Getting to know Simon Chan

I ONLY SEE INDIVIDUALS, I DON'T SEE COUPLES. PLEASE COMPLETE ALL PAPERWORK, UPLOAD ID CARD ON ZOCDOC PLUS HAVE AN AVAILABLE CREDIT CARD TO BE PUT ON FILE FOR THE PURPOSE OF CHARGING THE FULL SESSION FEE IF YOU NO-SHOW OR LATE CANCEL (LESS THAN 24 HRS FROM THE APPT TIME). ONCE YOU BOOK THE APPOINTMENT, PLEASE BE EXPECTING A CALL FROM ME TO BOTH INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU AND TO OBTAIN YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO. I work with men who are struggling with pornography use and the impact it has on their lives, relationships, and sense of self. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore patterns, understand triggers, and develop strategies to regain control. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with compassion and understanding. I know that porn addiction can bring shame, guilt, and isolation, and I aim to help you navigate these challenges while building healthier habits and more fulfilling connections.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In therapy, we’ll work together to: Identify triggers and underlying emotional or relational issues Reduce compulsive behavior and regain self-control Improve relationships and communication Develop healthy coping strategies and a sense of self-compassion

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My combat experience as a US ARMY medic in Iraq confirmed my purpose, inspiring me to serve others in a meaningful way. Struggling with porn can leave you feeling stuck, ashamed, or isolated—but you don't have to face it alone. I help men understand the patterns behind compulsive porn use, rebuild self-control, and create lasting change.

    Simon is great, very professional. I’ve retained a lot of useful techniques so far from him that help my symptoms.

    Simon has been a fantastic therapist for now close to a year. Over the course of our sessions, I’ve seen a profound improvement in my ability to manage my emotions and respond to challenges with more clarity and balance. One of the most impactful aspects of our work together has been uncovering and working through long-held limiting beliefs that I didn’t even realize were shaping so much of my life.

    Simon has been excellent. He has shown characteristics of an experienced mental health professional through his attentiveness, encouragement of deeper thought and consideration of my affairs, his peronability and relatablitlity which gives me the comfort that my words are being considered and listened to, and most of all, his compassion and empathy that he consistently assures me of and shows through his transparent communication. I would highly encourage anyone in need of a mental health and wellness professional to consider Simon as their primary consideration.
    I have seen Simon weekly for the last year, and he has helped me with overcoming addictions, dealing with anxiety, learning to recognize and process emotions, and communication skills. He holds me accountable, while also being compassionate and making me comfortable being my authentic self. He has helped me learn to understand and love myself. His knowledge and perspective has taught me to have more empathy and better relationships with the people in my life. I am so grateful for having him as my therapist.
    Simon was extremely patient with me and truly took the time to understand me. Some of the things I learned from Simon during our sessions together will last me a lifetime.
    I recently did 6 weeks of therapy with Simon not only did I feel like I had a real support system in play but he's also a veteran with a pretty tragic and inspirational story I just wanted to say he helped me to relax and breath and have me allot of tools to confront my depression and anger he really gives u the feeling of a friend not a therapist i would recommend this man to anybody who has low self esteem depression or anyone who just needs to get something of thier chest after every session I truly felt inspired to be a better husband father and man thank you Simon u helped me more then u know
    I've been working with Simon for about a year. It has helped tremendously and I can tell that I've grown so much since moving to him from another therapist. He's so professional and a great listener. He has tailored our sessions to fit me while also continuing to challenge me in ways that I need.
    My husband and I have worked with Simon for two years now and are very grateful for the wisdom he brings in to our sessions. He is an attentive and patient listener, giving us the necessary tools in and out of session to improve our communication skills. He is also incredibly caring and compassionate when mediating sensitive conversations. He allows us to move through difficult topics at our own pace, helping us both feel acknowledged. I am also personally impressed (and happy) that he pursues further education in his specialties to deepen his understanding in his areas of expertise. He clearly has been given a gift in this field, and is a blessing!
    My time with Simon has been very helpful. He most importantly offers a very judgement free zone. He also offers a lot of helpful insight, different perspectives and various ways to approach things. Very professional, but also incredibly human.

    I have been working with Simon and will continue to do so. Simon makes me feel that he is nonjudgmental and accepting of me and that he listens and cares. I feel supported and accepted even when we disagree or am respectfully challenged. Thanks Simon for wanting to help people!!!
    You know Simon is a good therapist when you come back. I had switched companies/insurances but went out of my way to search for Simon. I think what differentiates Simon is his genuine passion and curiosity for therapy. There are quite a few therapists I've talked with who very obviously are there to pay the bills, and not truly listen. As such, you feel a honest and pure connection with Simon, making the sessions worth the time.
    I cannot recommend Simon highly enough! From the very first session, it was clear that he is an exceptional therapist.? Patient and Adaptable: One of the things I appreciate most about Simon is his patience. He never rushes me and allows me to express my thoughts and feelings fully. When a particular technique isn't resonating, he seamlessly adjusts his approach to find what works best for me. Simon is an outstanding listener, each session feels tailored to my needs and goals, and is always supportive and encouraging. He takes the time to understand my unique situation and adapts his methods accordingly. Thanks to Simon, I have made significant improvements in my mental health and overall well-being. If you're looking for a therapist who is patient, adaptable, and a great listener, I highly recommend Simon. He truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help them achieve their goals.
