Nicole Wong

Hello! My name is Nicole Wong (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York’s Hudson Valley. I offer therapy to help adults, adolescents, and children heal from trauma, overcome anxiety, and relinquish their self-doubt. Your voice deserves to be heard and listened to. I appreciate the opportunity to engage in this therapeutic process with you.

I earned my Masters of Science degree in Social Work at Columbia University in Advanced Clinical Practice with a focus on Health, Mental Health, and Disabilities. Previously, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and English from Vassar College.

In my work, I provide trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centered therapy to my clients, while integrating an empathic, intersectional, and holistic approach. My practice is grounded in allowing my clients to explore all aspects of their identities while working through their life experiences. It is important to me that you are in control of your therapeutic process and that our work together is collaborative in its approach and catered to meet your needs and goals.

Prior to my transition to being a therapist, I worked for ten years in trauma and anti-violence, university administration, and nonprofit management. For most of my professional career, I have helped individuals heal from trauma and loss and advocated for survivors in their communities. My foundations in trauma-informed approaches and advocacy remain a strong tenet of my work with clients today.

My work with you will involve helping you find practical tools as well as spending time addressing deeper wounds and emotions. My goal is to help you reclaim control of your story, develop new ways to cope, and cultivate a greater sense of agency in your life.
