ChaeUn Hwang, M.Ed., LAC is a Licensed Associate Counselor at ITI-NJ. As a cognitive behavioral therapist with a solution-focused approach, she works with adults and adolescents navigating a range of challenges, including complex traumas, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, autism, and issues related to LGBTQ+ identity and experience.
ChaeUn brings a unique perspective from her previous work in education, where she served as a certified school counselor, director of guidance, anti-bullying specialist, and 504 coordinator. She draws on this background to support clients - particularly adolescents and families - with college advising, career counseling, and navigating 504/IEP plans.
She earned her Master of Education in Counseling Psychology from Rutgers University - New Brunswick, and her bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with dual minors in Asian American Studies and Sociology, from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is currently working under the supervision of Suzy Takvorian, LPC, ACS, as she continues her path toward full licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
ChaeUn views therapy as a collaborative journey toward self-awareness and empowerment. She supports clients in breaking free from unhelpful patterns and developing practical tools for lasting change. Seeking help is a courageous step, and ChaeUn is dedicated to providing a safe, encouraging space along the way.
