Sara Chung is a psychologist who cares for children, teens and young adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), behavior issues, and mood or anxiety disorders. She uses a range of treatment methods, including parent management training, parent-child interaction therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure and response prevention. She offers individual, family and group therapy.

Her work with CLS includes developing digital tools and other methods to make ADHD treatments more available and effective in community settings. She also conducts research on Asian American mental health to learn how health care systems, communities and families can help young Asian Americans get support when they need it.
