Grace Chen
Are you feeling overwhelmed, sad, worried, stressed out, or stuck? Are you struggling with life’s challenges or your relationships? I believe that therapy in a safe, accepting, and compassionate space allows for the self-understanding necessary for growth and healing. I work with adults and young adults (18+) to explore feelings and gain a better self-understanding, specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, race and multicultural issues, and life transitions.
First session
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic principles to better understand how your past shapes how you experience the present. Together, we can examine the link between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and identify unhelpful patterns impacting you and your relationships to solve current problems.
Strengths
Whether you are feeling unsure or excited about therapy, I will provide a safe environment where we can work together to help you grow and heal. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Anxiety can make it feel like your thoughts are running the show. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I'll help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors work together—and how small changes in one area can create meaningful improvements in the others. Over the past eight years, I've helped many clients break free from unhelpful thinking patterns, reduce anxiety, and build practical tools they can use long after therapy ends. Together, we'll create strategies that fit your life and help you move toward feeling calmer, more balanced, and more like yourself.
