Getting to know Shirley Chen

Hi, I’m Shirley, a licensed clinical social worker based in New York. I work with youth and adults who are navigating stress, transitions, identity questions, and the emotional impact of family, cultural, and societal expectations. Whether you’re beginning therapy for the first time, or returning after a break, I aim to offer a space that feels steady, thoughtful, and supportive. I see therapy as a place to slow down, make meaning of your experiences, and cultivate greater alignment between who you are, what you carry, and how you want to move through the world. I welcome your story and look forward to exploring it together.

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.
