Great to meet you!

Hello! I’m Dr. Shuyi Liu. I earned my PhD in Counseling Psychology from Iowa State University, along with an M.A. and M.Ed. in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University.

My areas of expertise include the treatment of depression, anxiety, perfectionism, stress management, identity development, trauma, and BIPOC mental health. I am also skilled in addressing complex trauma, perinatal mental health, and ADHD-related challenges.

My approach to therapy

My clinical work is trauma-informed and multiculturally responsive, employing an integrative evidence-based and relational approach to therapy.

I strive to create a safe, empowering, judgment-free environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I see myself as warm, collaborative, and curious in sessions. Together, we make meaningful connections and create actionable changes—so you can release what isn’t serving you and reinforce what is.

What you can expect from me

I strive to help you improve your self-awareness and gain insight into yourself and your challenges. With the warm and welcoming environment, I want to help you feel fully seen, understood, accepted, and safe. Together, we can address current difficulties, work on symptom reduction, and explore significant past experiences that still affect you. Additionally, we can work on taking practical steps aligned with your goals and values, fostering meaningful change and growth along the way.
