About me

Hello, I’m Chung Pham, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I have had the privilege of working with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including: Depression, anxiety, grief & loss, trauma (PTSD) Anger and stress management Relationship issues (individual-focused) Substance use challenges Parenting support and special needs care Career challenges and life transitions OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), schizophrenia, and more (Please note: I currently do not provide couple or family therapy. I also refer clients to their physicians for any verification letters.) My approach is collaborative and strength-based. I believe therapy works best when we partner together to identify your unique strengths and build upon them to navigate life’s challenges. I also recognize that true well-being is shaped by many areas of life—physical health, social support, work or school, and even spirituality or faith. I help clients explore and challenge unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and patterns so they can make meaningful changes. I believe that with hope, support, and courage, growth is always possible. Taking the first step toward change takes courage. If you feel ready, I would be honored to walk this journey with you. 📞 Call: +1- 646-687-9932 💻 Sessions: Virtual appointments available

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, I will briefly introduce myself and explain how therapy works, including confidentiality, its limits, and mandatory reporting requirements. Most of the time will be focused on you—sharing your concerns, needs, and goals. Together, we will begin exploring your experiences so you can feel heard, understood, and supported. My goal is for you to leave the session with a sense of hope, insight, and the reassurance that you are in a safe and accepting space.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I have helped many clients better understand their symptoms and develop practical strategies to manage them, so they can function more effectively in daily life. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), PTSD and past trauma, as well as anger and stress management. I also support clients with relationship and communication difficulties, parenting skills, and personal growth. By drawing on evidence-based techniques and tailoring them to each individual, I focus on helping clients make meaningful, lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are adults seeking practical, compassionate therapy for anxiety, depression, anger management, OCD, PTSD and past trauma, relationship/communication difficulties, and parenting concerns. I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach that addresses the whole person—mental health, physical health, support systems, work/school, and spirituality—so change is sustainable. Together we clarify goals, learn evidence-informed coping strategies, and replace unhelpful thoughts and patterns with healthier alternatives. (Please note: I currently do not provide couples or family therapy.)
