Michelle Jiang

Michelle is a Clinical Psychologist whose area of interest and expertise is in the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, such as Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, Specific Phobias, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Aside from private practice, Michelle works part-time as a Clinical Psychologist at WSLHD Anxiety Treatment and Research Unit, an outpatient anxiety disorders specialist clinic at Cumberland Hospital, where she works extensively with adults presenting with severe anxiety disorders and complex comorbid issues. Michelle’s treatment approach is primarily based on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), due to the strong research evidence for its efficacy.

She is also trained in other evidence-based therapy approaches, such as Schema Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which she draws upon to formulate individualised treatment plans for her clients. Michelle has several research publications in peer-reviewed journals from her PhD. She has also been invited to provide workshops and presentations on CBT and anxiety disorders to other health professionals. She is a member of Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA), and also a member of the organising committee of the Anxiety Practitioners’ Network (APN).
