I am open to new ideas and problem solving, through listening and exploring options. I welcome in depth conversations and always learn from my clients. Creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect is a primary goal. Setting attainable realistic goals for life. I have experience in business, schools (k-12 and higher education) and the Family Court System

My experiences include extensive training for diverse populations: Community Oriented Police, School Police officers, First Responders and Hospital security.

I have also taught coparenting classes and work with hundreds of couples in creating and implementing parenting plans. I have instructed and supervised counselors in training at both the University level and have been a hands on field instructor.

In the area of leadership, I have been president of the Pennsylvania Counseling Association, president od the board of both Circle Group Homes and the William Gladden Foundation.

I have 25 years of experience working in-patient and out-patient treatment. I have worked with individuals with general mood disorders and addiction. I also use group therapy to connect others with similar issues to enable connections that the clients may not otherwise have. I believe that my clients prefer the warm, comfortable style that I use.

I’m committed to forging meaningful connections with my clients and fostering a safe,

supportive environment where you can truly be yourself. My passion lies in guiding people of all

ages and stages through their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, helping them communicate and

navigate life’s complexities. Life is full of transitions that we aren't always prepared for. Starting a new job, living on your own, making new friends, dating, graduations, college, marriage, death, divorce, etc. These life events can come with new feelings and feeling lost. In my career as a counselor, I've worked to help people of all ages and stages navigate life's milestones and obstacles.

Together, we can start building a better sense of self and a stronger identity. Some things we may practice:

• building boundaries
• prioritizing self-care
• identifying core values and beliefs

I'm Dr. Pascual Chen, a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Clarity Psychological Services in Wexford, PA. For over a decade, I've had the privilege of walking with individuals, couples, and families through life's hardest seasons — anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and the search for meaning and direction.
