Do you ever feel like nobody truly sees the real you? Perhaps you find yourself hiding parts of who you are to gain acceptance, or maybe you struggle to let even your loved ones see your true self? Or there are parts of yourself that you’re unsure about or don’t fully accept? I want to reassure you: you are not alone in this, you are not to blame for these feelings, and things CAN be different. 

There is profound power in being seen for who you truly are by someone who offers compassion and understanding. After all, how can we be really loved if we are not being really seen? That is my goal here–to create a space where you can embrace your authentic self without fear. Together, we can embark on a journey toward authenticity and liberation. 

Welcome to Seen and Liberating

Dr. Shuyi Liu’s Psychological Services

Who am I? I am Dr. Shuyi Liu, a licensed psychologist, clinical psychology professor, and clinical supervisor. Over the past 12 years of my clinical work, I have had the privilege of meeting many clients who struggle with the feeling of not being seen—by others and by themselves. While the presenting issues may vary—be it anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship difficulties, trauma, and self-esteem concerns—there is often a underneath sense of disconnect and pain from not fully understanding, regulating, or honoring their true selves.

I enjoy using my skills to help my clients build a balanced and integrated place within. It brings me immense joy to have witnessed many of them make steady progress toward the lives they desire. So, I can’t wait to partner with you on your journey too.

I am dedicated to providing personalized support and effective therapy grounded in evidence, ensuring you receive the high-quality care you deserve. 

My top specialties: anxiety, depression, perfectionism, trauma, minority stress, acculturative stress, immigration stress, and perinatal mental health.

My languages: Mandarin Chinese (普通话) and English
