Annette Chan, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Annette! I’m Annette Chan, LCSW, a Chinese American born and raised in the SF Bay Area. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. I served in the US Peace Corps in West Africa, focusing on water and sanitation development. I also worked in anti-human trafficking efforts in Cambodia. My approach I work with individuals interested in uncovering patterns they want to change. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care. I utilize evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Family Systems approach, and Solution-Focused brief therapy. I am also interested in learning more about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to incorporate it into my skill set. My focus I have a wide range of experience in community mental health, case management, inpatient psychiatric care, and individual and group therapy. I have worked with individuals from diverse socioeconomic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, across different life stages and transitions. I am most comfortable supporting those facing challenges related to depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, grief and loss, substance use and addiction, marital strife and infidelity, and caregivers. My communication style I collaborate with clients to set their own treatment goals. I aim to provide a supportive and therapeutic space that fosters insight and growth. There are no taboo subjects and no wrong or right questions. I strive to create a safe space where you can explore with me what brings you to seek help. My journey to mental healthcare I sought therapy myself when I faced circumstances I couldn’t handle alone. I understand the value and significance of a therapeutic relationship with a trained professional. My interest in becoming a mental health therapist grew while living abroad in Cambodia, where I saw a lack of available services for those seeking treatment.
