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. Many parents start to worry that their child may have anxiety, depression , ocd, or an eating disorder and want to find support.

Welcome to a space where you are not alone in your struggles, and where finding connection and self-awareness becomes possible. As a BIPOC and neurodivergent therapist, I understand the common challenges faced by marginalized communities.

With a background focused on trauma, depression , anxiety, communication skills, relationship conflicts, and cultural/identity struggles, I am well-equipped to guide you through your journey of healing and growth.

At the Centre for Anxiety, Attention Deficit and Trauma (CAAT), we treat individuals of all ages and provide therapy on an individual basis. Our clients typically suffer from anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder or agoraphobia or specific phobias.

I offer assessments for ADHD as well. The report may be used by your doctor to inform a medical diagnosis of ADHD.

I help couples who aren't satisfied in their relationships, and individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression . The clients I see are hurting, but they're capable, smart, and ready to break free from negative patterns. If you're struggling in your relationship, maybe you've tried voicing your concerns but the communication in your relationship just isn't working. You want to feel connected again, instead of holding back your concerns and growing further apart.

Are you or is someone you know navigating the complex world of cancer? If you’re feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start, you’re in the right place. My passion is helping clients live a life where they aren’t living, they’re thriving. While my niche is cancer-related care, I work with other issues, including anxiety, body image, burnout, chronic illness, depression , grief/loss, life transitions and relationships. Grounded in compassion, I aim to help clients shift from reacting to responding by providing the safe space they need to explore and nurture themselves, and leave feeling empowered and reconnected to what’s important.

I believe that many issues considered "symptoms" are adaptations that were once necessary for enduring difficult circumstances or attachment relationships. I work with clients to determine whether these adaptations are helpful in the current context. These issues can include relationship patterns with yourself or others, emotional and cognitive responses to relational trauma and abuse, overwhelming emotions, difficulty identifying feelings, dissociation, disordered eating, body image concerns, anxiety, depression , and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also work with clients exploring their gender identity and sexual orientation.

Struggling with motivation or finding it hard to tackle tasks? Ever feel like your best just isn't cutting it? Maybe you're dealing with overwhelming emotions, irritability, or impulsivity. Comparing yourself to others might be bringing on shame, making it even tougher to put your best foot forward. Navigating through the challenges of ADHD, anxiety, depression , low self-esteem, or relationship issues can leave you feeling stuck, not knowing how to move forward. But you've taken a crucial step, and I'm genuinely glad you've landed here.

Do you feel anxious, less confident, and keep wondering if you're being too sensitive? Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells or feel that everything you do is wrong in your relationships? I help people move from an unhealthy attachment with others to a secure relationship. You may feel like you are no longer living, but are just surviving. This can affect your concentration, feeling alone and can lead to hopelessness, depression and general distress which can cause other issues. I have helped people begin to see things clearly, start trusting themselves, and learn tools to help them cope.

Can you imagine if therapy took place while hiking through the forest, sunbathing in a field of wildflowers, chilling with some chickens, sitting around a campfire or simply from the comfort of your kitchen table? I believe that therapy has a real image problem that could be improved by embracing a healing realm which includes mother nature, play and genuine human connection. If you are considering therapy for you or someone you care about, but the thought of sitting in an office turns you off, then let's connect where you're at, or where I'm at: on 25 aces in Hamilton's wild west Flamborough!
