Getting to know Rina Chang
Hi there, I'm Rina!
Welcome to a space where judgment and invalidation have no place. I believe building safety and security in therapy is necessary for positive change and growth. I find it important to understand who you are and what matters to you so we can collaborate to reach your goals. Whenever you feel ready, I will be here to help you take the first step.
My focus
I specialize in working with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment and relationship wounds, family conflict, intergenerational and cultural differences, life transitions, identity development, and self-esteem. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and immigrant communities.
My approach
Compassion, safety, and collaboration are the pillars of my work. I use AEDP to identify and make meaning of your feelings, emphasizing that your feelings matter. Through a trauma-informed lens, I believe we are built to move naturally towards healing, using EMDR to strengthen your innate ability to stabilize and move towards positive change.
My communication style
The energy I bring is caring, positive, curious, and playful. I prioritize setting a safe and non-threatening environment in our sessions. I respect you as a person and will never judge you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with me. When something challenging arises, I will be calm and fully present to work through it together.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey began when I realized I couldn't do therapy alone. Growing up in an Asian household where mental health was often overlooked or dismissed, it was not easy for me to understand why intense emotions would come up, let alone know what to do with them. Taking that first step helped me uncover strengths and self-agency I didn't know I had.
