Hello. What is your story? How have your experiences shaped you? Where are you stuck and where would you like to be heading? As a traveler, a mom, and a mental health professional for 25 years, I have been honored to listen to the incredible stories of so many people. I have worked with children, adolescents, families, and adults, listening to sadness and joy and stories that are filled with lessons and hope. And let's be honest, this past year, we have experienced a collective sadness that has shaped our lives and connected us to each other even while feeling more and more disconnected. I know the search for a therapist that meets your needs, and with whom you feel comfortable with is as unique as your own personal story. But you have taken the first step and I'm happy you are here. Through Cognitive-Behavioral and Strengths Based Therapy, I hope to listen to your story and walk with you in the process of using your inner knowledge to enrich your life. I hope to balance negative self-talk and doubt with compassion and tools for moving through difficult transitions, and emotions. I am trained in trauma-focused work and am sensitive to sexual and gender identity, cultural dynamics, systemic racism and struggles in parenting, relationships, and self-worth. I wish you great growth and wellness in the years to come. Warmly, Amy Johnson Chong, LCSW

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
