ABOUT PEARL
Pearl Chen, LCSW
I have a strong background working with diverse communities of color. I’m a second-generation Chinese American—sometimes known as an “ABC”—born and raised in New York City. I’m fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo. After a career in Human Resources and Professional Development in the private sector, I returned to school to pursue my passion for helping others, earning my Master of Social Work from Columbia University.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York, I bring a wealth of lived, professional, and educational experience to my practice.
My goal is to foster a warm and safe space for clients to share their joys, fears, successes, and pain. We all need a space to be ourselves without fear of judgment or feeling like a burden.
On the best of days, clients often leave sessions feeling lighter and clear-headed, with a plan of action or renewed motivation. On the hardest days, clients leave knowing they are not alone—and that even a 2% improvement is 2% better than before.
I have experience working with people facing a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, workplace and school stress, relationship problems, family stress, and multicultural issues. I meet clients where they are and offer a firm but gentle approach.
Sessions are free-flowing, with a natural back-and-forth between my clients and me. I draw on a blend of approaches, including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I believe in self-empowerment and that the greatest motivation comes from within.

Clients should feel comfortable using telehealth. While virtual therapy is convenient, it may not be appropriate for people experiencing active psychosis or severe mental health symptoms that require more intensive or in-person care. Please discuss your needs with Pearl to determine whether telehealth is a suitable fit.
Telehealth availability depends on your location and the clinician’s licensure. Please confirm eligibility before scheduling.
WHEN YOU’RE READY
Your next chapter can start with a conversation.
Ask about availability, fees, and whether telehealth psychotherapy is a good fit for your needs.
