Getting to know Margaret Chen

Hi there, I'm Margaret! As a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University, I am committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your challenges and uncover your strengths. With a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, family systems, relationships, self-esteem, and grief, I use an integrative approach to support you on your path to healing and growth. An integrative therapist combines techniques and ideas from different types of therapy to meet the unique needs of each client. Instead of relying on just one approach, I draw from various methods depending on what works best for you. The goal of an integrated therapist is to tailor their approach to fit your specific challenges, personality, and goals. It’s a flexible and holistic way of providing care, focusing on the whole person—mind, body, and emotions. My approach Therapeutic modalities I may draw upon include psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gestalt/humanistic/person-centered, Internal Family Systems ("parts work"), somatic therapy, solution-focused, interpersonal, attachment, and existential therapy. My focus I work with individuals, couples, and families who seek meaningful change, strive to deepen their understanding of themselves, strengthen their relationships, and live a life of balance, fulfillment, and authenticity. My communication style I strive to create and cultivate a therapeutic experience shaped by a communication style that is as empowering as it is compassionate. Grounded in patience and understanding, this approach creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you are truly heard. With an attuned awareness, I tune into the subtleties of your story, fostering a connection built on trust and care. Infused with curiosity and inquisitiveness, this style gently explores the layers of your thoughts and emotions.
