Kristen Wong, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, offering online therapy and clinical supervision in Washington State

WHO I AM AS A

LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR

I provide therapy that helps people understand themselves more clearly and respond to life with more steadiness.

COUNSELING STRENGTHS & STYLE

I notice patterns in how people think, feel, and relate, and help bring clarity to what may be keeping them stuck. My style is warm, honest, and direct—grounded in curiosity, cultural awareness, and respect for each person’s values.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

Before starting my private practice, I served as Director of Counseling at a high school supporting teens with complex emotional and life challenges.

That work shaped my ability to stay steady in difficult moments and help people feel understood rather than fixed.

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…

EASY TO BE WITH

I value authenticity and kindness, and aim to create a space where people feel comfortable being themselves.

STEADY & GROUNDED

I believe people can hold complexity—pain, growth, confusion, and strength at the same time. My work is rooted in staying present with that complexity rather than rushing to fix it.

RESILIENCE THROUGH EXPERIENCE

Personal loss and life events have shaped my understanding of grief, change, and resilience. These experiences inform my ability to sit with people in difficult moments with steadiness and care.

I BELIEVE

Perspective matters. We can be right and wrong at the same time. Hurt people hurt people. We can all use forgiveness. People can change.
