I help women who are carrying burdens from their original family, constantly dealing with internal criticism, overthinking, experiencing anxiety and depression, and trauma to break free from unhealthy patterns, and be able to increase their capacity to cope and live with self-compassion.  If you experience emotional, verbal, or sexual abuse, have trouble with setting boundaries, tend to people pleased, are afraid to make mistakes, feeling overwhelmed, I would like to work with you.  I help clients who struggle like you do to heal, break generational trauma, and be able to live their full potential.

My approaches are based on EMDR, IFS, and Somatic Experiencing.  The three approaches complement one another well–to help process the emotions, negative beliefs, and trauma that are stored in our bodies.  The goal is to change from feeling “stuck” in the emotions or trauma, into being able to move more at ease, being able to look at things from different perspectives, and providing healing through unconditional positive regard.

Hi, I’m “Jane” I-Chen Liu, a mental health therapist and owner of KareKounseling, PLLC.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.  I am an elder millennial, who now enjoys walking, gardening, spending time with my two kids, and a nice cup of hot beverage. Before having my own private practice in 2020, I was a counselor for a crisis unit, a youth and family therapist, a chemical dependency counselor, and a case manager/therapist for adults and older adults who were homebound.  With 15 years in the field, I continue to find joy and compassion working in the mental health field.  I would love to hear from you to see if I can be of any help.  You can email me at [email protected].
