Meet your Coach
I’m Kyla-Gaye Chang, Psy.D, the founder of Pursuing Eden Mental Health Coaching. I help teenagers and adults find peace and mental wholeness through faith-based, holistic healing.
How Pursuing Eden Coaching is Different
My approach to mental health coaching is Christ-centered, holistic, and restorative. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or past wounds, I help you experience true healing—mentally, physically, and spiritually—through God, the Great Healer.
Through a practical and faith-based process, you will learn how to renew your mind, strengthen your relationship with God, and adopt lifestyle habits that support lasting peace and wholeness. The result isn’t just feeling better—it’s becoming equipped to live with clarity, purpose, and confidence long after coaching ends.
As we work together the goal is not lifelong dependence on coaching, but short-term, transformational support that empowers you to move forward healed, grounded, and free.
What You Can Expect From Working With Me
A present-focused, future-oriented approach that supports growth rather than reliving the past
Holistic strategies that address mental, physical, and spiritual health together
Practical tools drawn from nutrition, movement, cognitive-behavioral principles, and biblical truth
A strengths-based process that builds on what God is already doing in your life
A compassionate, safe, faith-based space for learning, reflection, and renewal
Christ-centered healing rooted in Scripture, prayer, and God’s design for the mind and body
Clients often experience healthier thought patterns, restored relationships—with God and others—and a renewed sense of purpose that positively impacts their families and communities.
Coaching, Not Therapy
Unlike traditional therapy, my coaching does not diagnose or treat mental illness. Instead, it focuses on education, mindset renewal, lifestyle alignment, and spiritual growth, helping you overcome challenges such as anxiety, stress, and depression by addressing root causes and supporting God-designed healing.
This is coaching designed to help you heal, grow, and move forward—not stay stuck or dependent.
Education and Experience
I hold a doctorate in Organizational Psychology and health coaching certifications. Prior to helping clients transform their mental health, I helped a variety of companies prepare their employees, managers and senior executives for company-wide change, for over 13 years. I’m passionate about coaching people through tailored change action plans that supports their mental, emotional and work goals.
Holistic, faith-based remedies work. I know, because not only have I seen their power in my clients, but I first experienced healing using these remedies in my own mental health journey. After trying traditional approaches, I found these helped me achieve the true transformation I was seeking—freedom from anxiety and depression.
Healing is possible when we align the mind, body, and spirit with God’s natural design. My role is to guide, encourage, and equip you with tools to thrive, not just survive. Through compassionate coaching, practical lifestyle shifts, and faith-based principles, I’ve witnessed people discover peace of mind, renewed health, and deeper trust in God.
