Yu-Kang Chen, PH.D
Bio
Seeking therapy should never be a stigmatizing experience – you are making a very important first step! You do not have to be stuck in a negative cycle of stress coming from family dynamics, relationships, career challenges, and physical/mental health issues. No one has to feel completely alone when navigating the storms in life. Together we can work towards moving obstacles and hope. As an immigrant and person of color, I am sensitive to your cultural background and identity. In our work together, we will carefully examine how these factors impact your life experience.
My practice is guided by psychodynamic theory with integration of humanistic principles and aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy. I have a calm demeanor and strive to create the same atmosphere in our therapeutic relationship for you to freely share your thoughts and feelings in our sessions. Depending on your presenting issues and needs, I will work collaboratively with you in the modality of short-term solution-focused treatment to long-term insight-orientated therapy.
