leT'S GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER

Stacy Chiang, Psy.D.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal difficulties, and other life stressors.

All of us wish to be seen, heard, and understood, but sometimes the fear of judgment gets in the way of our expression of our true selves and our vulnerability. I am committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to give voice to yourself, and for us to collaborate on workable solutions to implement in your school life, work life, and/or relationship with others. My goal for you in therapy is to become your own therapist by gaining a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and sense of self, and by learning what works for you in times of distress through leaning on your innate wisdom.

I offer individual therapy with adolescents and adults in English or Mandarin, and psychoeducational evaluations in English. My therapeutic approach is integrative and research-based.

My graduate research was focused on understanding Asian American adolescents’ help-seeking pathways, in hopes of bringing changes to the way schools, families, and communities support their Asian American adolescents with their distress.
