About

James Liu, PhD is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and anxiety management. He holds a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and has over 14 years of experience working with adults experiencing anxiety disorders, depression, and chronic stress.

James brings both clinical expertise and a commitment to accessible science communication to his writing. At Health Beyond Age, he leads the Mental Wellness content team, authoring evidence-based articles on anxiety, sleep, stress, brain health, and psychological wellbeing.

His work draws directly on his clinical experience and the current psychological research literature, ensuring every article is both accurate and actionable for general readers.

Mental health is not a luxury or a last resort. It is the foundation of every other health goal you have. I write to help people understand that — clearly, honestly, and without the fluff.
