Ms Lisa Chen

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Former Taiwanese American corporate executive experienced in demanding environments, holding business degrees from Wharton and Harvard. I use neuroscience-based psychological methods (EMDR, Gottman, DBT, IFS,) to assist individuals, families, and couples in breaking hurtful cycles.

About Me

As a former Taiwanese American corporate executive, I understand the unique pressures of demanding environments. I help individuals, couples, and families break hurtful cycles using neuroscience-based methods. We can explore approaches like Gottman or IFS to build healthier connections. I offer practical tools, guiding you towards lasting clarity and change in your life.

Approach

High-pressure corporate life taught me to notice patterns under stress, so I move into sessions with clear intentions, steady pacing, and practical experiments rather than abstract talk. In my Los Angeles office and via secure online sessions in English, we map how anxiety, relationship strains, or mood shifts show up in your body, choices, and conversations, then try small, targeted shifts in-session and between sessions. You can expect direct feedback, somatic grounding, and collaborative planning. This approach often fits people seeking clarity and sustainable change.
