About
Adrian Chiu, Ph.D.
In my work, I strive to create an accepting, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe exploring the difficult, and sometimes painful, parts of yourself. I view therapy as a deeply meaningful and collaborative process that can identify the roots of your struggles and serve as a catalyst to shifting the way you relate to yourself and others. This allows for more fulfilling and meaningful relationships, and the subsequent easing of pain and suffering over time.
I am PSYPACT-authorized and a Licensed Psychologist in PA located in the greater Philadelphia area. Since opening my solo private practice in 2016, I have provided patients across forty-two states with a wide range of psychological services rooted in a psychoanalytic framework. These include long-term therapy for depression, anxiety, relational or identity issues, and personality disorders, as well as short-term goal-oriented therapy for a Big 4 consulting firm. In addition, I also have expertise in performing disability case reviews across the disability spectrum for Veterans, the Social Security Administration, and Short- and Long-Term Disability carriers.
What is Psychoanalytic Therapy?
If you find yourself engaging in repeated maladaptive relationship patterns, have an inner sense of something feeling "off", and value self-examination and self-awareness, then psychoanalytic therapy may be a good fit for you.
The whole person is addressed, not just the "symptoms" or the "diagnosis."
The past impacts the present in ways that are both visible and invisible.
"Success" means not only symptom improvement, but a more meaningful, intentional, and purposeful life.
