She tailors her treatment based on the unique needs and backgrounds of each of her clients.

Dr. Tang is also an advocate for social justice and values diversity, equity, and inclusion. She can work with you in providing multicultural counseling to explore how your unique cultural, ethnic, gender, sexual, and religious identities are interwoven in influencing who you are and shaping your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Feminist therapy also is utilized in identifying how personal experiences as well as systemic and institutional influences can shape us and our challenges. However, Dr. Tang believes in the growth mindset, that we all have the capacity for change, to unlearn unhealthy behaviors or beliefs about ourselves, and strive towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
