“I can tell Bingwan listens to me and I feel cared about by her. She doesn’t give me advice but she helps me see things I don’t see about myself which I find empowering. ”

“Bingwan is a wonderful therapist, and a great fit for me. In our sessions, I feel embraced, nourished, and challenged in the ways that I need. She provides a good mixture of listening and analyzing - which is something I have struggled to find with other therapists. Bingwan is keen, gentle, thoughtful, and firm. She has clearly dedicated herself to attuning to whatever might arise in a given moment.
I met Bingwan at a time just before my life changed dramatically. Our work together has made it possible to traverse such sudden shifts with better awareness and support. She's helped me to feel my emotions from a place of curiosity and love. I very much recommend working with her.”

Getting to know Bingwan Liu
For a decade, I've helped my patients work through relational traumas, navigate trans-cultural issues, develop self-understanding, and embody a compassionate, empathetic attitude toward oneself and others. I use Jungian/depth psychology, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic experiencing to help my patients integrate challenging experiences and improve their quality of life.
In sessions, I create an open and empathic space for you to share your thoughts, feelings, fantasies, dreams, and bodily sensations as much as you feel comfortable. We will sit with your experiences, recognize how you came into being, identify your main psychological work and necessary changes, connect with and process your emotional challenges, and work through any conflicts. Progress is evident when you suffer fewer symptoms, improve work or school performance, have better relationships, and feel empowered to make your own choices. I will not assign homework, although our work is most effective when you tend to your thoughts and feelings about our conversations in and out of sessions and bring them to my attention.
My path to becoming a psychotherapist parallels my journey of making sense of who I am. I always knew I wanted to connect with and help others, so with my family's support, I came to the US to train and become a clinical social worker. To a degree I didn't expect, the transcultural experience of growing up in China and coming to the US fueled the spark in me to investigate who I am, what I value, and what I desire in life. The richness of the adventure would not have been possible had I not received help from many teachers, especially my psychoanalyst. I'm passionate about offering what I've learned to other adults who are finding their life paths and meanings so they create the lives they want to live.

My therapy goals and areas of growth have shifted with different phases of my life, but my work with Bingwan is truly guiding me to the heart of my thoughts, feelings and motivations that make up who I am. As someone prone to black and white thinking, I always want the “answers.” Bingwan challenges me to explore the possibilities of embracing the gray. Her observations come in the form of questions for us to explore together. She is patient but knows then to push me, and honest without being too blunt or too sugar-coated. Bingwan is professional and highly intelligent, but also easygoing and approachable. I feel comfortable sharing parts of myself with her that I’ve never explored with other therapists. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Bingwan to both experienced and new therapy clients. She meets you where you are and dedicates her talents to gently guide you closer to where you want to be. I am proud of the growth I have achieved so far in our year together and am excited to curiously navigate what’s on my mind with Bingwan every week.

Bingwan is thorough, compassionate and insightful. I’ve been working with her for over 2 years since the pandemic started. She’s helping me so much! I recommend her to anyone who wants to understand what’s bothering them deep down and work through those stuff.
