About
Modern Mindful Therapy is a private practice in New York led by Sherry Chen, a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience. The practice serves adults and young adults seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity issues, and life transitions. Chen specializes in working with parents navigating healing and growth while raising children, and with individuals experiencing perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns.
The practice operates from a trauma-informed and attachment-based relational perspective, grounded in the understanding that present-day challenges often have roots in developmental experiences and early relationships. Chen's approach emphasizes creating an accepting, encouraging, and grounding therapeutic presence that supports clients in exploring and expressing their authentic selves. She integrates multiple evidence-based modalities tailored to individual needs, including attachment-focused EMDR, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. Her training also includes specialized work with maternal mental health and perinatal challenges.
