Dr. Stephanie Chan is a double board-certified child/adolescent and adult psychiatrist. She empathically listens and thoroughly assesses from biological, psychological, social, and cultural lenses, for the most accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. She believes strongly that the success of treatment comes from collaboration between provider and patient, emphasizing on open communication and psychoeducation throughout the treatment process. Her approach involves various therapy modalities (including CBT, DBT-informed, mindfulness), medication management when appropriate, or a combination of both.
In addition to being trained in management of various mood and anxiety disorders like depression, bipolar, generalized anxiety, her specializations include young/early career adults, women’s mental health (incl. perinatal, post-partum), childhood mood and anxiety disorders, and trauma/PTSD.
Dr. Chan is the current Medical Director of KYCC outpatient substance use clinic, and volunteer faculty at Harbor-UCLA supervising child psychiatry fellows. She was the Chief Medical Director of LifeStance Health-California, and Medical Director of Crossroads Institute. Her extensive experiences in various sectors will help you get the best care you deserve.
