Peter Chan, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist — Psychologist in City and County of San Francisco, CA

Posting this review from a throwaway Google account to maintain anonymity, but this is a genuine review. Dr. Peter Chan has been a truly transformative presence in my life. His deep understanding of intergenerational trauma, particularly within Asian families, has been invaluable in helping me process and heal from experiences I didn't fully understand before. He approaches each session with compassion and insight, making me feel seen and understood in ways I hadn’t experienced in therapy before. Dr. Chan also gets the unique challenges of growing up as a gay queer Asian person in a heteronormative, white society. He navigates these complexities with sensitivity and respect, providing guidance that’s not just about coping, but about thriving authentically. His ability to connect cultural and personal experiences makes his support particularly impactful. Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Chan is helping me heal my inner child in ways that my parents never could. His approach has allowed me to reconnect with parts of myself that I had long suppressed or misunderstood, fostering a deep sense of self-compassion and growth. I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have met Dr. Chan. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist who understands the nuanced experiences of navigating multiple identities and cultural expectations. He’s helped me embrace my true self, and I’m incredibly thankful for his expertise and care. Thank you, Peter ❤️‍🩹
