About Huajuan

My name is Huajuan Chen, and I go by Jen Chen(she/her). I am a Mandarin-speaking therapist who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stress related to health and family roles. I received my Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis and my Master of Social Work from Columbia University. Before transitioning into clinical work, I spent several years in fintech and digital health. This experience deepened my understanding of the pressures individuals face in high-demand environments and inspired my path toward becoming a therapist.

I take a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach, integrating CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based practices to support clients in building insight, emotional regulation, and practical coping strategies. I am especially passionate about working with Asian and Asian American clients navigating cultural identity, generational expectations, and professional or family-related stress.
