About Me

    Dr. Chang is a licensed psychologist who earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from Pacific University. The bulk of his clinical education and experience has been geared towards working with children, adolescents, and families. His clinical work has taken him all across the country, and has included sites in Oregon, California, Georgia, and finally in Maryland. He completed a clinical internship at Monterey County Children’s Behavioral Health in sunny California, and his postdoctoral fellowship was at the University of Maryland Care Clinic. In both settings, he became well-versed in helping children deal with trauma rooted in child maltreatment (i.e., physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, exposure to domestic violence) through individual and family therapy. Dr. Chang continues to provide individual and family therapy services, though his specialty at GBCC is in doing psychological assessments (including diagnostic and psychoeducational evaluations) with children and adolescents to help them identify their strengths as well as help them make use of the many resources around them.

    About Me 

      I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Maryland (LCSW-C). I earned my Masters of Social Work from Salisbury University. I work with adolescents and adults providing individual therapy.

      I strive to provide a warm and empathetic environment and use a person centered and holistic approach to promote insight, change and growth. My goal is to work with you so that you can become your most authentic self.

      Prior to joining GBCC I worked with Hospice where I provided counseling to those with terminal illness and counseling for their loved ones as well.

      I specialize in grief/loss, life transitions, anxiety, depression, health issues and self esteem.

      “I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”

      About Me

        I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who uses a person-centered approach to therapy. I graduated from University of Maryland Baltimore with a Master of Social Work with a clinical focus and a specialization in Behavioral Health. My clinical experience includes working with clients in residential and outpatient community mental health settings.

        I am a big believer in understanding a client’s circumstances and meeting you where you are. As your therapist, it is my role to facilitate and empower you to reach your goals. Everyone deserves a space where they can be open and fully themselves, and my practice aims to create that space for clients. I work together with clients to be able to find solutions to mental health concerns, as well as everyday problems. I implement a variety of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), narrative, solution-focused, and mindfulness.

        I work with adults and older adolescents. My areas of interest include treating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, especially those who are transgender and non-binary, and bring both professional and lived experience to my practice in this area.

        About Me

          People come to therapy with strengths and skills that have helped them to survive up until meeting me, and I find that it is often better to work with existing tools rather than tearing down entire foundations. As a clinician, I can help you to decide what stays, what goes, what skills should be emphasized, and what skills should be learned. I have supported others to solve relationship problems, establish effective coping systems, with adjusting to difficult life experiences and spaces. We are both experts in the room and I will use my understandings of integrative practices to help build the dream that you imagine for yourself.

          My clinical methods are eclectic, integrative, and strengths-based, incorporating a variety of methods such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), trauma informed practices, culturally responsive care, and treatment plans that are unique to the person in services. I enjoy facilitating empowerment as well as providing hope for change against systematic issues.

          Change, difficult life experiences, and mental illness can throw our lives off balance while providing opportunities to transform. I am simply here to help guide individuals back to their preferred selves, where they are prepared to handle both successes. My goal is to help others see their potential and I would love to speak with you about starting services.

          About Me

            Navigating through life’s complexities can often feel like being lost in a fog, and in today’s fast-paced society, stress can quickly become overwhelming. As a therapist with over a decade of experience in mental health across various levels, I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and teens discover and tap into their strengths, enabling a focused approach to enhance their mental well-being. My commitment extends to assisting clients in managing a range of emotional challenges including depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma.

            I employ a diverse array of evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to the specific needs of each client. My toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness techniques. These approaches help clients develop coping strategies that promote resilience and personal growth. Additionally, my practice is enriched by my completion of Gottman Level 1 training, which equips me to support couples in navigating their relationships through improved communication and understanding.

            Therapy, as I view it, is a journey of exploration and healing. I strive to create a safe and open environment where individuals, couples, and teens can freely express themselves and work towards achieving their therapeutic goals. My passion for mental health drives my practice, and I am motivated by the profound impact positive change can have on the lives of those I work with. Together, we will navigate the challenges of life, clearing the fog and moving towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
