J Pua Chang, PhD

Aloha mai kākou, Born and raised on Oʻahu, I am honored to serve my home community by supporting individuals and ʻohana through life's challenges with compassion, respect, and genuine care. My passion for this work is rooted in a deep belief in the strength, resilience, and potential within every person. I have specialized training and experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I integrate other evidence-based practices to meet each client's unique needs and goals. As a proud kānaka maoli psychologist, my work is grounded in both clinical training and the values of aloha, living pono, and the importance of ʻohana and community. I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to build on their strengths. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your ʻohana, I am committed to providing culturally responsive, evidence-based care that fosters healing, growth, resilience, and meaningful change. Naʻu me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, Dr. Pua
