Dr. Chern is the most compassionate Psychiatrist I have seen. Her listening is so accurate you know she has gotten "you". , sometimes with no more than a word. Give yourself the gift of being seen and heard.

I have been seeing her for a few years. She is very smart, perceptive, and professional. She doesn't come off as the world's warmest first, but she grows on you. Over time, you get a sense that she really cares about your mental health well being.
