Hong is a great therapist. She understands what I’m going through as a middle aged man and has been really helpful in easing my mind by helping me understand what I’m going through while helping me be introspective about my marital problems and how I can think about them too better ease my mind. No therapist can solve your problems, but they can help you to understand what the root causes within your own mindset is and help you find coping mechanisms to better deal with them.

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.

I appreciate Hong’s wisdom, insight, and instincts. Highly recommend!
intelligent as she is empathetic. i appreciate all the insight you've provided; putting words to emotions i couldn't properly convey. thank you so much!
I have only had a few meetings with Hong, however I can say for sure that she has offered the most genuine and sincere support from any mental health practitioner. I really appreciate her tact and thoughtful introspection, while being extremely positive. In a few hours, I feel that I have a better understanding of what I have been fighting for and against mentally. She is offering lots of tools, encouragement, and knowledge on how to get through it productively despite my depth of pain and grief. To each their own with therapy, but if I can do one thing it’s recommend her for those that think they might have just not found the right person to speak to yet. I look forward to speaking to her more, and hope she thrives in her businesses.
Very understanding and personable.
My therapist understands my situation and provides community resources that is helpful to me.
Hong is a warm and caring person which added to her use of her therapy training makes her an excellent therapist.
Hong was fantastic, I have no complaints.
