Simon Chan, LMFT, CSAT

***SIMON IS THE ONLY THERAPIST THAT CAN PROVIDE IN-PERSON THERAPY IN IRVINE.***

I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was 18 because I’ve always been very self-aware, emotionally sensitive, and insightful. My combat experience as a US ARMY medic in Iraq confirmed my purpose, inspiring me to serve others in a meaningful way.

I work with men who are struggling with pornography use and the impact it has on their lives, relationships, and sense of self. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore patterns, understand triggers, and develop strategies to regain control. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with compassion and understanding. I know that porn addiction can bring shame, guilt, and isolation, and I aim to help you navigate these challenges while building healthier habits and more fulfilling connections.

In therapy, we’ll work together to:

-Identify triggers and underlying emotional or relational issues

-Reduce compulsive behavior and regain self-control

-Improve relationships and communication

-Develop healthy coping strategies and a sense of self-compassion
