Get to Know Me

Hi,

I’m “Jane” I-Chen Liu, a mental health therapist and owner of KareKounseling, PLLC.  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, 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. 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 10 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 recent years, I have been curious about how nutrition and hormones are affecting one’s mental health. Facing perimenopause myself, a long history of PMDD, and recovery from chronic dieting, this is something dear to me that I am listening more to my body, coming home to my body, and learning to be kind to my body.
