Florence Lui, PhD
Psychologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Psychologist
As a psychologist and behavioral scientist on the Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities Service and a member of the Psychotherapy Laboratory at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I have focused my research on developing interventions to reduce disparities in the psychosocial outcomes of patients with cancer who are not proficient in the English language. Some studies that I am currently conducting explore adapting a meaning-centered counseling approach for Chinese patients with advanced cancer and investigating the use of interpreters in counseling for limited-English patients with cancer.
I am a member of the American Psychological Association (Division 38, Society for Health Psychology and Division 45, Society for the Psychological Study of Culture, Ethnicity, and Race), the Society of Behavioral Medicine, and the Asian American Psychological Association.
A psychologist has special training in therapy to help people with mental and behavioral health issues.
