SAbrina liu, ph.d.
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
|
I am a biracial psychologist originally from the Northeast, where I obtained my undergraduate degree in clinical psychology from Tufts University. I moved to California to pursue my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and completed my APA-accredited doctoral internship at Harvard Medical School.
I have extensive experience conducting assessment and therapy with children, adults, families, and groups from diverse backgrounds. I have worked in many settings, including hospitals, schools, and community mental health centers. In therapy, I focus on creating a warm, supportive, and compassionate atmosphere where you can heal and thrive through our collaborative work. I draw on evidence-based approaches, including dialectical-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, parent training, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy.
Outside of my clinical practice, I am an assistant professor at California State University San Marcos, where I teach and conduct research on cultural issues, trauma, resilience, and mental health in critical developmental periods such as pregnancy and childhood. I often publish and present my work, and have received several awards for my research including from American Psychological Association Division of Trauma Psychology and the National Institutes of Mental Health.
I am a member of the American Psychological Association (APA), the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, and the International Marce Society for Perinatal Mental Health.
