Thérapeute – Art-Thérapeute – Ixelles – Yi-Chien Chang
About Yi-Chien Chang
Art has served as my daily detox for years. The process of choosing art material, as well as using it for self-expression, has been powerful and therapeutic. Being an art therapist, I have seen many of my clients explore their inner self and grow through the art making process.
I hold a Master’s degree in Art Therapy from the School of Visual Arts in New York and have worked with diverse populations in the United States, Taiwan, and Europe.
In my practice, I use a person-centered approach to work with my clients. I aim to create a safe where an individual can explore their inner world and share their narratives through art. I specialize in supporting individuals facing burnout, anxiety, life transitions, and creative blocks. I combine art-making with mindfulness techniques to help clients gain insight into their experiences and develop personalized coping strategies that build resilience and emotional well-being.
With over five years of experience as an international school educator, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by expats and third-culture kids. As an expat myself, I understand the difficulties of acculturation in which culture shock and cultural adaptation are main challenges in daily lives. I am driven by a strong passion for working and supporting people transitioning to a new country.
My mission is to promote the therapeutic power of art-making and to expand access to psychoeducation for the general public. I believe creative expression is not only a pathway to personal healing, but also a vital tool for fostering emotional awareness and supporting mental health in our communities.
