You’ve been doing the work. Now let’s go deeper.
Therapy for marginalized folks—queer, trans, BIPOC, and beyond—who’ve done the talking, named the patterns, and are ready to do the real work of transformation.
You’ve Talked It Out. So Why Does It Still Feel Like This?
You’ve already done hard work—years of therapy, self-inquiry, trauma processing. You’re self-aware. Insightful. Maybe even the one your therapist called “advanced.”
And yet:
You keep circling the same emotional patterns
You feel disconnected from your body, like healing hasn’t landed
Therapy spaces haven’t fully understood your lived experience
You’re tired of intellectualizing your pain—and ready to feel something shift
The problem isn’t you. The problem is that most therapy wasn’t designed for the fullness of who you are—or the depth of where you’re ready to go.
If you’re here, you probably don’t need another 50-minute session to talk about what happened.
You need therapy that helps you:
Work with your internal parts using IFS (Internal Family Systems)
Reconnect with your nervous system and body through Somatic Experiencing
Heal in a space where your identities are affirmed—not something to be explained
Release internalized shame through work grounded in liberation and body trust
Access healing that is non-pathologizing and rooted in self-trust
This is not beginner therapy. It’s depth work, designed for those who’ve already been in the trenches.

I’m a Chinese American, nonbinary psychologist with over 20 years of experience walking alongside people like you—folks who’ve done their work and are ready to go deeper.
My approach is:
Somatic (because trauma lives in the body)
Parts-based (because we’re all complex systems)
Liberatory and affirming (because healing can’t happen in systems that erase us)
My role isn’t to fix you—it’s to help you come into deeper relationship with yourself. On your terms.
Therapy with Dr. Sand Chang (they/them)
Healing doesn’t mean changing who you are—it means coming into deeper relationship with yourself.
Imagine therapy that doesn’t ask you to explain or justify who you are—because your whole self is already welcome. With time, you might begin to:
Experience more space and compassion toward the parts of you that carry pain
Understand your internal system and patterns without judgment
Cultivate connection with your body in ways that support healing, not control
Feel more grounded and resourced, even in moments of distress
Move through the world with greater authenticity and choice
Let’s go deeper—together.
You already know how to do the work.
It’s time you’ve found a space that can meet your depth, honor your truth, and support your next chapter of healing.
If you’re ready for therapy that’s collaborative, liberatory, and designed for where you are now, I’d be honored to walk with you.
