Chee Chan Psy.D., Director
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.
