Wendy Chan, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Wendy!

I am so glad you are taking this step for yourself. Therapy is a great way to help you begin feeling better and living more fully.

My focus

If you have been struggling with anxiety, mood changes, sleep problems, behaviors that set you back, relationship problems, apathy, or feeling stagnant, this is a great place to start. Together, we will build coping skills to manage uncomfortable symptoms, improve your confidence, and reach your goals.

My approach

My style is collaborative. I encourage self-exploration and challenge you to restructure thoughts and behaviors to reach your goals and gain insight into blind spots that may be holding you back. I provide effective coping strategies for managing difficult emotions and communication.

My communication style

I work to ensure clear, open, and honest communication and facilitate a judgment-free environment where you can openly share and provide feedback so that you get what you need from each session. I am direct and always work to ensure you feel safe, supported, and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe that the vast majority of people are doing the best they can with the skills they currently have. I also believe strongly in the power to change and improve while still holding space for validation and reflection. Seeing clients reach their goals and develop improved coping.

My goals for you

I believe you should be empowered to develop goals that make sense for yourself. Together, we can ensure your goals are appropriate for where you are at and flexible enough to adapt as needed. You can set the pace and timeline, and we will check in each session.

Our first session

Our first session will be focused on getting to know one another, finding out what your current goals are, and what experiences made you want to seek therapy. It is a good time to discuss how you are currently feeling and what concerns or questions you may have about the therapeutic process.
