Jan Chen, LMHC, MT-BC
Licensed in both psychotherapy and music therapy, I bring over a decade of experience working with diverse communities across hospitals, outpatient programs, and private practice. My trauma-informed approach blends psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to uncover underlying patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and support practical, lasting growth. Together, we work toward creating greater harmony, resilience, and connection in your life and relationships.
My Approach
In our sessions, we have the opportunity to also explore different modalities including music, visual arts, storytelling, those creative approaches serve the therapeutic goal. When there is a good match, my clients often describe our work as an efficient and transformative journey.
Additionally, I work with mental health professionals who are interested in exploring and connecting with their creative side. There are many ways to reach the same destination, and I'm privileged to be part of your unique journey.
Integrative
Psychotherapy and expressive arts are combined using both practical and insight-based approaches, with creative methods used when helpful.
Grounded
Sessions focus on understanding patterns and building tools that support emotional balance, resilience, and real-life change.
