Getting to know Carmen Liu
I work with children, adolescents, couples, and families who may be navigating anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, identity, emotional regulation, family conflict, or relationship difficulties. Children and adolescents may have difficulty expressing their emotions, building confidence, or navigating life transitions, while couples and families may feel stuck in patterns of conflict, miscommunication or disconnection. I’m especially interested in helping clients better understand themselves and their relationships, strengthen communication, and feel more connected and empowered.
I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, safe, and understood. My clinical experiences have shown me how much our relationships, families, culture, and past experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and relate to others. This has deepened my interest in helping clients understand not only what they are experiencing individually but also the relationships and environments that influence them.
My approach draws from attachment-based, family systems, psychodynamic, and CBT perspectives, which I tailor to each client’s needs. I also have experience working with trauma and neurodivergence and am currently training in the Gottman Method to further develop my work with couples.
I believe meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship. Whether I’m helping a child find ways to express their emotions, supporting a parent in better understanding their child, or helping partners and families reconnect, I value creating a space where people can slow down and feel understood.
