Get to Know Me

Hi,

I’m “Jane” I-Chen Liu, mental health therapist and owner of KareKounseling, LLC.  I’ve been following all kinds of Youtubers and exercising with them for the past five years, a mom of two kids, an immigrant from Taiwan, a Khaled Hosseini fan, and a dreamer who wish to hop on the airplane to travel abroad again. 

​

Before working for KareKounseling, LLC, 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 14 years in the field, I continue to find joy and compassion working in the mental health field. In recent years, I’ve been focusing on using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, Eye Movement Desensitizing Reprocessing (EMDR), IFS therapy, and Somatic Experiencing to help clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms.  

 

I’m originally from Taiwan, and I’ve been fortunate to have the experience of living both in the East coast for 7 years and now living in the Pacific Northwest for 9 years.  I received my MA in Counseling from West Virginia University, and BFA in Communication Arts from Fu-Jen Catholic University, and BA in English from Fu-Jen Catholic University. (Yes, I do enjoy reading Jane Austin. And no…I still have no interest in reading Transcendentalism). In my past life, I thought I would be working in Hollywood or be a hair dresser, and sometimes I still wonder what I want to be when I grow up. The potential just seems so unlimited :)
