Ali Faris, PsyD

I describe myself as… empathetic, warm, playful with a sense of humor, encouraging and excited to learn about what makes you who you are! I am fond of helping others come to recognize the ways they are unique and wonderful. I don’t shy away from the more challenging subjects or situations that are a part of life and will work side by side with you as you are ready.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: My passion for working closely with medical teams as a neuropsychologist has led me to my work in hospital and outpatient medical settings, including the field of oncology. I have directly witnessed the struggles of healthcare professionals and have learned how to offer support through the many challenges they face in their professional and personal lives. I believe that when clinical providers are emotionally well and balanced in their values, passions, and personal lives, we can create healthy, fulfilling, and joyful healthcare workplaces.

I’m passionate about… I specialize in working with clinicians struggling with burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD/trauma, grief/loss, relationship struggles, existential crisis, transitions, performance challenges, self-worth, and perfectionism. In addition, I have experience working with clinicians with serious medical conditions such as cancer, neurological disorders, brain and spinal cord injuries.

You might like working with me if… My approach centers on honoring your knowledge, with the goal of creating an empowering environment where you have the freedom to discover your strengths, resilience, and courage. It is important to me that we consider culture, history, and identity in the context of that with which you are struggling. I truly appreciate the beautiful complexity that makes each of us who we are. What fun we might have looking at your life through new lenses, flipping scripts, and shifting paradigms!

When not working… I can be found doing many physical activities including circus arts and spending time catching up with friends and family.

Brian Van Buren, PhD

I describe myself as… warm, open-minded, and strengths-based. I believe in the benefits of a supportive and authentic therapeutic relationship to promote healing and growth.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I have spent most of my career working in hospitals and understand the unique pressures of inpatient medicine, rounding on the wards, and caring for people with complex medical problems. I am passionate about partnering with healthcare professionals to foster wellness, resilience, and meaning in their personal and professional lives.

I’m passionate about… working with people coping with occupational stress, trauma, grief, and the impact that these experiences can have on relationships. I have sought specialized training in the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as well as complicated grief.

You might like working with me if… you like an active and collaborative approach to therapy. I’m first interested in getting to know you as a whole person in order to make the best decisions about what directions to take in therapy. I generally rely on a combination of insight and skills-based approaches, and think it's important to regularly check in about your goals.

When not working…I enjoy running, spending time with family and friends, catching up with a good book, and exploring all that New York City and New England have to offer.

Tina Chen, PMHNP

I describe myself as… A provider that focuses on compassionate care, clinical expertise, and thoughtful therapeutic presence. I create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their mental health journey.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: My background as a psychiatric nurse practitioner has given me the privilege of working closely with a wide range of healthcare professionals across diverse medical settings—from fast-paced hospitals to intimate private practices. I understand the emotional and physical toll this work can take, as well as the passion and commitment it demands.

Over the years, I’ve seen how burnout, compassion fatigue, and systemic pressures affect even the most resilient providers. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to supporting healthcare professionals through coaching and therapeutic support. I believe that when caregivers are supported, empowered, and emotionally well, they are better able to serve their patients and find fulfillment in their own lives.

This work matters deeply to me because I’ve been there. I know what it feels like to juggle clinical responsibilities, high expectations, and personal well-being. Helping others in this field reconnect with their purpose, reduce stress, and create sustainable careers is both a calling and a privilege.

I’m passionate about… working with clients who want to get better, and also colleagues who care about their clients.

You might like working with me if… My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique journey. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and psychodynamic principles, tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. I also speak Mandarin fluently.

I view therapy as a co-created space—a place where you can feel heard without judgment, explore your inner world, and develop tools for lasting change. Whether you're navigating burnout, anxiety, relationship challenges, or identity shifts, I work to create a safe and empowering environment where growth is possible.

Clients have described working with me as both grounding and forward-moving: we honor where you are while gently pushing toward where you want to be. My hope is that our work together feels supportive, insightful, and practical—because healing is not just about understanding the past, but also about creating a more meaningful present.

When not working… You can find me with my family and my pets. I also love computers. Currently, I am attending Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering for my Masters in Computer Science.
