About me

I am a graduate of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, an APA-accredited program, in Chicago. I take a client-centered, strengths-based perspective while integrating evidence-based approaches while working with individuals in therapy. It's important that I am present with my clients and equip them with the skills that they need to help them move towards goals. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and a variety of treatment settings including but not limited to private practice, community mental health, residential treatment, hospitals, and schools.

Additionally, I've co-authored a research article entitled "When Diagnostic Labels Mask Trauma," as well as a book chapter (“Exploring the Healing Powers of Hip-Hop: Increasing Therapeutic Efficacy, Utilizing the Hip-Hop Culture as an Alternative Platform for Expression and Connection”). I have also presented at a number of professional conferences to share my work related to utilizing multicultural and experiential approaches, as well as disseminating information with his research team about the subjective experiences of adolescents.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sidney Dang. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

He’s an amazing therapist. I’ve gone rounds with a few others that I felt did a good job but didn’t connect with me as I feel they only listened (which I’m thankful for) but didn’t give much advice or means of help. Dr.Dang however has offered many coping methods as well as ways to move forward. I’m extremely thankful for him.

Dr Dang is everything I never knew I’ve always needed in a therapist. His knowledge, insight, and ability to connect and inspire growth in me has been profound. I feel nothing but gratitude for him and all the ways he has helped me find the better version of myself.
