I work with people who have experienced trauma in many forms, including abusive relationships and high-control or coercive religious groups. These experiences often involve a loss of autonomy, confusion around identity, and difficulty trusting your own thoughts and instincts. My perspective is shaped by my own story of growing up in a non-traditional environment and feeling unsure where I belonged as a young adult. Therapy helped me build a stronger sense of identity and direction, and that experience continues to inform how I show up for my clients.

Therapy is a creative process, one that begins when we give ourselves permission to speak freely, inviting gentle curiosity and the emergence of something new. I see patients who have traversed painful experiences and want help making sense of them. The objective is not to erase the painful memories, but to find what can still grow and even flourish out of the rubble. In our work together, we will make room for words and feelings that matter, some perhaps spoken for the first time. This process can lead to deeper self-knowing, relief from psychological pain, and a fuller engagement with life.

Being seen and heard more deeply than ever before is what I hope to provide you. Providing understanding why you are having a hard time is also crucial to change. The experience of being understood opens the way for self-reflection, learning and practicing new ways of being and disconfirming pathological beliefs. The number one predictor of positive outcome in psychotherapy is the relationship that develops between the therapist and the client, and I strive to engender a sense of safety to enable your trust and confidence in what can be a difficult, challenging, but life-changing journey.

Maybe you don’t know exactly what’s wrong, but something feels like it’s missing.
Therapy is a place to explore what hurts, what matters, and what might need to change. You don’t have to have it all figured out.
I work with the bigger things: love, suffering, purpose. I work with the smaller things: a bad first date, a frustrating colleague, a stressful family holiday. In our work together, there’s room for all of it. I’m especially interested in understanding who you are, what you’ve been through, and where you might like to go next.

Hello, I’m Dr. Shuyi Liu, a licensed psychologist.

First: F ICE!
Second: Dads! Let's get real, parenting is hard.
And if you're feeling anxious, depressed, disconnected, overwhelmed...you're not alone, but it can feel that way. You're probably consumed by all of your tasks and goals; advancing your career, securing a stable income, and staying connected with your partner and loved ones, all while battling exhaustion and burnout. Perhaps you have unresolved past experiences weighing on you, too.
And on the surface, you want practical relationship, parenting, and self-care tools. What you may truly need though is to feel connected to others and your self.
I want to support you.

Have you been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something is missing, even though you’ve tried to do everything "right"? Maybe you feel anxious trying to measure up to expectations that keep changing. As an Asian American woman, I know how hard it is to balance cultural pressures, family obligations, and your own needs. Perfectionism and the drive for success can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. You may also find it difficult to set boundaries or advocate for yourself. It's exhausting, but you don’t have to face it alone.
