Chee Chan Psy.D.

Dr. Chan obtained his doctorate from Long Island University/C.W. Post. His passion for the work stems from witnessing the growth of others as well as being on the path of self-discovery himself. Being a part of clients’ lives at Bellevue Hospital, Nassau University Medical Center, New York University, Cambridge Hospital/Harvard Medical School and the William Allison White Institute has honed his ability to listen to, share and stay connected with the pain and joy of being human. His personal journey helps him to cultivate the compassion, curiosity and desire involved with accompanying others in their struggle to facilitate change.

Dr. Chan understands the way people may be defined by factors such as family, society, relationships, culture or work. His approach uncovers the meaning behind a client’s unhealthy relationships and destructive behaviors, and enables his clients to become aware of, respect and empathize with these bonds, leading to fully experiencing life. This freedom materializes because individuals realize they have a choice in continuing to identify with connections instead of being a prisoner to them.

A safe place to make meaningful change

Change can be difficult. We are a team of psychologists who are here to help you get the change that you desire by seeing your blocks, figuring out how to release them and/or embrace them, to get you flowing again

At our practice

We want to develop deep relationships with you to understand what’s going on in your life.

Issues like obsessive thoughts, feeling like you don't belong, or having trouble finding a good partner can feel like they're totally separate problems, but they're often more complicated than they seem. Our psychologists will help you figure out what may be going on under the surface and how these problems might be connected. This way, we can work together to make some real, lasting change through insight and/or behavioral techniques.

What sets us apart is the belief in the healing power of relationships. We practice what we preach, we meet as a team every week to support each other. Our relationships are built on professionalism, empathy, honesty, trust, collaboration, and respect. These principles are carried over into our relationships with you.

The values we live by

We use these values as a starting point to help you know more about yourself, make the changes you want, and to build stronger connections to yourself and to others. It’s like having a foundation that keeps you grounded and flexible, so you can bend without breaking.

Professionalism

Being trained to focus on you first, helps you to know yourself through another person without being burdened by another person’s emotional/psychological needs.

Honesty

Being truthful to you, lets see yourself as a real person with good and bad qualities.

Trust

Being reliable, consistent, and committed to you, builds a meaningful connection between us. Our relationship sets an example of who you can rely on outside of therapy.

Empathy

Understanding your feelings without pity or judgment shows that your feelings are “ok” without needing to get rid of and/or impulsively act on them.

Collaboration

We can’t do this work without you, we want, and encourage feedback to personalize the work and to ensure the change is happening at your pace, and is driven by you.

Respect

In our work, we strive to include the range of diverse experiences, backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, gender, orientations, philosophies, religions, and any imaginable difference. We want to make sure everyone has a voice and is heard.

Let’s work together
