Great to meet you! I’m honored to introduce myself as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. I am also a Certified Grief Educator and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and much of my work focuses on helping people navigate grief, trauma, life transitions, and personal growth. My goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that healing happens when people feel safe to explore their experiences and discover their strengths. My practice covers many issues, from depression and anxiety to trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, Autism, emotional dysregulation, workplace challenges, life and career transitions, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse. Additionally, I am here to support your journey of self-discovery, assisting you in your search for identity and purpose. My clients often describe me as compassionate, insightful, warm, and caring. These qualities are at the heart of my therapeutic approach. I am dedicated to creating a safe and empathetic space where you can express your concerns, explore your thoughts and emotions, and work towards solutions.

I know that it isn’t always easy deciding to see a therapist, but I’m glad you made it to my page. I’m a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and trauma. Whether you’re dealing with acute symptoms or long-standing issues, I am here to provide a safe, empathetic, and effective therapeutic environment. I view the therapeutic relationship as a shared experience, and my goals are to help you meet your goals. My approach integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Humanistic Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, and various trauma-focused interventions. This multifaceted approach allows me to tailor my strategies to best meet your needs and support you. I graduated from Columbia Univ. School of Social Work, and I am currently serving as a program coordinator at a leading NY metropolitan area medical center. I am well published in peer-reviewed academic journals, and this allows me to stay at the forefront of the latest developments in psychology to ensure that our sessions are informed by best practices.

I require a 12 SESSION MINIMUM COMMITMENT (WE WILL MEET - 1X PER WEEK FOR 3 MONTHS). Please note before calling to schedule an initial intake appointment that we will be meeting on a weekly basis one time per week for three months. Treatment is accomplished through a healthy, caring, and positive therapeutic environment. In my office/private practice I create a safe, relaxing and comfortable experience. Together we will focus on goal oriented treatment measured in a timely manner. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, and Psychotherapist with a private practice in two locations. I specialize in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, and Adjustment Issues. I have experience working with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anger Management, Socialization Skills, Domestic Violence, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD), Relationship Conflicts. INDIVIDUAL THERAPY - ONLY - (NO COUPLES). Our individual sessions will aim to increase self-awareness and help you develop insight into your mental, emotional, and relational well-being.

Welcome! College can be an exciting and overwhelming time filled with transitions, pressure, and uncertainty. Whether you're navigating academic stress, anxiety, relationships, or big life decisions, you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in working with young adults who are ready to better understand themselves, manage their emotions, and build confidence as they move through this chapter of life. My approach is down-to-earth, supportive, and tailored to meet you where you are — no pressure, just a space to be real and feel heard.

As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive space where clients feel seen, heard, and accepted. My identity and experiences have deepened my understanding of the ways culture, family dynamics, systemic barriers, and lived experiences can shape mental health. This perspective allows me to approach therapy with curiosity, humility, and respect for each client's unique story. I work primarily with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, self-worth challenges, life transitions, and stress. I am especially passionate about supporting first-generation individuals, Black and Caribbean communities, Asian Americans, and LGBTQIA+ clients, while welcoming people from all backgrounds. Many of the clients I work with appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. When working with me, you can expect a collaborative, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment. I believe therapy should move at a pace that feels comfortable and sustainable for you. Together, we will explore patterns, process difficult emotions, build coping skills, and develop greater self-understanding. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, connected to themselves, and empowered to make choices that align with their values and goals.

Welcome to Unspoken Roots Psychotherapy! My name is Edward Chan, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Unspoken Roots Psychotherapy. I specialize in supporting Asian American college students and young adults as they navigate the unique challenges that can come from balancing personal goals, family expectations, cultural values, and the pressures of academic and professional success. Many Asian American students grow up carrying messages about achievement, responsibility, sacrifice, and making their families proud. While these values can be sources of strength, they can also contribute to anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, burnout, difficulty setting boundaries, and a persistent feeling of never being "good enough." You may find yourself succeeding on paper while privately struggling with stress, loneliness, imposter syndrome, or uncertainty about who you are beyond what you accomplish. Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore these experiences without judgment. Together, we can better understand the influences that have shaped you, process the challenges you're facing, and develop practical tools to manage anxiety, build self-confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a life that feels aligned with your own values—not just the expectations placed upon you. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT, and insight-oriented therapy while remaining sensitive to the cultural, familial, and identity-related experiences that many Asian American students navigate. Whether you're struggling with academic pressure, family dynamics, relationships, career decisions, or your sense of belonging, you don't have to carry it alone. At Unspoken Roots Psychotherapy, I strive to create a space where the experiences that often go unspoken can be explored openly, helping you cultivate greater self-understanding, balance, and fulfillment as you navigate college and beyond.

