About the practice

A small practice built around belonging.

Liu Mental Health Counseling is a small group practice offering online therapy in New York and Florida. We start from a simple idea: culture shapes mental health, and therapy goes further when your therapist understands where you are coming from.

Many of the people we work with are first-generation Americans, students figuring out who they are becoming, creatives running on empty, or people who have felt that therapy was not built for them. If any of that sounds familiar, you are welcome here.

How we can help.

Offered across our clinical team. Specialties vary by therapist.

Individual Therapy

A space to understand what you are carrying and why certain patterns keep returning, usually weekly by secure video.

EMDR

A structured therapy for memories that still affect you. It can ease their hold, often without retelling them in detail.

Couples Therapy Coming soon

For couples who want to argue less and repair more. We are not booking couples sessions yet.

Group Therapy Coming soon

Small groups for people working through similar experiences. Groups are not open yet.

In our clients’ words.

I’ve been through several therapists over the years, but this is the first time I’ve stayed with one consistently. Tina is an AMAZING therapist, and I’m truly grateful to have her. She’s knowledgeable, listens deeply, and always provides meaningful feedback. Thank you, Tina.
Client of Tina Liu, LMHC-D
We both have a similar upbringing as children of (southern) Chinese immigrants, so she understood a lot of what I brought up around parent-child dynamics and how that plays into adulthood. She’s been really instrumental in asking the right questions to get me to see new parts of myself. I honestly believe she’s there to help me get better.
Client of Tina Liu, LMHC-D
Tina is an exceptional therapist. She comes off as authentic and makes me feel like she genuinely cares. She’s made me feel comfortable from day one and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her.

Questions before you start?

All FAQs

What happens in the first session?

The first session is a 50-minute intake, billed at the standard rate. We talk about your story and your goals and complete a few brief assessments. There is no commitment beyond it.

How does telehealth work?

You receive a link to a secure, HIPAA-compliant video session. All you need is a private space and a device with a camera.

Who do we work best with?

We often work with high school and college students and adults in their twenties and thirties. Many are AAPI, BIPOC, queer, or children of immigrants, or work in healthcare, tech, or creative fields, and are navigating anxiety, burnout, identity, relationships, or change.

How it starts

From “I should probably talk to someone” to your first session, in three steps.

Get Started Text (917) 809-8067

  1. Reach out

    Text (917) 809-8067, send the form below, or book directly through Headway. Tell us a little about what is going on and who you would like to work with, or let us suggest someone.

  2. We handle the logistics

    We check your insurance so you know your copay ahead of time, or set up a sliding-scale rate if you don't have workable coverage. Then you'll get a link to a secure client portal to sign your intake paperwork and add a payment method on file. Insurance billing goes through Headway, so there's nothing for you to file.

  3. Your first session

    A 50-minute video intake: your story, your goals, and what you want from therapy. There is no commitment beyond it.

Reach out whenever you're ready.
