Welcome to Move When It Counts

Welcome—you’re in the right place. At Move When It Counts, therapy isn’t just a service—it’s a meaningful partnership. I’m Daniel Ku, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) holding a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute, and I bring 8+ years of experience dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s most pivotal moments.


My Approach to Therapy

  • Client-Centered & Compassionate
    Every session is tailored to your unique story, needs, and goals—because you are the expert in your own life.

  • Deep, Insight-Driven Work
    Through Psychodynamic and Attachment Theory, we’ll explore how early experiences and relational patterns shape your life today. Together, we’ll cultivate self-awareness and emotional resilience that lasts.

  • Safe, Reflective Space
    Imagine me as an observer in your “art gallery” of experiences—listening, appreciating, reflecting back your vision—not critiquing it.


Who I Work With

I’ve practiced in community-based mental health since 2001, serving individuals across the mental health spectrum—from complex and severe challenges to everyday stress and life transitions. Over time, my work has broadened to embrace:

  • Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, PTSD

  • Life Stressors & Relational Issues

  • Resilience & Transition Support


What to Expect in Our First Session

  • A brief overview of confidentiality, privacy, and mandated reporting (approx. 5 minutes)

  • The rest of our time will be guided by you—feel free to begin sharing your story in whichever way feels most comfortable.


Why Move When It Counts?

At Move When It Counts, therapy is about more than managing symptoms—it’s about fostering meaningful change. Here, you’re not just supported—you’re seen, heard, and empowered to move forward when it truly matters.
