The daughter of Chinese immigrants, Vickie Chang was born and raised in the SF Bay Area on unceded Ohlone territory. She sees liberation as rooted in connection— the capacity to live with 心 胸 寬 大 (xīn xiōng kuān dà), with a vast heart that includes honoring our human and nonhuman family, known and unknown. Trained at UCLA and Stanford University, her work as a psychologist, facilitator, and writer is guided by Chinese ancestral wisdom including Buddhism and Taoism; Indigenous teachings; and 大 地 母 親 (the Great Earth Mother).
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. www.vickiechangphd.com
