Tracy Wang
Psychologist
About
Tracy is a Psychologist trained in Melbourne and is a member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPS). During her training as a clinician, she has assisted clients in the justice system mainly with their substance abuse and offending behaviour, but also presented with a range of complex mental health presentations.
Tracy is authentic and warm towards her clients. She holds positive regard, and believes in helping clients to manage their unresolved issues to maximise their growth as well as to improve their emotional and mental wellbeing. Tracy’s non-judgemental approach sees that she tends to build rapport and trust readily with clients. This provides clients with a sense of safety in therapy and helps to achieve optimal psychological outcome.
Tracy is interested in helping clients with a wide range of difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, attachment and family issues, interpersonal relationships, anger management, workplace issues, personality disturbance, career and life coaching, life and career transition, identity, and self-esteem.
In addition to the above, coming from a Chinese immigrant family herself, Tracy is deeply passionate about working with clients from the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds. She appreciates immensely the importance of cultural understanding in therapy, and how this contributes to change and progress in therapy. With this in mind, Tracy is interested in helping clients with both the unique challenges that arise from their own culture and identity, as well as cross-cultural difficulties within self and in the community.
