Hui-Min Chen

My clinical work is informed by over two decades of professional training and practice in both Taiwan and the United States. I hold a bachelor’s degree in social work from Taiwan and a master’s degree in psychology from the U.S., and I am licensed as a mental health professional in both countries.

I offer therapy in multiple languages, including English, Mandarin Chinese, and Taiwanese (Hokkien), and I am attentive to each client’s language preferences and cultural background. This cross-cultural and multilingual foundation allows me to work sensitively with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, immigration-related stress, and major life transitions.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, and I strive to offer a therapeutic relationship that feels steady, compassionate, and grounded in each client’s cultural and personal context.

我的臨床工作建立於超過二十年的專業訓練與實務經驗之上,歷程橫跨臺灣與美國。我在臺灣取得社會工作學士學位,並於美國完成心理學碩士訓練,且同時持有臺灣與美國的心理健康相關專業證照。

我可使用多種語言進行治療與溝通,包括英語、國語(普通話)與台語(閩南語),並重視每位來談者的語言偏好與文化背景。這樣的跨文化與多語言基礎,使我能更細緻地陪伴個人、伴侶與家庭,面對創傷、失落與哀傷、焦慮、移民相關壓力,以及人生重要轉折。

在治療中,我採取整合性且以創傷知情為核心的取向,致力於建立一段穩定、具同理心,並根植於來談者文化與個人生命脈絡中的治療關係。

Building on my cross-cultural clinical background, I offer a warm, client-centered approach to therapy grounded in trauma-informed care. I integrate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Satir Model, and Motivational Interviewing to support clients in gently processing past experiences, reducing emotional overwhelm, and strengthening their sense of readiness for change.

I value collaboration and respect each client’s pace. My goal is to foster greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, and more fulfilling relationships within a therapeutic space that feels safe, supportive, and culturally responsive.

延續我橫跨臺灣與美國的臨床歷程與跨文化經驗,我以溫暖、以來談者為中心的方式進行治療,並以創傷知情照護為核心。在治療過程中,我整合運用 EMDR 動眼治療、認知行為治療(CBT)、薩提爾模式,以及動機式晤談,協助來談者溫柔地整理過往經驗,減緩情緒上的壓力與負荷,並在尊重個人步調的前提下,逐步培養面對改變的準備與力量。

我重視治療中的合作關係,期待在一個安全、被支持、且具文化敏感度的空間中,陪伴來談者深化自我理解、培養情緒的穩定與內在韌性,並建立更真實且令人滿足的人際關係。

Reaching out for therapy often takes a great deal of courage—especially if you are meeting a new therapist, or if you have tried therapy before and still feel stuck. Choosing to begin therapy does not mean that something is wrong with you; it means you are taking a meaningful step toward caring for yourself and the relationships that matter to you.

I offer a warm, compassionate space where you are invited to move at your own pace and do not have to figure things out on your own. In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment. We will talk together about what brings you in, what you are hoping for, and any concerns or questions you may have, always guided by what feels safe and comfortable for you.

There is no pressure to share more than you are ready to. Our initial work is about building a sense of safety and connection, and beginning to shape a thoughtful, collaborative path forward that honors your strengths, values, and readiness for change.

主動尋求心理諮商,對許多人而言是一件需要很大勇氣的事,特別是當你即將與一位新的治療師見面,或過去曾接受諮商卻仍感到停滯不前。踏出這一步,並不代表你有什麼問題,而是你正在真誠地為自己,以及對你而言重要的人際關係,付出關心與照顧。

我提供一個溫暖、具同理心且安全的空間,邀請你以自己的步調前進,不需要獨自承擔,也不必急著把一切弄清楚。在第一次會談中,你可以期待一個平靜、被接納且不帶評價的環境。我們會一起談談促使你前來的原因、你對諮商的期待,以及此刻任何你在意或感到困惑的事情,整個過程都會依照你覺得安全與舒適的節奏進行。

你不需要分享超出自己準備好的內容。初期的會談重點在於建立安全感與信任,並共同開始勾勒一條以你的優勢、價值與準備程度為基礎,能支持你穩定前進的治療方向。
