Chelsea Liu

I am a licensed therapist with clinical experience and specialized training in perinatal mental health. I am also a mother of three with personal experience with perinatal mood disorders which ignited and fuels my passion for supporting mothers. Wherever you are on your journey in motherhood, I am here to hold a safe space for you where you can share every part of your experience without judgment or shame. You may be experiencing your first pregnancy and feeling nervous about the transition to motherhood, or you are postpartum and not feeling like yourself or finding it more difficult to adjust than you expected. Or maybe you are a seasoned mom, past the baby stage, and feeling like you've lost yourself in motherhood. You love being a mother, but you aren't prioritizing yourself anymore and realizing that, sure enough, you really can't pour from that empty cup. During any of these stages in motherhood, you might be experiencing a multitude of feelings and emotions and sometimes it becomes overwhelming. You feel joy and sadness, love and anger, contentment and anxiety...that is a lot to process, all while dealing with everything else that comes with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery! Oh, and don't forget the new tiny human or other humans relying on you for their every need... That's why I'm here. You don't have to do this alone. My services include individualized therapeutic support, perinatal mental health education, resources to utilize outside of our sessions, collaboration with other care providers (with your consent) to ensure we are treating your whole person, and connection through support groups. In addition to individual sessions, I also offer Postpartum Planning Sessions with a support person of your choosing for anyone who would like to prepare mentally and emotionally for the postpartum period. You are not required to be a current or continuing client of mine to utilize this service. You can schedule a free consultation call with me here on my website, or feel free to email me with any questions at chelsea@chelsealiucounseling.com. I accept Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas and Aetna commercial insurance plans as well as private pay. I look forward to hearing from you!
