About Me
Welcome! I’m Tu Hoang, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Illumination MFT.
My Story
From childhood through adulthood, life’s demands often dim our connection to ourselves and the world around us. I believe in creating space to pause—to step into the light of awareness and look closely at the patterns that shape us. It is in this light that clarity emerges. When we allow ourselves room to reflect, explore, and be curious, we begin to uncover truths once hidden in shadow. From that place of insight, we can make intentional decisions and begin to shift.
Healing, like nature, moves in seasons. There are times of brightness and growth, and there are quiet seasons when not much seems to be happening on the surface. Even in dormancy, change is present. Sometimes the seeds of transformation are simply conserving energy, waiting for the right conditions to bloom. I honor all of it: the stillness, the movement, and the cycles of light and dark that shape our inner landscapes.
My therapy is evocative and experiential—like art and nature, it moves you. My role is to guide and move with you, helping to uncover what is ready to emerge while holding space for what is still becoming.
I founded Illumination MFT out of deep gratitude for each person I’ve had the privilege to walk alongside, and for the ways we light up each other’s world. I’ve been invited into their stories and trusted to witness both their pain and their power. Together, we’ve built tools, confronted trauma, and planted seeds of healing. It is an honor to be part of these journeys toward light and lightness—and I hope to be part of yours.
