You’re the one everyone
comes to. You’re not always
sure who you’d go to.
HI, I’M KRISTEN WONG,
a licensed mental health counselor working with people who think a lot, feel a lot, and have gotten very good at managing it all quietly.
My work is grounded in curiosity, cultural awareness, and respect for the values and experiences that make you who you are.
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
Before starting my private practice, I served as Director of Counseling at a recovery high school supporting teens impacted by trauma, emotional challenges, and difficult life circumstances.
That role taught me to sit with complexity, stay steady when things get hard, and to always look beneath behavior to understand the person.
I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Washington (1998) and M.A. in Counseling from Western Seminary (2002).
A BIT MORE ABOUT ME…
I'm myself in counseling—awkward and fun, grounded and calm. I want our sessions to be a space where you're comfortable saying the thing you almost didn't say.
EASY TO BE WITH
My experience with loss and hardship has given me a deep capacity to sit with the pain and struggles of others without turning away or trying to rush or fix.
RESILIENT & PATIENT
Perspective matters. We can be right and wrong at the same time. Hurt people hurt people. We can all use forgiveness. People can change.
