Dr. Ying-An (Erica) Chi
Psychologist (35946); clinical supervisor
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
I’m a bilingual (Mandarin-speaking) and social justice oriented psychologist who places a high value on the relationship I form with my clients. I prioritize building an authentic connection with you and aim to empower you on your journey through life.
As a Taiwanese immigrant and my own experience as an international student in the U.S., I bring a culturally responsive perspective to my clinical work. I offer a space for you to explore your cultural identities and how they interact with the world, while empowering you to cultivate self-trust and acceptance in who you are.
I received my doctorate from Alliant University and joined Framework after training at several community mental health agencies around Los Angeles County.
Finally, I serve as a clinical supervisor within Framework’s training programs.
