He received training at UC Davis and Santa Clara University to work with international students and LGBT issues. Dr. Chan has expertise in treating anxiety and mood disorders. He is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrates other evidence-based approaches to personalize treatment based on his clients' presentations. He pays special attention to creating a trusting and safe environment to help his clients build insights and skills to learn new ways to cope with stressors and gain acceptance. He recognizes that change is scary and hard. Thus, he aims to compassionately empower his clients to effectively address their concerns head-on and face their fears so they can grow their confidence and ability to tolerate and manage emotional distress.
