Jian Tan, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jian!

I help individuals, couples, children, families, and groups navigate life's challenges in a safe, welcoming environment. I'm a skilled interpersonal communicator who facilitates meaningful conversation and encourages participation.

My focus

I can work with a variety of clients, helping them alleviate symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, grief, substance use disorder, spouse/partner relationship problems/distress, parent-child relationship problems/distress, and personality disorders. Etc.

My approach

I use an eclectic approach to maximize therapeutic outcomes, drawing from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, Logotherapy, Family Therapy, Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Child-Parent Relationship Therapy to meet your unique needs.

My communication style

I create a safe, relaxing atmosphere through attentive and engaging conversation. I hope you feel accepted, respected, validated, encouraged, supported, empowered, and at times appropriately challenged when working with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I felt called to become a counselor after volunteering and realizing how professional skills could transform outcomes. A counselor's insights showed me why good intentions alone weren't enough. I'm honored to facilitate change in my clients' lives, especially when their goals are achieved.

My goals for you

I guide you through an "AAA" process toward change: Awareness, Attitude, and Action.

Our first session

During my first session with you, we'll review several important consent items, followed by the sharing of presenting/concerning issues, discussion of therapeutic goals, assessment, coping exploration, scheduling, and other applicable topics.
