Wen Chang-Lit, Certified Creative Arts Therapist

Hi, I’m Wen.

Licensed creative arts therapist. Trauma specialist. Music Therapist. 

Musician. Immigrant. Mama to three biracial kiddos. And someone who knows what it means to feel like you have to hold it all together.

I support people who feel deeply. Who carry too much for too long. Who are ready to come home to themselves.

I help people who’ve been carrying invisible pain for a long time—adult children of emotionally immature parents, Asian Americans navigating identity wounds, parents trying to break generational cycles, anyone living with the imprint of trauma in their body, or young people struggling to make sense of a world that feels overwhelming.

If you’re here, I imagine you’re someone who feels a lot. Someone who’s been strong for others, even when it cost you parts of yourself. Someone who’s done the work—and still knows there’s something deeper calling to be healed.

That’s where our work begins. 

My work weaves together science and soul.

I specialize in helping people heal from acute and developmental trauma—supporting the nervous system, transforming self-beliefs, and gently shifting emotional and relational patterns that were once about survival.

When trauma isn’t processed, it gets stored in the body. It can show up as chronic pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive issues, or a constant feeling of being unsafe—even when life looks okay on the outside.

I blend EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and expressive arts.This means we don’t just talk about your experiences—we listen to your body, your parts, your inner knowing.

We move at your pace, with curiosity and care.

Healing with me might look like:

• Go beyond just talking about what happened
• Connect with the younger parts of you that are still stuck in the past
• Use your body’s own wisdom to release stored trauma
• Gently build safety, clarity, and self-trust from the inside out
• Mapping the protective parts of you that carry pain and perfectionism
• Using gentle bilateral stimulation (like tapping) to reprocess trauma
• Singing, drawing, or moving when words feel too hard
• Learning to feel your feelings without getting swallowed by them

It’s deep work—but it doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. There’s room here for play, creativity, and breath.

This work is personal for me.

I was born and raised in Taiwan in a culture that valued obedience, achievement, and emotional restraint. I learned to be quiet, hardworking, and good. But music gave me something different: a place to feel. A place to be fully myself.

After immigrating to the U.S. at 14, I experienced depression and an eating disorder—struggling to belong in a world that didn’t yet make room for my voice. When words weren’t enough, music became my lifeline. That experience shaped everything I do now as a therapist.

Healing isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about coming home to the parts of you that were never broken.

I’d be honored to walk with you.
