Ginny Liwanpo, Psy.D.
I am a Clinical Psychologist with over two decades of professional experience, providing compassionate, tailored psychotherapy for adults, children, adolescents, and families. My goal is to support individuals, from all walks of life, navigate adversity while fostering a welcoming, affirming space. As a first-generation Asian American immigrant, my personal journey also enriches my empathic approach for a meaningful connection with cultural sensitivity.
Two Decades of Hands-on
Clinical Experience.
For over 20 years, I have provided a variety of mental health services with particular focus on clinical issues in childhood development, divorce and family conflict, parenting education and support, caregiver stress, grief, recovery from trauma, as well as anxiety and mood disorders.
The incorporation of diversity, equity, and inclusion in my clinical work derives from the variety of clinical training that I have had at inner city, community, and college settings. My extensive experience involved helping caregivers with burnout, supporting families after divorce, and professionals through workplace challenges, as well as guiding young adults through severe struggles with mental health, academic stress, and identity development.
