Jingjin Chen

I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, ADHD, trauma, and major life transitions, with a particular focus on immigrants, bicultural individuals, and professionals balancing different cultural expectations. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who appear capable on the outside but internally feel anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or caught between who they are and who they feel expected to be. I offer therapy in both English and Mandarin Chinese.

Therapy with me is a space to slow down and become curious about yourself, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, relationships, and expectations that have shaped you—not to blame the past, but to understand what still serves you and what no longer does. My goal is to help you make choices that feel more grounded in who you are, rather than fear, obligation, or old ways of coping.

To support this work, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I integrate these and other approaches flexibly, tailoring our work to your unique needs, experiences, and goals.

Our first session isn't about having the right answers. It's about getting to know your story. We'll explore what's bringing you here, what you've already been carrying on your own, and what you hope might feel different. My hope is that you leave feeling understood—and a little less alone than when you walked in.
