Oftentimes symptoms of anxiety, trauma, and traits of living with ADHD or Autism can overlap, making it difficult to know how to move forward from the hurt you're experiencing.
You are enough, you belong, and you matter! Specializing in anxiety, trauma, low self-worth & shame, and neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism), I offer a strength-based approach and am LGBTQIA+ affirming. Together we will find the therapeutic practices that work best for you, in a judgment-free space, as you foster your own personal strength and growth.

I’m a down‑to‑earth, laid‑back Psychologist who is an expert in trauma, dissociation, anxiety, depression, and psychological testing. Clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to and that our sessions feel relaxed, safe, and grounded. My goal is to help you untangle the anxiety, trauma, or confusion you’re carrying and move toward clarity and hope.
I’m a member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation and have have given numerous professional talks and trainings on trauma and dissociation treatment.

Do you find yourself constantly masking parts of who you are just to get through the day? Are you trying to meet expectations that feel unreachable and that make you feel like you weren’t built for this? Does it feel like you are always “on”, leading to exhaustion from just existing? These can all lead to feeling stuck and disconnected, feeling like no one really can see you for who you are. Doing all that alone is impossible, but asking for help seems just as impossible.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in day treatment and residential programs for children and adolescents at Valley Behavioral Health and the Huntsman Mental Health Institute at the University of Utah. These roles have given me a deep understanding of the challenges young people face and the importance of providing tailored, compassionate care.

I employ an inclusive and affirming approach for people who are neurodivergent and disabled.
Struggling with anxiety, burnout, depression, or trauma can make it hard to see your worth, but change is possible. I help people reconnect with themselves and build fulfilling lives, especially those impacted by stigma around mental health or neurodivergence. I enjoy working with clients who feel therapy hasn’t worked in the past, helping them find approaches that actually fit and make a difference.

Somewhere along the way, you may have started to feel like you lost a part of yourself. You are taking care of everything and everyone else, but you feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, and not quite like yourself anymore.
As a mother of six, I understand how easy it is to lose yourself while taking care of everyone else. What others may see as “normal stress” can build over time and start to affect your relationships, your energy, and how you feel day to day.

I love to help clients as they navigate hard things like parenting, depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD, cPTSD), neurodivergence ( ASD, ADHD), school performance and behavior issues, ODD, work performance issues and relationships issues.
If you've ever wondered why you do certain things and want to change them or do them better...I can help with that! Together, we can develop the tools you need to get to know yourself and figure out how all the different parts of your personality can work together to create permanent positive change. You want to quit beating yourself up and move forward, and I want to help you do it! You can learn to be more compassionate, be more kind, and relate better with others AND yourself! Therapy is all about learning to be the best version of yourself, which frees you see the best version of others, too.

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."

I work with individuals or couples experiencing a faith transition, exploring their identity, managing neurodivergency, or going through a relationship change. They may feel uncertain about their current state and the direction they are heading. They might identify as LGBTQIA+, be questioning long-held beliefs, or be dealing with feelings of grief, anxiety, or a desire for greater clarity and self-trust. They seek a supportive and affirming environment where they can process change, align their values with their lives, and develop authentic relationships without judgment or pressure.

You’ve built a life that looks successful from the outside, so why does it feel so heavy on the inside? Most of my clients are smart, driven, and deeply capable entrepreneurs, high performers, and helpers. At some point, the pressure piles up, the pace stops working, and you realize you’re running on fumes. Maybe you’re burnt out, stuck in imposter syndrome, navigating a big transition, or noticing old trauma resurfacing. None of this means you’re failing. It means you’re human, and you’ve been carrying more than anyone should have to carry alone.

I’m a transmasculine, nonbinary therapist who works with people navigating identity, belonging and the impact of systems that haven’t always made room for them. I’m especially passionate about supporting folks who have felt “othered” by family, culture, religion, or community, whether related to gender, sexuality, relationship structures (including ENM and polyamory), neurodivergence, or simply not fitting into expected boxes. I can also provide letters of support for gender-affirming medical care when that feels helpful in your journey.

We also use Neurofeedback to treat diverse emotional, psychological, and cognitive problems such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, brain injury, learning disorders, PTSD, sleep disorders, and addiction.
The human mind can get stuck in negative emotions, beliefs, and other patterns which make it feel impossible to move forward in life. I specialize in interventions (particularly EMDR, ACT, hyponsis, and BWRT) that enable the mind to let release old patterns quickly and often permanently. I specialize in treating trauma and anxiety. But these same interventions work wonders with addictions, depression, and other serious problems.
