Sylvia ChenClinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW (she, her)

About

I work with women of color, children of immigrants, and queer folks looking to navigate anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, racial/cultural identity exploration, and self-esteem issues. The clients I work with are seeking out support on healing generational wounds, developing coping skills to effectively manage stressors, and processing/healing emotional pain from early experiences through re-parenting. I work with folks who are hard on themselves to develop more self-compassion. I understand what feels supportive for one person may not work for another, so I collaborate with folks creatively and holistically. My therapeutic approach centers you and your experiences. I integrate body-based interventions to build skills to soothe oneself and live a more nourishing life. I use interactive, sensory forms of processing like art and mindfulness meditations to help you access and express thoughts and emotions that may not have felt safe to express in other spaces.
