About Josh Chan, Therapist In Training
Our relationships impact the way we treat ourselves. Moments in our upbringing or adult life that felt affirming or caused hurt reinforce behaviors and teach us how to be in future relationships. Transforming the patterns that no longer serve us in our relationships takes great courage, but the joy is in the process of intentionality. Together, we can work towards greater acceptance of a self-image that is not tainted by the preferences of others, and build connections with more authenticity.
My practice is grounded in humanistic approaches that use mindfulness to reduce stress and incorporate solution-focused frameworks to help clients reach their goals. As a systemic practitioner, I utilize a biopsychosocial model of mental health shifting patterned behaviors learned in relationships to help alleviate problems.
I draw from my training and lived expertise that spans an intersectionality of faiths and cultures with an emphasis on the challenges couples and families face. As an immigrant, I am passionate about working with BIPOC, LGBT+, and Asian-American populations. Together, let us build a safe therapeutic relationship and empower you to step towards your potential today.
Outside of therapy, I love testing out different Asian recipes in my kitchen. I also enjoy baking (currently on cookies), connecting with nature, playing video games, and hosting boardgame nights with friends. I am a proud “guncle” to a dachshund, a Pomshi, and a Kunekune, all of whom I adore dearly.

Marriage & Family Therapist
Marriage & Family Therapist
In Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT), the unit of treatment isn’t just the person – even if only a single person is interviewed – it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded. MFTs take a holistic perspective to health care; they are concerned with the overall, long-term well-being of individuals and their families.
Marriage and Family Therapists are mental health professionals trained in psychotherapy and family systems and licensed to assess and treat mental and emotional disorders. They do so within the context of all relationship structures including marriage, couples and family systems. Marriage and family therapists treat a wide range of serious clinical problems including: depression, marital problems, anxiety, individual psychological problems, and child-parent problems.
After receiving treatment, almost 90% of clients report an improvement in their emotional health, and nearly two-thirds report an improvement in their overall physical health. A majority of clients report an improvement in their functioning at work.
