“Dr. Liu was extremely compassionate and caring. He listened very intently to what I was saying and asked really great questions to better understand everything. He was very professional and communicated and explained everything very clearly.”

“I've currently had one visit with Dr. Liu. He was easy to talk even when the topics we covered were difficult for me. He didn't make me feel judged or belittled and was empathetic. He called me right away after I booked an appointment with him on ZocDoc to see if we were a good fit and to find a time that works which I greatly appreciated because other doctors on ZocDoc either just cancelled the appointment on me or never showed which amplified my depression. He gives you several informed treatment options which you can take an active role in. I feel good about continuing my treatment with him and I'd recommend him to those searching for a good psychiatrist. ”

Getting to know Dr. Philip Liu
After making an appointment request on ZocDoc, we will contact you directly through text, phone, or email for a brief free phone consultation to ensure we can meet your needs and are a good match before confirming the requested appointment. If you are using insurance, we will also verify your coverage at that time to avoid any surprise or unexpected charges.
Children, adolescents, young adults, and early career/young professionals often find our practice style well-suited to their needs.
Throughout different stages of life, we face challenges that can leave us feeling stuck and unable to move forward. Whether concerns involve your child's wellbeing (ADHD, mood difficulties, oppositional behaviors), work hardships, interpersonal or relationship stressors, or life transitions, these moments offer opportunities for growth, inner resilience, and deeper self-understanding.
I am a double board-certified child/adolescent and adult psychiatrist who combines up-to-date, evidence-based medical practice with the art of understanding our minds and being through in-depth psychotherapy. I earned my Doctor of Medicine from Tulane University, completed my Psychiatry residency at the University of Texas, San Antonio, and pursued a Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the same institution.
What should a new client know about working with you?
By exploring and making meanings of our beings and lives, we empower ourselves to move past and integrate our ambivalences (that often frustrating inner back-and-forth we have with ourselves) and the seemingly paradoxical/contradictory.
I strive to assist and nurture a visceral content and understanding that it is, and we are okay being the human beings that we are, even when we falter on the uncharted course of life. I hope to explore and experience together, that by virtue of our individual lives and experiences, we are uniquely and inherently valuable and worth cherishing.
If you/your child have concerns about psychiatric diagnoses and wish to understand how to thrive beyond these labels, I warmly invite you to reach out and discuss how we can work together to help you/your child integrate these understandings within our personal whole being. I sincerely look forward to meeting and accompanying you on this journey of healing, self-discovery and personal fulfillment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, we will work together to start to identify and understand how your and/or your child's personal history, experiences, and current factors may be contributing to your/their specific concerns as well as overall mental health. We will then formulate together and implement a plan/ road map to help you/them meet your/their immediate needs and goals, including discussing medication options and their indications should you wish.
In ongoing subsequent sessions, we will strive toward acknowledging, accepting, and embracing our inherent unique personhood/being to help further our personal sense of enrichment, fulfillment, and connectedness with those around us and with our community.

Speaking with Dr. Liu was a wonderful experience. He asked great questions that provoked clear, insightful answers from me. I spoke about myself during the first half, then Dr. Liu came in with his understanding and suggestions. While I wasn't forced to take his "diagnoses" as the final truth, he shared insightful perspectives about my experience I had never thought about before. He carefully shared with me what I could be experiencing based on my feedback and shared guidance what we could do for my next steps.
I'm thankful that I ended up working with Dr. Liu, and it's an experience I won't forget. If you're on the fence, this is your sign not to be!

I felt heard and understood. Amazing dr.
August 29, 2022Laura P.Verified patientVideo visit
My kids were under Dr. Liu's care for behavioral issues. We were having some family changes in addition to the concerns we have of our of children. Dr. Liu was very approachable and kind. He was really compassionate and candid at the same time. Sometimes I'd attend the meetings sometimes and my husband would. We both agree that Dr. Liu has been really helpful for all of us. Even though we as parents were not his patients, per se, we are really glad he saw us as a family.
