Getting to know Alex Liu
I’m a licensed therapist with more than a decade of experience in mental health, serving as a preschool day-treatment therapist, school-based clinician, supervisor, trainer, and consultant. I take a compassionate, relationship-focused, person-centered approach and am deeply committed to supporting children, families, and fellow clinicians with practical guidance and empathetic care. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and thoughtfully integrate other evidence-based modalities and therapeutic approaches.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal is to create a nurturing and secure atmosphere where you can process the most significant challenges you face and make meaningful progress toward healing. Collaboratively, we will endeavor to identify and fortify your inner resilience and grit. Therapy progresses at your own pace, with a guiding presence as you embark on your journey of self-discovery.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I usually meet with individuals for a complimentary 15-minute consultation before commencing the actual intake process. I firmly believe that those seeking therapy should have the option to choose and establish a genuine connection with their potential therapist. If we are a suitable match, I typically schedule an intake session to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying reasons for seeking therapy. If you are utilizing insurance, a diagnosis and treatment plan will be necessary. On the other hand, if you are paying privately, the documentation process will differ slightly.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
I currently operate a private practice that exclusively accepts private pay clients. In the near future, I may also accept Optum insurance holders. Additionally, I collaborate with Headway to provide mental health services to clients who wish to access their insurance benefits. Headway insurance plans include Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield (in select states), Cigna, Oscar, Oxford, United Healthcare, and all Optum affiliates.
