Ruifen Tan
Limited Licensed Counselor -
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by anger you couldn’t control, or so stressed that sleep felt impossible? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. I hear you. Your emotional well-being matters, and I’m here to support you in becoming a healthier, more grounded version of yourself. I hold a graduate degree in Counseling from Michigan State University and have experience working with college students and adults facing concerns such as anger management, stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorder, ADHD, bipolar disorder, life transitions, relationship issues, multicultural challenges, and childhood trauma.
I believe healing happens best in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment, where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. In therapy, I focus on truly understanding your story. Together, we will explore what’s happening within you, increase self-awareness, and develop practical coping skills tailored to your needs.
Our work will be collaborative and goal-oriented, helping you feel more confident, emotionally balanced, fulfilled, and alive in your daily life. I offer therapy in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese（我提供中文/英文/粤语咨询服务）, and I am attentive to the impact of cultural identity throughout the therapy. I also offer flexible scheduling to better fit your needs.
