Transitions can be hard, whether they are expected or not! Evolving from child to adolescent/teen, high school to college, and from college to “adulthood” can bring about changes in mood and feelings, as well as shifts in the family dynamics. Whether you are a parent struggling to communicate better with your child/teen, an older child/teen trying to navigate your burgeoning independence, or an emerging adult who is confused and overwhelmed by life, my hope is to provide a space to gain clarity, peace, and a sense of relief.
I am a straightforward and upfront therapist who can provide the space and time to work towards peace of mind, better communication with yourself and others, and feeling more like yourself. I like to balance the space for exploring emotional experiences with implementing practical solutions.
I would love to meet with you, your child/teen, or you and your partner via phone or video for a 15 minute consult (free) to see if my style and areas of expertise are a good fit for you. Please call, or better yet, email me so we can schedule a time together.

Dr. Chen is down to earth and has a wonderful sense of humor. She's so easy to talk to and genuinely cares. If you're looking for a highly skilled, well-rounded therapist who quickly gets to the heart of the matter, look no further. Highly recommend.

The approach I use with each client will differ depending on what will fit their needs and presenting concerns. The first few sessions will be spent exploring the concern and getting to know you; I will collaborate with you to create a treatment plan and set goals. I always welcome feedback about what is working and what might not be working for you.
