Hello, my friends, are you feeling a little down, or feeling overwhelmed? Are you a teen or young adult who feels lost or in need of guidance. I have some openings and am looking to fill them. Sorry, I am an ONLINE therapist only, I find once people give it a try they don't mind it. If you want to try it, I offer a free 15 minute trial session. I work well with people who like to talk and find that is a part of their process. Do you find therapy too clinical and would like a little humor? I do my best to find that balance. If you just don't know what you need, I hope you will let me guide you to the right answer.

In my practice, I always start with genuine empathy to create a safe, nonjudgmental space. My therapeutic approach is action-oriented and primarily present-focused. What are you doing right now that is contributing to your desired outcome? My eclectic treatment interventions pull from behavioral, cognitive, motivational interviewing, and superhero therapy perspectives. I work together with my clients to find a strategy that specifically addresses their needs. Through helping develop coping skills, healthy boundaries and positive self-talk mantras, I empower my clients to face and overcome the obstacles in their path.

For over 30 years, I have provided psychotherapy to adults. People from all walks of life need help at some point. Some are struggling with anxiety or depression or have experienced something traumatic and can't seem to move on from it. Others come because a relationship is in trouble and they need help to repair and restore it or they are seeking support to survive the break-up. Still others are dealing with issues of grief and loss, burnout, codependency, traumatic childhoods and addictions. With the pandemic, everything is heightened: our fears, our struggles, even our ability to be kind to ourselves and parent our children.

I have completed an internship at Bellevue Hospital in NYC and a post-doctoral institute on the psychology of trauma from the Maryland Psychological Association.

It's not often people get to say how much they enjoy their work, but I do. As the co-founder of Insight Into Action Therapy, I get to meet fascinating people and assist them as they navigate through tough times. I do so through individual and family therapy. In addition, I facilitate several groups, primarily our Dual Diagnosis Recovery Program which is designed to help individuals with co-occuring substance abuse and mental health problems. Besides therapy, I provide community educations and lectures on various topics impacting individuals and the society as a whole.

Your program may include a combination of group, individual, family, and couples therapy, case management, education, relapse prevention, and drug/alcohol testing.

Deciding to start therapy is a difficult choice to make. I know it takes courage to open up to someone new. Therefore, my priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for exploration, learning and trying out new skills, and for healing. My approach to therapy is trauma informed, science based and adaptable to clients’ needs. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness-based approaches like Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

Dr. Wong specializes in working with children with autism spectrum disorders (e.g., Autism, Asperger's Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified), disruptive behavioral disorders (e.g., Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder), anxiety disorder, mood disorders (e.g., Depression, Bipolar Disorder), Tourette's Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and learning issues in the schools through therapy and psychological evaluations.

Anger, anxiety, attention difficulties, depression, and post-traumatic stress are factors that can negatively impact relationships, academic/job performance, and mood. I use a cognitive-behavioral and client-centered approach to help clients: communicate better, change problematic patterns, cope more efficiently, make good choices, and improve the quality of their relationships. I draw upon each client's strengths in all the work I do with them.

Everyone has the strength and capacity to change. As humans, we occasionally get stuck in unhelpful ways of thinking or behavioral patterns. As a counselor, my goal is to create a safe space for reflection and help you develop skills so that you can be better equipped when confronted with life’s difficulties.

My ideal client is someone that is ready to work toward wellness. This person will likely be between 18 and 45. The root issue will be a lack of satisfaction with life as it is currently experienced and as a result the person will need assistance with identifying goals. The client will need support and encouragement to achieve the goals, which I'll gladly provide.

I love what I do! We can turn your insights into action for addictions, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. We may use individual, family, or group therapy, relapse prevention, education, medication, or MAT. I co-developed the Dual Diagnosis Recovery Program for people struggling with both a mental health and drug/alcohol issue to help you based on where you are in your recovery process. Recovery does not always mean abstinence. I designed the Alcohol Moderation Assessment to help you determine your relationship with alcohol and have written three books on three books about alternative approaches to alcohol treatment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults and families. I have worked in a variety of clinical and community settings supporting clients and their families.
