Dr. Mandy Chen received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Toronto, and her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of British Columbia. She completed her pre-doctoral residency at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, and a post-doctoral research fellowship in the department of Pediatrics at UBC. Since 2008, Dr. Chen has worked with families of children and adolescents with a wide range of psychological needs (e.g., anxiety, depression, history of trauma, behavior problems, family conflict, neurodevelopmental conditions) in a variety of settings (i.e., pediatric hospital, university clinic, community mental health centers). She worked for many years as a clinical psychologist at BC Children’s Hospital before entering private practice in 2014. Currently, in addition to working in private clinics, Dr. Chen also provides consultation and assessments for teens in the inpatient psychiatric unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

Dr. Chen is fluent in both English and Mandarin-Chinese, and provides therapy and assessment in both languages. She employs empirically-supported treatment approaches, and is collaborative and client-centered in her practice. Dr. Chen also regularly gives talks in schools and the community to increase public awareness and knowledge of childhood anxiety.
