Do you feel overwhelmed? Hopeless? Scared? Stuck? Do you feel like your world is spinning out of control? Are you taking care of a family member with a disability or illness? Do you wish the chaos would stop? What would it be like to not feel that way? Sometimes past hurts affect present relationships. Sometimes what you know in your head doesn't match what you feel in your heart. Sometimes multiple stressors can overwhelm you. And sometimes we just need a tune-up for our lives.

Many of us struggle with our mental health. Some of us have depression, others struggle with anxiety, many suffer with other diagnoses.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience in providing therapeutic counseling in end-of-life situations that include retirement, hospice settings, and loss situations.

I am passionate about helping adults find joy and meaning in their lives. Depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, and grief are all life experiences that can keep us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the true experiences we desire. As we work together on these issues, I hope to help you recognize your own inner strength that can help you through these challenges to find a sense of peace, personal growth, resilience, and joy.

Friends and family are great resource. They care about you and are often so uneasy with seeing you upset that it's difficult for them to help you address the hard areas in life. Because they don't want to see you unhappy, they often tell you 'want' to hear when a good therapist will help you discover what you need to hear. Whether it be situational (relational issues, job-loss, unexpected death) or something more long-term like trauma, addiction, depression and anxiety. Investing time with a licensed therapist can help. You are stronger and more resilient than you realize and I look forward to working with you.

For me it comes down to living POWERFULLY by accepting full responsibility for our lives. In that comes freedom. Freedom from addiction and compulsion. Freedom from self hate. Freedom from toxic relationships. Freedom to "respond" rather than "react". Freedom to live in accordance with our OWN values such that, at the end of the day, we're good with ourselves. I'm inspired by such COURAGE on a regular basis. We've all got "stuff". At some point, the question is, "what're we gonna DO about it?" It's a great privilege to do this work. Note: I am not in a position to provide crisis services.

The wounds that we suffer from are often amplified by the lack of a safe space to share our experiences and ask for support. Having experienced various life challenges, I noticed these safe spaces were difficult to find. Offering this support for others is what I value most.

I offer counseling for individuals and couples. Relationships and behavioral issues are my specialties. I have specialized training in working with couples as well as with individuals with Autism and ADHD. I use a variety of types of therapy to help my clients achieve their goals.

Are you bothered by constant worry, fear, nervousness or anxiety? Feeling down, depressed, hopeless or like life is always going wrong? Having difficulty focusing or concentrating and feeling like you are always on the move? Is procrastinating or always putting things off until the last minute something you struggle with?

I can help you better understand how you can change behaviors and live a better life, even with these thoughts and feelings.

The majority of life can feel crappy, incomplete, and disconnected. You’re doing things you know are sabotaging your mental wellness, and yet cannot figure out how to have the energy and focus to troubleshoot new ways of coping. Who are you? What do you want out of life? What’s your purpose? I’ll bet you’ve also had therapists who loaded your sessions with their own personal issues, too much academic jargon or simply didn’t make you feel heard. In my experiences with clients, therapy has the best outcomes when you are the climber of the treacherous mountain of life, and I am simply a humble mountain guide.

I know finding a good therapist can be challenging. Without a direct referral, you may feel you don't have a clear direction. Since 1987 I have helped others overcome challenges in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life. Here is one client's experience ... "I needed help, hope and healing ... Dr. Steven Chen's congenial manner and professional expertise created an atmosphere that assisted my healing and wholeness."
