Connie Chang

Just Smile

We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Chang. She is a board-certified psychiatrist in both child, adolescent and adult general psychiatric medicine. She works full time at Children’s Hospital of Alabama as an inpatient psychiatric attending, but we are fortunate to also have her on our staff part time.

Dr. Chang is most proud of achieving her dream since high school of becoming a child adolescent psychiatrist. The daughter of immigrant parents in a small rural town in Alabama, she is grateful she was able to achieve her dreams. She jokes it’s truly amazing because she plays all day, because no one likes paperwork.

We love having Dr. Chang as a part of our team. She brings a lighthearted kindness and joyful spirit, creating a safe space for the clients she serves. Dr. Chang is down to earth and has a gentle and compassionate soul, as well as being a great listener. She helps individuals find recovery by helping them get into a headspace where they can be successful – with or without medicine.

She believes no matter how much someone is struggling in their own life, that they can find recovery and is happy to be their cheerleader when they lack confidence or feel that no one is on their side.

A native of Dothan, Alabama, Dr. Chang always thought she would travel away from the state but has found her life and her home to be here in unexpected ways. The perfect Saturday finds her spending time with her husband and children and the occasional much needed nap. She loves swimming, hiking and all things outdoors.
