Grace Chen

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
Accepting clients Last Updated 0 days ago

Grace’s approach is rooted in empathy, kindness, and understanding. She holds a nonjudgmental and collaborative space for clients to courageously explore the intricate nuances of their unique experiences and cultivate a deep sense of self-compassion and acceptance. By navigating these inner landscapes, clients can identify patterns, discover inherent strengths, and build a more authentic life. Grace specializes in working with individuals struggling with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment issues, low self-esteem, and dating and relationship challenges. She is passionate about supporting those who identify as “outsiders,” artists, and individuals navigating multicultural experiences and identity exploration.

Grace has completed specialized training in the following modalities: Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Focused EMDR, AEDP, IFS, ACT, EFT, DBT, Lifespan Integration, and Expressive Arts Facilitation. She integrates these approaches in a way that is tailored to each client's unique needs and preferences. She holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Columbia University and a Master’s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

You might have had a bad break-up, lost a friend or loved one, or are struggling to cope with daily life, seeking greater insight into changing patterns or navigating a confusing time. Perhaps you carry the weight of untold stories and unfulfilled dreams, buried beneath years of struggle, or move through life feeling fundamentally different, flawed, or alone. You may wonder, “When can I finally breathe easier?” Grace sees you, and she is here to support you as you navigate the unknowns of yourself and your life. Because each person is different, psychotherapy is an individual, unique process.

In addition to MA, Grace is also licensed in New Jersey, New York, and can see clients residing in Pennsylvania. She also works in our European office. She offers services in English and Mandarin.
