Yalin Liu

I am a clinical social worker based in Durham, North Carolina. I am passionate about helping my clients understand their feelings and communicate their needs. My postgraduate training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy in conjunction with my studies in mentalization based therapy and dialectic behavioral therapy have equipped me to work with people representing various needs and adversities. We will work collaboratively in exploring your feelings and cultivating your self-worth. Throughout your journey, I will support you as you regain inner strength, understand relational patterns and internal conflicts, and recognize how these factors connect to day-to-day struggles at school, work and in relationships.
