Alice Chien is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who creates a warm, insightful therapeutic environment where clients can explore the complex interplay between family history, cultural identity, and personal growth.
As a child of immigrants herself, she offers insight into the challenges of navigating cultural expectations, identity formation, and the weight of family patterns across generations. Alice works with individuals of all ages, including children and teens, and is beginning couples work using EFT and narrative therapy training.
Her therapeutic approach integrates attachment-based and psychodynamic principles with practical elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and somatic therapy techniques.
With a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from USC (2025), Alice brings contemporary training and experience with Asian and Asian American communities, as well as children on the autism spectrum in both home and school settings.
Education & training
Alice holds a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California (2025).
I believe healing happens when we feel truly seen and understood by ourselves and others. My hope is that therapy offers clients a space to move beyond cycles of self-criticism and disconnection, and that clients walk away with a stronger sense of self, deeper compassion, and the tools to navigate life with more ease and confidence.
