Jo Chen is a bilingual therapist (English and Mandarin) with experience supporting adults, young adults, and seniors through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She is passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where clients from diverse cultural and lived backgrounds feel understood and empowered.

Jo specializes in working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic pain, and significant life transitions. She has a particular focus on supporting Asian/Asian American communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, immigrants, and international students. By honoring each client’s unique story and cultural context, Jo tailors therapy to meet personal goals while fostering resilience and growth.

Her approach is integrative, blending trauma-focused and evidence-based methods. Jo is trained in Lifespan Integration (LI), a gentle mind-body trauma therapy that supports emotional regulation, attachment repair, and core self-development. She also incorporates skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to provide clients with concrete tools for managing stress, improving communication, and cultivating self-confidence. Jo’s therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented, with a steady focus on both healing and practical change.

Jo earned her clinical training and professional experience working across diverse communities, with a commitment to trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and strength-based care. She values creating an environment where clients can safely explore their experiences, gain new perspectives, and move toward lives that feel more connected and fulfilling.

“I believe therapy is a process of building safety, clarity, and connection. My role is to listen with care, offer steady guidance, and walk alongside you as you strengthen your sense of self, heal from past wounds, and create meaningful change in your life.”
