I am licensed in the UK, with more than 12 years of professional work experience as a clinical psychologist. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. My background of being a Hong Konger, while having been trained and practiced in multicultural places including the New York city, allowed me to be well equipped for working with clients from diverse types of background. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

One word fantastic
Dr Chiang listens and provides constructive achievable goals. She provides a fresh new perspective to my anxieties and stressors. These have helped me cope better.
Simply amazing. I’ve grown so much since I started working with Dr Chiang. She listens to me and helps me by providing tools I need to grow.
Very compassionate, engaged, gentle. Very good at listening, and very, very patient. Nice person, kind, warm approach. Always has not only good therapeutic advice, but actual exercises that you can do related specifically to the hardships you are going through. Would recommend the most to hurt souls who need a compassionate listener to guide them through uncovering their pain and hurt to heal themselves. Validates trauma beautifully. Everybody's different, but for someone who's been through multiple therapists in the past, I have only the best things to say.
Dr. Sylvia helped me understand some thoughts I had were not healthy in the long run. I'm less anxious and am able to identify when I'm about to slip into that vicious cycle i often can't get out of. She's methodical, kind, and actively listens. She surprised me a few times when she asked to revisit something I said prior, or after I spoke at great length about certain things. While my previous therapist on betterhelp was helpful, she didn't help me understand how to recognize certain patterns or tendencies, and further my understanding of self. Any concerns I had before our first session were quickly washed away after said session. Thanks again Dr. Sylvia.
