For most of my 20’s, I was medicated for anxiety, out of touch with my emotions and body, had low self-worth, struggled with burnout and perfectionism, and was stuck in toxic relationships (hello, anxious-avoidant cycles). Having gone through this, I understand how hard it can be to break free from old patterns.

I took everything I’ve learned from years of clinical training during my Ph.D in Clinical Psychology and my own healing journey and turned it into an illustrated book that’s as warm and relatable as it is helpful. My first book, This Book is a Safe Space, hit #1 in multiple categories on Amazon (yay! thank you for supporting my work 💜).

Inside, you’ll find science-backed therapy strategies to help you calm your body, navigate emotions, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and reconnect with your authentic self. It’s like having a cozy, non-judgmental friend who also happens to know a lot about psychology—right there whenever you need it.

So get comfy, hit the kettle, and grab a copy for yourself (and your bestie) ☕️

Hi! I’m Dr. Amy Tran.

I’m the face behind doodledwellness - a social media account where I share insights from therapy, psychology, and the pursuit of wellness. I’m also a clinical psychologist (supervised practice), doodler, mom, author, and a millennial who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stuffy or boring. With a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology and a background in visual and creative arts, I help you feel safe, learn about yourself, break old patterns, and consciously recreate your life. You deserve it 💜

After all, the greatest doodle we create is the life we live - and the human living it.
