Time-limited, evidence-based therapy for professionals
Liang Liao, Ph.D., MBA, M.S.
Licensed psychologist
I specialize in helping professionals in tech.
High performers are often their own worst critic. As someone who has studied and worked in highly competitive environments, I have likely been in your shoes. I work especially well with professionals because I was an engineer (UCLA, M.S.; UC Berkeley, B.S.) for six years and a management consultant (Dartmouth, MBA) for three years. I also served as a psychologist at Facebook’s onsite Wellness Center, providing individual and couples counseling to its employees.
I have helped many individuals who were seeking counseling for the first time. They understood the value of personal growth and professional help. I create a warm and non-judgmental space so you can be your authentic self.
Evidence-based Therapy
Individual therapy
My primary practice is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which is one of the most effective therapy modalities, as evidenced by decades of research. CBT is collaborative and skills-based, and I will track our progress through brief questionnaires completed at the beginning and end of each therapy session. My goal is to help you become your own therapist by learning and practicing a set of skills. Most clients will feel significantly better after 8 to 15 sessions.
