Lin Chen, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NY
I am a psychotherapist who values depth, curiosity, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the tech world, and that experience continues to inform my understanding of clients who are navigating high-pressure, fast-paced environments. I am especially drawn to working with neurodivergent clients, including those with autism and OCD tendencies, and I believe each person's experience deserves to be understood in its own context rather than reduced to a label. My approach is somatic, psychodynamic, and EMDR-informed, with attention to both the body and personal history. I work with clients who may feel that words alone are not enough, helping them build a new relationship with anxiety, triggers, and overwhelm so that life can feel calmer, more grounded, and more fully their own.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
