Hi, I'm Dr. Arthur Chen, a licensed psychologist in Boca Raton and a Clinical Director. My passion is helping you navigate challenges and build lasting well-being through evidence-based strategies, genuine empathy, and active collaboration.

I'll gently challenge you to explore new perspectives and identify patterns, always in a safe space. My core is unconditional positive regard and profound care, ensuring you feel safe and accepted, truly heard and understood.
My strength is equipping you with practical skills for daily life. I provide concrete tools to manage difficult emotions, improve communication, develop robust coping mechanisms, and cultivate emotional resilience. My commitment is tangible results: symptom reduction, sustainable recovery, deeper self-discovery, and ultimately, an improved quality of life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience supporting children, adults, and families navigating complex and often overwhelming life circumstances. My professional background includes work in child welfare, domestic violence services, and with families raising children or caring for loved ones with disabilities. These experiences have shaped my deep respect for resilience and my commitment to providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care.
I am Dr. Christie Simon-Waterman, a dually certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic care across the lifespan. My clinical background spans primary care, mental health, and community-based health, allowing me to care for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
I earned my nursing education at Coppin State University and completed my doctoral training with a strong focus on health equity, leadership, and integrated care delivery.
In my practice, I specialize in:
- Anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, and mood disorders
- Integrated mental health treatment
- Substance use–related concerns and recovery support
- Care for underserved and marginalized populations
My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens best when clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we develop personalized treatment plans that may include therapy, medication management when appropriate, lifestyle interventions, and ongoing support tailored to your goals.
Above all, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive responsive space where clients can build resilience, restore balance, and move forward with confidence and clarity.
Even though you may be struggling with something right now, you can choose to see it in a new way... which can lead to changing your relationship to it... which can lead to real transformation. Everything you need is already within you. My role is to help you access it, and use it.
It is hard to be vulnerable in therapy. And while I don't yet know your story, I do know that if you are considering therapy, you are already doing the hard work of introspection. It takes courage to seek out more for yourself. You have my respect and my empathy, and I would love to be part of your journey of healing and discovery.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bel Air, MD
Searching for therapists in Bel Air starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People may look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Bel Air therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to work on. Some therapists may mention cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, family therapy, or experience with couples and marriage counseling in Bel Air, MD.
In a smaller market like Bel Air and the broader Harford County area, local therapist availability may vary by specialty, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual sessions can expand your options while still giving you access to therapists licensed in Maryland. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person or virtual appointments, how soon you want to start, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand each therapist’s style, session structure, and experience before you book.
Therapy in Bel Air can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, many of whom accept insurance and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then review profiles and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