My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can freely express their struggles and explore their vulnerability. Collaboratively, we will understand the underlying issues and work towards feeling better. I received my doctorate from the New School for Social Research and completed my internship at Northwell Health- LlJ- Zucker Hillside. I was previously employed at NYPD and NYU Langone. I have extensive experience working with children, adults, and geriatrics in different settings including inpatient care, partial programs, outpatient services.

I believe that therapy is a space to tell your unique story, where your lived experience will be received, honored, and validated without judgment. By diving into that story together, I can help guide you in understanding yourself and charting a course for future growth. As we walk this path together, we will work toward self-acceptance, empowerment, and joy. I support clients through a variety of challenges, such as exploring identity, navigating transitions, strengthening relationships, processing trauma, and coping with stress. As a queer, gender non-binary therapist, I am particularly passionate about providing sexuality- and gender-affirming therapy to queer and trans clients of all ages. I prioritize queer joy and gender euphoria in the therapeutic space, and strive to create a safe haven for clients to explore their identities beyond heteronormative sexuality and binary gender. My therapeutic approach is tailored to the individual client, and incorporates a variety of techniques and approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and anti-oppressive practice. My therapeutic style is goal-oriented and client-centered, and I prioritize collaboratively constructing a set of goals to bring intentionality to my work with clients. I strive to bring warmth, empathy, and patience to my work, and I encourage clients to identify and leverage their unique strengths and capabilities. My practice is informed by queer theory and critical race theory, and I strive to help clients explore how their lives have been influenced by social structures of oppression and inequality. In my free time, I love spending quality time with family and friends and finding new favorite spots to eat in my neighborhood. On the weekends, you can find me exploring Astoria Park and fawning over every dog I meet.

On the outside, it might look like you have everything together. You’re responsible, thoughtful, and trying your best to move forward in life. But inside, you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly second-guessing yourself. Maybe anxiety, overthinking, or self-criticism make it hard to trust your decisions. Many of my clients feel pressure to figure out their careers, relationships, and identity all at once. You may feel lost, burned out, or unsure of your next step, but you’re ready to understand yourself better and start building a life that actually feels right for you. I offer a warm but direct approach that blends CBT and DBT tools to help you manage anxiety, build confidence, and break unhelpful patterns. Therapy with me isn’t just about talking — it’s about learning practical skills to regulate emotions, challenge self-criticism, set boundaries, and move forward with clarity. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you're used to handling everything on your own. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can talk openly, explore what’s holding you back, and begin making meaningful changes. If you're ready to feel more grounded and confident in your life, I’d be happy to connect.

College can be one of the most exciting times in your life: but it can also bring a lot of pressure. Between classes, deadlines, part time jobs, and planning for the future, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trouble concentrating, mood swings, or just not feeling like yourself, you are not alone—and you don’t have to push through it without support. I’m a provider with extensive experience treating adults 18+ across a wide range of mental health conditions. Over the years, I’ve worked in some of New York City’s leading hospitals, including Mount Sinai’s Main Campus, Mount Sinai Beth Israel, Queens Hospital, Elmhurst Hospital, and Bronx Lebanon Hospital. I’ve provided care in emergency psychiatric settings (CPEP), inpatient units, outpatient clinics, and through telepsychiatry—giving me a deep understanding of both urgent and long-term mental health needs. My current focus is medication management, tailored specifically to your unique symptoms and goals. Whether you’re struggling with focus, managing your mood, dealing with panic attacks, or just trying to function under the weight of constant stress, I’ll work with you to find a treatment plan that fits—and actually helps. To make care more accessible, I offer flexible evening and weekend appointments, so your mental health doesn’t have to take a back seat to everything else on your plate. With a South Asian background and fluency in Urdu/Hindi, I deeply understand the cultural stigma and access challenges many patients face.

I have done psychotherapy with graduate students, especially around relationship, bereavement (particularly early parental loss), anxiety and fertility issues for over twenty years. I believe that most emotional pain stems from both difficult life circumstances and how we perceive those events. I work in an open, warm and empathically challenging way to help people better explore, understand and wrestle with the issues that are keeping them from finding more peace, joy, freedom and fulfillment.
