Anna is a wonderful and empathetic therapist as well as a great listener who encourages me to tell her what is going on in my life, what I am having trouble with, and asks relevant questions. She gives me feedback, especially in areas of difficulty and any issues that have come up. She has helped me a great deal to get through many interpersonal and family issues and is positive in her feedback. She is kind, honest and pragmatic in her approach. I am grateful that she is my therapist and is the person that I can share my problems and concerns with. She reminds me of where I was when started and the progress that was made and I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Anna as capable and professional therapist.
MKVerified patient

SYVerified patient
Anna is fantastic and incredible!!! Great visits!!!!! She is a wonderful psychotherapist. She has been so understanding, kind and compassionate during a very difficult and challenging time in my life. Anna has helped me really understand myself, and the underlying unresolved issues that have been causing me pain and distress within my life. She has helped me work through my issues on a much deeper level. She is absolutely amazing, kind, compassionate and so experienced. I truly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced therapist.
KOVerified patient
Excellent visit. Dr. Liu is attentive and listens in a way that is different than the other therapists I have been to. As someone who has seen many different therapists over the years, I would say that Dr. Anna Liu has been the most helpful in giving me the space to explore difficult life decisions and situations. I highly recommend her.
GTVerified patient
My partner and I came in after infidelity... Very traumatic and intense. Dr. Liu was able to hold the space for both of us, contained our emotions, and facilitated our conversation off to a good start. She also provided us recovery resources immediately after the session. Both my partner and I feel that we are in good and trusted hands for our healing journey.
PMVerified patient
Anna was absolutely wonderful. Super communicative leading up to the appointment, and then an awesome listener at our session. She gave me tools and questions to think about which is exactly what I needed.
DLVerified patient
I’ve been consulting with Dr. Liu for over six months now. Reflecting on this journey, I’m truly grateful and deeply value the sessions we’ve shared. She has been an attentive guide through a challenging phase of my life, offering not just support but inspiration as well. Her wealth of experience is evident in the variety of tools and exercises she has provided, which have been instrumental in extending my progress beyond our sessions. Our collaborative work remains a vital part of my journey.
HAVerified patient
Anna is patient and insightful. I felt comfortable right off the bat, and helped by her skillfulness as a therapist. She is clearly experienced and knows how to provide meaningful treatment.
GTVerified patient
I approached Anna when I was going through relationship issue and anxiety. As a person she is sweetest and as a therapist she is very understanding. She walked me through each and every situation and provided me with logical reasoning which I could very well connect to. I’m very glad I found her as she opened me up to new ways of thinking through a situation and dealing with them.
AWVerified patient
Anna was incredibly kind and facilitated natural conversation that made both my partner and I feel safe and comfortable to open up. Would highly recommend her for couples!
KYVerified patient
I had the unfortunate experience of going thru a revolving door of LCSW before I started working with Anna. Previously, I felt like I was not progressing and my experience was inorganic. Anna is punctual and flexible in timing offered. She is responsive and professional and I feel a natural connection and safe space to speak with Anna about anything that’s weighing on me. I also find her flexible in speaking about whatever is top of mind each session. I have long term goals I shared that I wanted to work on but she easily transitions if I bring up things that are more pressing. Even if I jump around in my thoughts, she doesn’t skip a beat and asks for clarification without passing judgment. I highly recommend Anna!
KLVerified patient
Being an international student studying in the US, I didn’t expect my therapist to understand the intensity of the struggles I am facing but Anna was super comprehensive and I felt heard and understood which was something I was looking for. She also took several efforts to help me out of the situations I have been in. She has been super understanding and accommodating of my unpredictable schedule. All words fall short when I begin to express my gratitude towards Anna, I would recommend her a 100% to anyone seeking therapy especially the first timers because she is everything you have been looking for!
VTVerified patient
Anna challenges me more than any therapist I've ever had and I leave every session feeling empowered to work on what we've addressed. Her energy is contagious, and motivates me to be a better version of myself, the one she sees in me that I don't always see in myself. I genuinely look forward to each session with her to continue our work together.
WSVerified patient
Highly recommend Anna. She doesn’t take my insurance but she is absolutely worth going out of network for her expertise, clear communication style and a straight forward approach.
She helped me through a very difficult period in my life. She is sensitive and knowledgeable. I am always at ease in her office, which is always very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect. I would highly recommend Anna's services to anyone looking for a great therapist.
HPVerified patient
This visit was great! I feel much better about so many things that were on my mind. Anna is easy to talk to and I am already getting much out of my sessions and I have only gone 3 times.
MSVerified patient
This is my fourth time in therapy and the first time I’ve had a GOOD therapist. Anna is more than good, she’s amazing. She is sincere and genuinely wants to help. I feel like I’m talking to a real person and don’t feel like a patient who’s just talking the whole time.
Anna is smart, open, engaged, professional, understanding and I 100% feel her support.
JOVerified patient
Finding a therapist you connect with can be really tough, so I consider myself extremely lucky to have found Dr. Liu. Her guidance has been a tremendous source of support on and off for the past year. She’s helped me learn, discover and grow through extremely tough times.
TBVerified patient
I've been seeing Anna for a few weeks now, and I really enjoy our appointments. She's very approachable, and I appreciate her no-nonsense attitude. She's helped me to identify patterns in my behavior that are not serving me, and I've been able to pivot when I see those coming up again. I plan to keep seeing her consistently going forward!
MLVerified patient
It was welcoming the first visit and felt easy to express myself. After each visit I felt like a weight was slowly lifting. All the information that was given was informative and helpful. My overall experience I would recommend to other.
JGVerified patient
Anna is warm and professional. She listens and provides spot-on analysis. She is easy to approach and is an energized therapist!
POVerified patient
The entire experience went smoothly and everything was according to plan. The care provided was prompt and professional, and I would recommend to others.

Anna was so easy to talk to. My fiancé opened up so quickly, and felt comfortable. I immediately felt at ease as well. Things were just smooth, and uncomplicated. Anna was a great listener and knew how to guide us to talk openly.
We appreciate the appt.
March 14, 2023Crystal M.Verified patient
Anna has a very supportive smile and always encourage patient and respect their thoughts.
Open to different ideas and views and gave very constructive feedback with professional domain knowledge.
Easy to community with her without stress. Highly recommend!
FZVerified patient
Anna was delightful to work with. She is very present, attentive and patient. Her positive demeanor, ready smile and palpable empathy made me feel that I had been heard and understood!!
POVerified patient
I have been to a few therapist and Anna is by far the best. She offers reasons and solutions to certain situations and has a ton of resources and tools to provide to you. She listens and cares about what you have to say your not just another person she has to see. Anna read an entire book on a topic related to my issues just so she could understand my circumstances more. I wish I could give her more stars.
AMVerified patient
Ana is a great therapist who helped me understand and connect with my inner voice. One thing she helped me understand was sometimes my sensitive nature and my own analysis can undermine my self-worth. The best way I can cope with it is to take a break, let it go or look at it as a learning opportunity. All of these make me think positively and calmly. This is so enlightening for me so I can keep taking care of myself.
HHVerified patient
Since working with Anna, I have started to develop better ways to help my anxiety. Every time I explain a situation or person to Anna, she always gives me the best feedback. She relates to many things/situations and she always knows the right thing to say and when to say it. She has helped me realize a lot of things are temporary or out of my control. Realizing this has helped with my anxiety so much. She’s helped me so much and I’m so grateful we have crossed paths!
