Meet Lily Chang

Hi, I’m Lily! I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC). My specialized interests in psychotherapy and clinical counseling include PTSD, Anxiety Disorders, Panic Disorder, cognitive development, and the psychology of pain. I approach mental wellness through an Integrative Model founded upon CBT/DBT/ACT, Polyvagal neuroscience, Psychodynamic Therapy, and humanism. I focus on Whole Person Health towards empowerment and self-actualization utilizing comprehensive modalities like mindfulness, meditation, and expressive arts.

 

I am certified in CBT and DBT. I trained in ACT with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy creator Stephen C. Hayes PhD; Gottman Method Couples and Family Therapy with Dr. John and Julie Gottman’s Gottman Institute; I will begin Traumatic Stress Studies training with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, and offer certified EMDR Therapy.

 

I attended Columbia University, and JFK School of Psychology/Social Sciences at National University. I have a MA in Counseling Psychology, and a BA in Psychology. I have volunteered with Hoag Hospital Newport Beach and Habitat for Humanity.

 

I reside in CA and enjoy the beach, reading, gardening, and cooking.

 

For more information, please visit my Psychology Today profile.

 

I look forward to meeting with you!

Therapy Styles

Short Term (Solution-focused, etc.) 
Ideal for those who are coming in with a specific problem they’d like to address and gain clarity on. Typically, short term therapies are present focused and do not dive deep into your past.

Structured
Structured therapies are goal and progress oriented. Therapists may incorporate psychoeducation and a specific “curriculum.” In order to stay on track, therapists may provide worksheets and homework.

Insight-oriented (Psychodynamic, Existential, etc.) 
Exploring the past and making connections to present issues can help clients gain insight. Getting to the root of the issue and finding deeper self-awareness can help with long-term change.

Non-directive (Humanistic, Person-centered, etc.)
Going with the flow and seeing where it leads.

Behavioral (CBT, DBT, etc.)
Focuses on changing potentially unhealthy or self-destructive behaviors by addressing problematic thought patterns and specific providing coping skills.

Trauma Focused (EMDR, TF-CBT, etc.)
Recognizing the connection between trauma experiences and your emotional and behavioral responses, trauma focused therapy seeks to help you heal from traumas.
