Stella Liang, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

About me - The Clinical Stuff

I graduated from Chapman University with an undergrad degree in Sociology, which plays a major role in my work. There will never be 'Cultural Competency," thus shifting my approach to sessions that are driven by curiosity and exploration.

My graduate degree is from Pepperdine University, where I combined both ideas of culture and psychology to develop deeper meaning behind choices we make and the way we respond to the world.

I've worked with individuals from varying backgrounds including but are not exclusive to:

Neurodivergence (ADHD + ASD + OCD)
Trauma ( PTSD + C-PTSD)
LGBTQIA+

Common themes I work with:

Chronic Illness, Medical Trauma, Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, Nervous System Dysregulation, Social / Political challenges, Doubt, High Performers

Past work experiences include: Community Mental Health, Inpatient Group Homes, Outpatient Therapy, and Private Practice.

But most importantly, I get it and if I don't, I would like to.

How I Work

My Style

I'm a neurodivergent therapist specializing in Psychodynamic therapy through a neuroaffirmative attachment lens. I am trauma informed and utilize EMDR therapy as part of my approach, practicing with an anti-carceral lens. This allows us to co-create in a space that does not punish you for who you are, but rather gives you an opportunity to understand your roots without shame.

EMDR

My Style

I provide EMDR Therapy, specializing in Neuroaffirmative Psychotherapy for individuals experiencing Neurodivergence and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). As a Neurodivergent Therapist, I focus on tailored therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of my clients.

My Style

ERP

I provide Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) alongside EMDR Therapy to support clients. My specializations include working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and those with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). As a neurodivergent therapist, I also address co-occurring disorders through neuroaffirmative psychotherapy.
