Elizabeth Chan, LPC-MHSP, NCC
Elizabeth Chan was raised in the diverse melting pot of New York City as a first-generation Chinese American, born to parents who emigrated from Hong Kong. After graduating from college, Elizabeth moved to Nashville, where she had the wonderful privilege of traveling the world as a drummer and tour manager. These experiences in the entertainment industry afforded her the unique opportunity to hear thousands of people’s stories—from depression, suicide, grief, and addiction to hope found amidst it all. Through these stories, as well as her own, Elizabeth came to realize the powerful gift of mental health therapy and the difference that occurs when one comes to understand their intrinsic worth and their capacity to be seen, heard, known, and loved.
After several years as a touring musician, Elizabeth returned to graduate school to complete her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Elizabeth is passionate about working with all genders ages 16 and older, with a particular interest in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, religious trauma, and multiracial issues.
Elizabeth provides a safe environment that fosters growth, curiosity, exploration, and healing. Utilizing an integrative approach to therapy, Elizabeth helps clients gain greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodies through modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, and mindfulness training.
