Hello! I'm Dr. Chang, a Child, Adolescent, and Family Psychologist who has worked/trained at multiple hospitals across Ontario. When you start to see changes in your child, whether that may be restrictive eating behaviours (e.g., cutting out sweets, eating smaller portions), compulsive behaviours (e.g., handwashing), social withdrawal, or avoidance of things they enjoy, it can be hard to know what to do.

I have helped many people reclaim their lives and move forward after the unimaginable happens-I look forward to helping you do the same.

Life has endless challenges for children, youth and young adults these days. Issues that previous generations didn't even need to think about are now part of every day life for younger generations - cyberbullying, worries about school safety, increased rates of mental health struggles, societal conversations about gender and sexuality... On top of that are the issues that have plagued youth for generations - stress, school, dating, friends, and numerous other issues to wade through day by day. Sometimes it's hard to cope with these things on our own though, and that's where I come in.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who helps people who are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and depression. Many of these are common symptoms for people who struggle with mental health conditions. Understanding the barriers in a person’s life, and previous trauma, can help identify present day triggers and daily struggles. The goal of therapy would be to work collaboratively, using a psychotherapy framework, to identify the cause of the struggles and work towards understanding and reducing symptoms affecting your daily life.

Living with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, addictions, dysfunctional relationships, lack of boundaries, stress, limiting beliefs - to name a few, can significantly impact our mental well being.

If you are resonating with this I want you to know that you're not alone, and full support is available to you!
