Rachel Liu is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports children, adolescents, and adults in navigating life’s challenges with compassion and care. She is especially passionate about working with clients from diverse cultural and lived experiences, including immigrants and first-generation Americans.
Rachel specializes in helping individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, cultural adjustment, identity exploration, and life transitions. She honors each client’s unique story, tailoring her approach to align with their goals, values, and strengths.
As an EMDR-certified therapist, Rachel specializes in trauma-focused work using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process past experiences, reduce emotional distress, and build a greater sense of safety and resilience. Her therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, integrating EMDR with approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy.
Rachel strives to create a safe, affirming space where clients can feel seen, heard, and supported in doing deeper healing work.
Rachel earned her Master of Social Work from Columbia University. Her personal and professional experiences as a bicultural individual inform her commitment to providing culturally sensitive, strengths-based care.
“I believe therapy is a space to feel understood and supported as you reconnect with your inner strengths. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you process what feels stuck, build self-compassion, and move toward a life of greater peace, authenticity, and confidence.”
