about

GRACE LIU, PsyD, LMFT

Working with children with special needs has been my passion ever since I began graduate school. It touches my heart deeply when I see these children grow, thrive, and succeed.

MY STORY

As a compassionate therapist who is tri-lingual in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and with extensive counseling experience with children, individuals and families with special needs in home, clinic, and school settings during the past 10 years, my goal is to work collaboratively with you and your family on the journey to overcoming barriers to success. A developmental disability is not necessarily an obstacle to success.  I will focus on what you can do rather than what you cannot do.
