Professional statement

Jeannie Chan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Brooklyn, New York. She specializes in helping children under 12 and their parents navigate challenges like anxiety and behavioral/academic struggles. She also provides parents with concrete skills training and therapy for struggles related to attachment/bonding and other parenting issues. Jeannie extends her expertise to adults grappling with relationship issues rooted in unresolved childhood conflicts.

Dedicated to guiding clients through life's milestones and unexpected challenges, Jeannie is trained in attachment-based therapy and often integrates cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques. With children, Jeannie uses creative and play therapy techniques while also relying on strong partnership with parents and caregivers. With adults, Jeannie may use a more direct approach but her style is eclectic, tailored to each client's unique needs, and grounded in strengths-based, trauma-informed, and culturally affirming practices. With patience, compassion, and a sense of humor, Jeannie strives to create a supportive environment for growth and healing.

Jeannie holds a Master of Social Work degree from New York University and has spent her career working with children and families. Her background as an early childhood educator also deeply influences her understanding of child mental health and family dynamics.


Message to clients

If you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step toward healing and growth — reaching out. So welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

Because life is hard. If it feels like you're in over your head, you're not alone. If it feels like your child is dealing with an unbelievable amount of pressure - more than you've ever faced as a kid! - or like you're stumbling around repeating the same patterns from childhood you thought you were "over", or something deep inside you keeps getting in the way of meaningful relationships, I promise you - you're not alone. And I can help.

I specialize in attachment-related issues, anxiety, and parenting. If you're a parent of a child under 12 dealing with anxiety and challenging behaviors, or you're looking to strengthen parenting skills yourself, or perhaps you're interested in exploring your own childhood and the ways you were parented so you can build a stronger relationship with your children, I am here for you. I also connect and work well with adults who have anxiety and trouble with connection and intimacy, offering a path to healthier ways of coping and thinking, self-acceptance, love, and more fulfilling relationships.

I aim to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you can experience growth, healing, and self-improvement. Whether you're seeking support for your child or yourself, my goal is to help you face life's challenges with confidence and competence.
