What's My Approach to Therapy?
Welcome—I’m Dr. Angela Liu, a licensed psychologist in Pasadena, CA. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals who have been afflicted by trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
My approach centers on creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore unresolved feelings, thoughts, and painful life experiences with greater ease. Together, we can understand how past events continue to shape your present choices and discover new pathways toward healing and growth.
I believe the mind and body are deeply interconnected. Through this lens, I integrate Somatic Experiencing (SE)—a gentle, naturalistic approach developed by Dr. Peter Levine—with attachment based psychotherapy. This combination supports the healing of past trauma, reduces self defeating patterns, and fosters healthier, more fulfilling connections with others. Many clients find that this integrated approach helps them create meaningful and lasting change in their lives.
