Yuen Chan(She/Her/Hers)

Yuen Chan is a bi-racial, bi-cultural therapist with locations near the Flatiron, where she see's adults, couples, adolescents, business partners, and parents. Yuen's specialties are anxiety / depression, procrastination, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and career burnout. Many of Yuen's patients also come to therapy to explore a wide range of identity issues, including sexuality and gender, but also those that surround race and difference. Yuen believes in tangible results and that action is as important as insight. It is through insight that we cultivate the courage to take action, but it is action that helps us elaborate our insight.

Yuen see's therapy as a dedicated, warm, non-judgmental space in which a person who is having trouble finding meaning or fulfillment in their life can come to talk to another human being who is trained to listen in a particular way. The focus is to help articulate complex feelings that impede a person’s growth. A lot of times people don’t know what is wrong, they just have a “feeling” that something is off. Yuen will help to excavate the storyline, by threading together common themes from the unconscious but also from our relational patterns (which really just means the way we usually relate to other important relationships). Being able to articulate one's inner experience helps provide great relief.

Yuen provides a warm, collaborative, and playful spirit within the therapeutic encounter, welcoming thoughts big and small, important and (seemingly) mundane, as being part of the puzzle that make up your inner psychic life. Attentive listening, active dialogue, radical curiosity, and detailed inquiry are the cornerstones of her practice.

As of July, Yuen will be seeing patients in person, though she is also available for remote sessions as well.
