HT Chong

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) of Asian descent with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. I'm deeply passionate about the mental health field and committed to providing trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique story and resilience. I believe in the power of connection, presence, and authenticity in the healing process. I also have a deep love for the outdoors and often incorporate nature into my work, as I find it to be a powerful and effective form of experiential therapy. Whether we're exploring your inner world or using elements of the natural world for grounding and reflection, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, rooted in humanistic and existential principles that honor each person's unique story, strengths, and capacity for growth. I incorporate experiential techniques to help clients connect more deeply with their emotions and inner wisdom, while maintaining a solution-focused lens to support practical, meaningful change. I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering process-one where clients are active participants in their healing. I believe in meeting clients where they are, while gently challenging patterns that may be holding them back from growth or connection. I bring warmth and compassion to our work, while also offering appropriate challenges when necessary to encourage reflection, resilience, and progress toward your goals. Therapy with me is a partnership grounded in authenticity, curiosity, and trust, where we work together to cultivate deep self-awareness, resilience, and lasting change.

I offer individualized, strength-based support to children, adults, families, and couples, drawing on trauma-informed care to create a safe, respectful, and empowering therapeutic environment. In collaboration with clients, I support the processing of emotional experiences, the development of effective coping skills, and the navigation of a wide range of challenges including cultural adjustment, substance use, mental and behavioral health concerns, and complex relational dynamics. I emphasize open communication, conflict resolution, and self-exploration to foster deeper insight and personal growth. By honoring each client's unique story, values, and potential for growth, I strive to support healing, resilience, and meaningful change in ways that are both practical and personally transformative.
