precision with individualized care. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and complex PTSD, particularly for individuals who feel stuck or haven’t found relief in traditional treatment.

I’m licensed in California, Virginia, New York, Washington, and Oregon, and provide care via telehealth.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Stockton

Finding addiction therapists in Stockton starts with understanding the kind of care that matches your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, cravings, relapse prevention, and behavioral concerns. As you compare Stockton therapists, look for training in approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to note whether a therapist coordinates with psychiatrists or other healthcare professionals.

Stockton has a range of mental health care options, but the right match also depends on practical details. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices near your home, work, or school while still helping you stay connected to care. Consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, including whether they use nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed care.

Therapy in Stockton can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to search for Stockton therapy by insurance, specialty, availability, and appointment format, so you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
