Getting to know Peiying Chen

My name is Tina (Peiying) Chen and I'm glad you are here. You may carry parts of yourself that feel are too shameful to be seen, feel trapped in roles you never chose, or move through life under the weight of past trauma and impossible expectations. You may feel like you have to hold yourself together so tightly that there is little room to fall apart. Therapy can be like gathering scattered threads and slowly weaving them together, tracing how past experiences live in your emotions, relationships, and sense of self today. In therapy, all parts of you are welcome.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I often work with individuals navigating self-esteem struggles, high-achieving tendencies, complex family dynamics, sexual trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and multicultural identities. In addition to English, I also offer therapy in Mandarin and Cantonese.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Once you schedule an initial appointment with me, I will contact over email to confirm the day and time. I will then send you our initial paperwork for you to complete online before we meet. In our first session, you can let me know what brings you to therapy and how you hope it will help. We'll start getting a sense of whether it would be a good fit to work with each other. If we decide to continue working together, I'll suggest to meet at least weekly, so that we can have consistency in our work together. Sessions are 55 minutes long.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance

More information on payments and coverage

I am in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) PPO plans. If you have this type of plan, we will submit insurance claims directly. You might be responsible for part of the cost if you have a deductible or a copay. We will try to verify benefits before our first appointment, so that we have an idea of what to expect. When contacting me, please remember to add a photo of your insurance card. If you have a different insurance provider (not BCBS PPO), you will be responsible for our full fee each session. We will provide you a bill that you can use to seek reimbursement from your insurance company, provided that your plan has out-of-network benefits.
