I am Dr. Yun Chen, a licensed clinical psychologist providing evidence-based psychotherapy and coaching for individuals and couples.

Clinical Approach & Background

I practice evidence-based psychotherapy, with particular emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), while integrating skills from other schools of psychology, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I also have extensive experience working with couples. In particular, I practice cognitive behavioral couple therapy (CBCT) and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to help couples strengthen their relationships when they are under stress.

I grew up in Shanghai, China, and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. I earned my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill and completed my predoctoral internship at Montefiore Medical Center / Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I served as a front-line mental health provider, supporting patients, families, healthcare workers, and communities during a time of profound uncertainty.
