Yu-Yun Liu

Yu-Yun Liu

Psychologist

Virtual • Illinois


Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I believe finding a therapist who is a good fit can help make the process more manageable. I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety and stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, cultural adjustment, and concerns related to eating and body image. I value understanding how culture, identity, family, and life experiences shape each person’s perspective. LGBTQ+ affirmation is meaningful to me on both a personal and professional level, and I strive to create a welcoming space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their identities, relationships, and experiences.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling, gardening, watching movies and musicals, and spending time with my partner and our 11-year-old rescue dog, Taj.

Kirsten Enoch

Kirsten Enoch

Therapist

Virtual • Chicago, IL


I believe healing happens in the context of safe, attuned relationships. Whether I’m working with a child through play, supporting parents, or helping adults understand their relational patterns, my work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration.

I have extensive experience working with children and families, particularly around attachment-related concerns, including families formed through foster care and adoption. I also enjoy working with adults who want to better understand how early relational experiences may still influence their relationships today.

I am trained in the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI), a research-based interview that can help adults explore how early experiences shape the way they connect with others. When appropriate, I can integrate this perspective into our therapy work together.

Amanda Mullen

Amanda Mullen

Therapist

Virtual • Charleston, IL


Hello! I'm Amanda Mullen, a Licensed Therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-I), licensed in South Carolina and Illinois.

As a veteran and former military spouse, I'm especially passionate about supporting veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families. While every person's experience is unique, I understand many of the challenges these communities face through both professional training and lived experience.

One philosophy that guides my work is simple: I don't preach—I teach. My role isn't to tell you how to live your life but to help you better understand yourself, build practical coping skills, and gain the confidence to navigate life's challenges long after therapy ends. I genuinely believe in the techniques I use because I've seen their ability to create lasting change.

I also believe healing extends beyond the therapy office. Spending time in nature, slowing down, and reconnecting with yourself can be powerful tools for growth and resilience, and I often encourage clients to incorporate these practices into their daily lives.

My greatest strength as a therapist is creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, coping with work stress, navigating life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everyday life—even potty training a new puppy—you'll find a compassionate, supportive, and judgment-free environment. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.
