Shelley Liu
SaveShelley is currently only accepting NEW ADULT clients and Clients 16 yrs + for Individual Therapy.
My clients often describe me as patient, easy to talk to, and non-judgmental. I strive to provide a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood, and where you feel safe to examine your thoughts, feelings, and difficulties.
Therapy is a purpose-driven conversation based on the shared understanding we develop about your goals and how therapy can help achieve them. My therapy approach is primarily anchored in psychodynamic theory, which focuses on helping you understand underlying patterns and make meaningful, lasting changes in how you think, feel, and relate to others. I also draw from a range of therapeutic methods to tailor our work to your specific needs. In our work together, you can expect to focus on:
Read more about ShelleyShow less
Gaining insight: Developing a deeper understanding of your behaviours and motives through awareness and articulation of emotional experiences.
Identifying patterns: Recognizing how you usually deal with stress and breaking free from painful, self-defeating patterns.
Exploring relationship dynamics: Understanding communication patterns that hinder the development of deeper, more meaningful relationships.
Clarifying life values: Exploring your identity and what you want out of life.
I work with individual adults and youths aged 16 and up, helping with issues like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions, and grief and loss. I also offer parent coaching for those wanting to improve their relationships with their children.
I took a somewhat unconventional path to becoming a Psychologist. My journey began when I was working as a mechanical engineer and volunteering overseas to assist refugees and locally as a distress centre volunteer. These experiences sparked a passion for mental health and a deep admiration for the courage of those I encountered. Embracing this new calling, I went back to school and received my M.Sc. in Counselling Psychology from the University of Calgary. I’ve called Calgary home for 23 years, and as a Chinese-Canadian, I can appreciate how culture influences how we view the world, our relationships, and in turn ourselves.
When I’m not at Refresh you will often find me in the mountains hiking or learning new tricks on my snowboard, playing an exciting boardgame with friends and family, or tending to my veggie garden.
The process of healing and growth can be complex and take time, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside those who choose to engage in that work. I look forward to meeting you and beginning the work together.
