Meet Anna Liu, LCSW MBA
Stop living on autopilot and start feeling alive.
Depth-Oriented Therapy for professionals seeking more than success. In-person in Scottsdale, AZ and online across AZ & CA.
Are you ready to stop questioning yourself and start facing your emotions head-on?
Do you want to show up as your true self—pursuing your dreams unapologetically, free from the weight of others' expectations?
Imagine a life where you reclaim your power, embrace your emotions, and experience everything extraordinary. With the right support, you can.
Who we become and the life we lead is up to us. Through our work together, I’ll help you find the path to a more joyful, fulfilling, and authentic life.
I’m a motivational life-transformer, a resilient single mom, a successful career switcher, and a behaviorist with over 18 years of clinical experience in California and Arizona. I love working with driven, introspective individuals—helping growth-minded professionals break free from what unconsciously holds them back.
Most people go through life unaware of the deeper forces shaping their emotions and behaviors. They repeat patterns without knowing why. Insight-driven psychotherapy creates space for deep self-exploration, uncovers unconscious patterns, and helps you move through repressed emotions—so you can step fully into the life you were meant to live.
"This is NOT how I want to live my one and only life. I want more. Don’t I deserve more?"
You’re in the right place.
I believe transformation begins when you take a risk—choosing to face life’s challenges while staying true to yourself.
Twelve years ago, I was the picture of a “good wife, good mother, good daughter.” I lived comfortably in a SoCal suburb, stuck in a well-paid but uninspiring corporate job. I followed the path I was told to take—predictable, settled, mediocre.
But deep down, I knew something was missing.
Through a long and difficult journey of self-discovery, I reexamined the unconscious patterns that had shaped my life and finally broke free.
Now, I’m living experiences I once believed were only possible in my wildest dreams.
Let me be your guide in your own transformation—helping you draw strength from pain, break through what holds you back, and unlock your limitless potential for a purposeful, fulfilling life.
I know what it’s like to feel trapped in a life that doesn’t quite fit—going through the motions while something deeper calls for more. My own journey of breaking free from expectations, confronting my fears, and redefining my path has given me a profound understanding of the struggles my clients face.
With over 18 years of clinical experience and a deep commitment to insight-driven therapy, I help ambitious, introspective professionals navigate the complexities of their inner world. Together, we uncover the unconscious patterns shaping your life, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
THERAPY FOR EMOTIONAL OVERWHELM
Your emotions feel intense and all-consuming, leaving you exhausted and uncertain. Instead of just managing the chaos, we’ll explore its deeper roots—helping you gain clarity, self-compassion, and a sense of control.
THERAPY FOR STRESS & BURNOUT
You’re successful but stretched thin, running on empty despite your best efforts. We’ll uncover what’s driving the burnout, so you can move from survival mode to a life that feels sustainable and fulfilling.
THERAPY FOR RELATIONSHIPS
You long for deeper connections but often feel misunderstood or stuck in the same patterns. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences shape your relationships and help you build meaningful, authentic connections.

What I Believe About Therapy
01
What you avoid controls you; what you face frees you. True freedom comes from integrating, not ignoring, the parts of yourself you fear.
02
Your suffering holds the key to your growth. The parts of you that hurt the most are often the ones calling for the deepest healing.
03
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life. Self-awareness isn’t just insight—it’s the first step toward transformation.
04
A fulfilled life isn’t about happiness—it’s about wholeness. Meaning comes from embracing all of who you are, not just the parts that feel good.
