Jamie Chin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field. She is the author of the newly released book Free Yourself From Shyness & Social Anxiety, a book with research-backed methods to transform socially anxious and awkward people into people ready to interact with calm and confidence.
Jamie also writes classic children’s books with positive messages. Dear Daughter and Dear Daughter, Love Dad were written, with her own daughters in mind, to show girls that they are loved unconditionally and that they are perfect just the way they are, particularly in today’s social media landscape. With Look for the Magic, Jamie had her young therapy clients in mind, sharing messages of self-esteem, mindfulness, and living in the moment - all timeless messages that children need to hear more than ever.
Jamie believes a great book is one that is relatable and builds connection with the reader. She hopes her readers come away from her stories feeling uplifted and reassured, cherished and loved, and that this feeling stays with them long after the book is closed.
When she isn’t writing, Jamie loves being in nature, obsessing over dogs, and watching Netflix in her sweatpants. She lives with her husband of 27 years in Northern California and has two amazing adult daughters.
