Getting to know Wai ying Chan
*After booking, you will receive a link via Canvas to set up your patient portal. Setting up your patient portal is required to complete your appointment.*
I specialize in treating depression and anxiety, with a focus on individuals navigating family conflict, intergenerational trauma, and the unique stressors that can come with immigrant and international backgrounds. These experiences can shape how people view themselves, relate to others, and manage stress, often contributing to feelings of overwhelm, guilt, or emotional strain.
Therapy helps by creating space to understand these patterns and experiences better, while also building practical tools to manage symptoms. It can support individuals in setting boundaries, improving communication, and developing healthier ways of coping. When combined with appropriate medication management, this approach can lead to more stability and an improved sense of control in daily life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am passionate about mental health because I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood. I strive to provide compassionate, culturally sensitive care that meets individuals where they are, while supporting them in building insight, resilience, and meaningful change in their lives.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I take a nonjudgmental, open-minded, and collaborative approach to care. I listen attentively and create space for patients to express themselves freely while treating the whole person.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered, compassionate, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based practices such as motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help patients develop practical skills, overcome challenges, and achieve their personal goals.
