Michael Tang LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

My professional background:  I have been working as a psychotherapist since 2000. My specialty is childhood trauma healing and transformation. Helping my clients heal from their childhood trauma is not just a job but a passion. I learn not only from my professional training and experience but also from my own ongoing healing. I treat all my clients as fellow human beings first and foremost and work with them in a partnership to bring about healing and transformation in their lives.

My personal background:  I was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to the U.S. as a child.  Much of my childhood was marred by abuse and neglect.  As a result, I suffered from anxiety and depression as a young adult.  After being widowed in my twenties, I sought help from a therapist who helped me work through my adult grief and childhood trauma.  I was so excited over my own healing and transformation that I decided to quit my engineering career to become a psychotherapist.  I wanted to help other people heal as my therapist helped me.  Since then, hardly a day goes by when I am not grateful for the chance at healing my painful childhood experiences and the transformation that comes about.  Being a therapist is not a job but a calling.  I am passionate about what I do and am grateful that my clients entrust their hearts and souls in me.

I have been re-married for 28 years and we have a teenage son.
