Override Hero Title

Hi, I'm Dr. Arthur Chen, a licensed psychologist in Boca Raton and a Clinical Director. My passion is helping you navigate challenges and build lasting well-being through evidence-based strategies, genuine empathy, and active collaboration.

I specialize in Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, eating disorder recovery, and substance abuse recovery. Our practice, where I'm Clinical Director, also handles severe issues like bipolar disorder and psychosis.

My style is active, empathetic, and results-oriented. I don't just listen; I provide direct feedback and insightful questions to deepen your self-awareness. I'll gently challenge you to explore new perspectives and identify patterns, always in a safe space. My core is unconditional positive regard and profound care, ensuring you feel safe and accepted, truly heard and understood.

My strength is equipping you with practical skills for daily life. I provide concrete tools to manage difficult emotions, improve communication, develop robust coping mechanisms, and cultivate emotional resilience. My commitment is tangible results: symptom reduction, sustainable recovery, deeper self-discovery, and ultimately, an improved quality of life. Whether you want to "figure things out" or enhance your mental fitness, I'm here to guide you.

Thanks for visiting my page. I’m Esteban, and I bring over 30 years of experience in the human services field and more than a decade as a licensed therapist. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, bipolar disorder, panic disorders, grief and loss, relationship struggles, identity questions, and stress management. I also support clients exploring men’s issues and LGBTQIA+ experiences, always with an open, affirming, and respectful perspective.

At the heart of my work is a simple goal: helping people reach their highest potential in life. Many of the people I work with want to better understand their past experiences, make sense of their emotions, and begin making meaningful changes. My style is holistic, open-minded, and affirming, and I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel respected and supported.

Reaching out for support is an important step, and my goal is to make the process feel safe, welcoming, and empowering. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I use an eclectic approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), integrative and holistic practices, and person-centered techniques. Our work together is flexible and tailored to your needs, blending practical tools with compassionate understanding.

I am a bilingual English Spanish psychotherapist and clinical consultant in New York with extensive experience in outpatient mental health settings and in private practice. Relational trauma, dyadic work with parents and babies, life transitions like divorce, loss, coping with college related challenges and entering the workforce, and in general anxiety and depression have been at the core of my clinical work.

Welcome, I'm looking forward to speaking to you and seeing if we are a good therapeutic fit! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy to individuals, couples, and families.

I am a CSWR with 15 years of clinical experience providing assessment and treatment to individuals, families, youth, and couples, and I have maintained a private practice since 2018.

I am a LCSW with over a decade of experience helping people of all ages. I believe suffering comes into all of our lives and I aim to ease the burden of your suffering.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Ithaca College, and then my Master of Social Work from Binghamton University. I have experience working in college counseling, hospital settings, and non-profits.

Growing up as an immigrant, I was fortunate to have teachers, mentors, and counselors in my life who made me feel "seen" and "heard" and helped me navigate the nuances of my complex, contradicting dual cultures. Inspired, it led me to officially train to provide "unconditional regard" (safe spaces) for those in similar situations.

I specialize in working with individuals struggling with weight loss and weight management. I provide an alternative strategy to weight loss based on cognitive therapy that allows people to change their life and their relationship with food, instead of just dieting.
