The second daughter of Chinese immigrants, Vickie Chang was born and raised in the SF Bay Area. Her work as a psychologist, facilitator, and writer is guided by Chinese ancestral wisdom; Indigenous teachings; and 大地母親 (the Great Earth Mother). She believes that freedom at its core is about connection— the capacity to live with 心 胸 寬 大 (xīn xiōng kuān dà), with a big heart, a vast heart that includes loving our human and nonhuman family, known and unknown.
She is passionate about supporting social change and is a member of Sacred Roots (a BIPOC femme healing collective) and the national climate justice group, Fierce Vulnerability Network. She offers therapy; facilitates groups and teaches workshops; and consults with organizations using restorative justice practices. She is member of an Asian Diaspora writing group and a co-editor on a forthcoming anthology titled Renewal. A snake by birth and in nature, she is always transforming, shedding, and growing into her next incarnation.
