ABOUT DR. FULLCHANGE

Dr. Aileen Fullchange is a Taiwanese-American, multilingual licensed psychologist and founder of Fullchange Therapy, providing online trauma therapy, couples therapy, and relationship therapy for teens, adults, couples, families, and polyamorous relationships in California, New York, Texas, and Washington in English and Spanish. She specializes in complex trauma, developmental trauma, attachment trauma, relationship conflict, emotional disconnection, trust, boundaries, anxiety, burnout, and racial, cultural, intergenerational, and systemic trauma.

​

Dr. Fullchange is committed to providing culturally responsive, identity-affirming therapy for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, queer, transgender, nonbinary, multicultural, interracial, and consensually nonmonogamous clients and relationships. Her approach recognizes that mental health and relationship patterns are shaped not only by individual experiences, but also by culture, family history, race, gender, sexuality, migration, and systems of privilege and marginalization.

​

Her therapy integrates Somatic Experiencing (SE), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Counseling, parts and inner-child work, and strengths-based approaches. She uses trauma-informed and somatic approaches to help clients understand the patterns underlying conflict, regulate their nervous systems, heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, establish healthy boundaries, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

​

Dr. Fullchange brings nearly 20 years of experience across psychology, education, family support, and racial equity. She earned her Ph.D. in Counseling, Clinical & School Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she received a Doctoral Scholars Fellowship. She completed her predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at Momentous Institute in Dallas, Texas, later becoming a staff psychologist and supervisor of doctoral and master's-level psychology trainees.

​

Before founding Fullchange Therapy, Dr. Fullchange worked as a public school teacher and school leader, school psychologist, educational consultant, clinical psychologist, supervisor, and speaker. She has published and presented on trauma, social-emotional health, burnout, empathy, resilience, race and anti-racism, and identity at the intersection of mental health and education.
