Getting to know Synthia Chen

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with clients in areas of anxiety, depression, cultural identity issues, vocational development, and behavioral challenges. I strive to foster a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental experience, empowering clients to navigate toward their goals. I have previous experience working together with clients in an outpatient clinic to pursue their goals and needs. I am fluent in English and have conversational fluency in Chinese (Cantonese).

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach focuses on fostering growth, empathy, and healing by integrating tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Multicultural/Culturally-informed Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I integrate mindfulness techniques to encourage holistic healing and self-discovery. Each session is tailored to meet my clients where they are at, collaborating with them to help learn strategies to promote growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I am committed to providing a safe, culturally sensitive, and supportive environment throughout my sessions. My approach fosters a collaborative and non-judgmental space where clients can openly share their concerns and goals. We will explore your experiences to build compassion, strengthen resilience, and promote a deeper reconnection with your sense of self. I offer a 15-minute consultation call to ensure a good fit for our therapeutic relationship.
