Getting to know Melissa Liu

Are you tired of feeling weighed down by external expectations and disconnected from your own voice? Maybe you’re used to being the responsible one, the accommodating one, the one who keeps the peace even when it hurts. Over time, you may have started to lose sight of what you want, what you feel, and who you are outside of what others expect from you. In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you can practice honest self-expression, better understand your emotions, and begin making choices that align with the life you actually want to live.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I draw from person-centered therapy, CBT, and mindfulness to help clients build self-trust, communicate more openly, and create more fulfilling relationships. I am a sex-positive, LGBTQ+-affirming therapist and often work with clients navigating challenges with intimacy, identity, cultural expectations, and family dynamics.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As a second-generation Chinese immigrant and a Midwesterner, I understand what it feels like to live between different sets of values and expectations. If you are trying to figure out who you are, what you want, or how to live more authentically, let’s talk!
