Jian Han

• I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 24 years of experience, serving at different mental health treatment settings in New York City, including acute care, outpatient care, crisis intervention hotline and school outreach.
• I have worked at the outpatient clinic of South Beach Psychiatric Center for over 21 years, providing treatment for those with severe mental illness.
• I offer therapy to those who struggle with a variety of pain and hardships, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, life transition, and relational conflicts.
• With my compassion, my intensive expertise, my bilingual Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) and bicultural background, I am highly specialized in working with Chinese-speaking population in the community. I understand your distinct challenges that most of the Chinese immigrants and their second generation face.
• I believe that each client is a unique individual, with their innate capacity for healing, and potential for growth. My role is to develop a secure and trustful therapeutic alliance, which can help you tap into your inner strengths, resilience and wisdom to cope and navigate through these challenges in life.

My therapeutic approach is holistic, collaborative and strengths-based, integrating different frameworks in my counseling, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, (DBT), Trauma-Informed Therapy, Culturally Sensitive Therapy and psychodynamic and etc.

I always start with a gentle and warm introductory session, where you can share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I seek to create a safe, confidential and comfortable treatment space for you. From here, we’ll work together in the sessions that can help you navigate through the challenges and get back on track to fulfill your goals.
