Jessie Jingru Tan

I am a licensed psychotherapist with a MSW degree from The University of Chicago and a Bachelor degree from Renmin University of China. I have working experience in both US and China in a variety of settings. I provide individual and family psychotherapy to adults with psychosocial concerns such as depression, anxiety, boundary issues, personal relational concerns, parenting needs and so on.

My practice is based on the belief that life brings us many challenges and at times we can get stuck. Feeling stuck can cause us to feel uncomfortable symptoms – anxiety, depression, anger, etc. I believe that therapy is a process where you can gain tools to address those challenges, determine what needs to be changed, work towards making those changes while navigating all the thoughts, feelings and emotions that may come up in the process. I strive to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where clients can work towards living a value-driven, meaningful life.
