I am inspired by the idea of supporting people on their journey to become the best version of themselves. With a background in Yoga, Holistic Health, and Counselling Psychology, I prioritize treating the entire person – mind, body and soul. I aim to cultivate a space where people come to learn, grow, feel supported, explore the good parts and the not-so-good parts of life, and ultimately feel connected to themselves and honour their individual needs. My desire to work as a therapist blossomed from my passion for connecting with others and holding compassion for another’s experience.

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.

Accepting new clients, no waiting! Feeling stuck or anxious and can’t seem to shake it? Maybe you’re feeling more snappy or drained but you aren’t sure why, you just know it doesn’t feel like YOU. Things like hyper-independence, people-pleasing and burnout from stress or trauma can make it hard to prioritize your needs (or even know what your needs truly are!) I can help through a process of uncovering unhelpful patterns, facilitating emotional awareness, and healing past wounds that might be holding you back.

Change is a difficult and humbling process. Being patient, kind, and forgiving of ourselves is not usually something we learned as children. Talk therapy is not advice or guidance: it's learning to hear your own decision-making processes, noticing feelings and what needs your trying to meet, discovering your value systems, and moving forward with small deliberate changes. Together in session we will tailor the work we do to suit your specific concerns. Researching therapists, going to therapy, looking at our least helpful patterns, or deliberating on whether to stay or leave a difficult situation takes courage. I congratulate you.

Life is so hard right now. Balancing the never ending to do list, worrying about finances, and trying to find time to take care of yourself feels impossible. When you are struggling to manage the day to day, thinking about improving your mental health can feel daunting. If you have been struggling with depressive thoughts and hopeless or crippling worry for a long time, the current state of the world certainly is not helping. If you are tired of carrying the weight of the world, while also trying to figure out what how to move forward, you've found the right place. Therapy can help you rediscover yourself, and cultivate hope.

Self Esteem Counsellors
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
