Tsuki Niu / Tzu-Chi Liang, LMFT
Therapist in Schaumburg IL Offering Online Therapy in IL, IN, MI, WI, OR, & MA
Therapy that honors your story and your wholeness
You’ve always tried to do everything right… but it still feels like it’s not enough
You’re exhausted. Not just physically, but emotionally—bone-deep tired.
You’re doing all the things: showing up at work, trying to stay on top of school, supporting your family, pretending to be “okay” in every way. From the outside, you look like you’ve got it together. Inside? You’re barely holding on.
You’ve spent years pushing yourself to meet impossibly high standards—at work, in school, in relationships, even in healing. Whether you’re climbing the ladder in your career or pushing through another semester, it still never quite feels like enough. The voice in your head won’t let up: Try harder. Do more. Don’t mess up.
You're burned out and overwhelmed, yet you keep going. Because you were raised to be strong. To be productive. To hold it all together.
But lately, the cracks are harder to ignore. Maybe the anxiety has become more intense—panic attacks catching you off guard. Or maybe you’ve just been feeling numb. Hopeless. Disconnected from yourself, from others, and from any sense of joy.
It’s not just about stress anymore. It’s about survival. And something deep inside you knows: this isn’t sustainable.
If This Is You, You’re Not Alone—And You Deserve Real Support
You’ve been carrying so much for so long—and it’s starting to take a toll. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally overwhelmed, burned out, isolated, and unsure of how to move forward. They’re tired of feeling like they have to keep it all together, even when they’re barely hanging on.
You might recognize yourself in some of this:
You feel like you're too much and not enough all at once.
You struggle with perfectionism, tying your worth to how much you achieve or produce.
Anxiety and panic have started creeping in, and it feels harder and harder to calm your nervous system.
You’re exhausted and even blame yourself for being lazy—but the truth is, you’ve hit a wall. You’ve been running on empty, and you really couldn’t do it anymore.
You feel disconnected from your body, your emotions, or your sense of self.
Family roles, cultural dynamics, and intergenerational patterns weigh on your relationships.
You long for a sense of belonging—but often feel like you’re always on the outside looking in.
Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship stress, burnout, or feeling stuck, therapy can offer a space to be fully seen. You don’t need to perform or fix yourself to belong here.
You Can Begin to Feel Like You Again
Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new—it means coming home to yourself.
You can feel more connected, more grounded, and more hopeful. You can learn to trust your feelings instead of judging them. You can stop striving to be perfect, and start allowing yourself to be whole.
There is nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken. You’re human—and you deserve support that honors your wholeness.
What It's Like to Work With Me
Therapy with me is gentle, collaborative, and deeply human. I offer a space rooted in warmth, presence, and curiosity—where you don’t have to perform, fix, or prove anything.
I bring a calm and compassionate energy into the room, inviting emotional safety, reflection, and authenticity. I don’t believe in quick fixes or pathologizing your experience. Instead, we’ll move at your pace, with tenderness and respect for your story.
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, relational care—and rooted in anti-oppression, decolonization, and social justice. Together, we’ll explore the connections between your inner world and the systems that shape it.
I’m Here to Walk With You—Not Just As a Therapist, But as a Fellow Human
I’m Tsuki, I’m a Taiwanese Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Schaumburg IL, offering online therapy for adults across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Massachusetts.
Many of the people I work with identify as BIPOC, neurodivergent, GSRD (Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diverse), migrants, immigrants, or children of immigrants—people whose stories don’t fit neatly into a box.
As a therapist based in Schaumburg IL providing online care, I honor the full complexity of who you are and the many layers of your lived experience. Together, we’ll explore how your past has shaped your present—and what it means to reclaim your future on your own terms.
