Debbie Chen, LMHC

Professional Bio

Hi! My name is Debbie Chen and I’m a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. I have experience treating clients experiencing a number of mental health challenges including but not limited to depressive disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, and adjustment disorders. During my sessions with clients, I use clinically proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered approaches.

My motto is “True fulfillment comes from helping others,” and I became a therapist because I always wanted to make an impact in the lives of others. I pride myself on being a great listener, and I consider myself a vehicle for my clients to reach their optimal mental functioning. Therapy has certainly taught me how much we depend on each other, and that we cannot go through this life journey alone. Interacting with clients is my favorite part of the job, and I truly feel like I learn from each client as we navigate unpredictable conversations and talk through life stories. It’s so rewarding to see my clients have these “aha” moments as they identify ways to improve their lives, and learn to identify their strengths and the positives of life.

The journey to improved mental health can be challenging, so as your therapist, I promise to be patient with you, listen to you, and give you complete autonomy. I want to put your comfort first, and I promise to always provide a safe and comfortable space for you to express your feelings.

I’m looking forward to meeting you!
