I had a great first appointment with Dr. Kong. I felt like he really understood what I was saying and was able to put into words the feelings I was having and what I was experiencing. He provided a great balance of allowing me to talk, asking questions, and giving me feedback and insight. He was warm, nonjudgmental and empathetic. I look forward to my next visit with him.

I followed Dr. Kong to his new practice because of all the progress I have made in our sessions together. He provides a safe environment where I feel I can communicate & explore difficult situations I have experienced and work towards understanding, growth, and change.

More about Dr. Brian Kong, PsyD
I provide individual and couples therapy to adults presenting with various issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or stress. I utilize a variety of therapeutic styles in my treatment approach including humanistic, relational and psychodynamic based approaches. I also make use of emotion-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioral-based approaches when working with couples and symptomatic issues, respectively.
Across all therapeutic modalities I aim to maintain a safe space, which allows both therapist and client to collaborate and engage in natural conversation. I believe it is through these interactions where a relationship can be developed and certain insights come to light. In our work together, clients are able to learn more about their relational patterns, both through the experience of retelling their stories as well as firsthand within therapeutic interactions. As these insights provide opportunity for better understanding of current difficulties, ultimately, meaningful and empowered change can be pursued.
Please note that if you need to make a cancellation you must provide at least 24 hours notice prior to your appointment time in order to avoid the missed session fee.

Brian is attentive and generous with his time and energy. He has challenged me to make difficult choices that have made me a healthier person but has never taken away my agency or made me feel belittled. Brian takes a compassionate yet practical approach to therapy that I really appreciate as a college student.

I enjoyed my visit. Brian always makes me feel comfortable to be at my most vulnerable and not judge me. I feel like he actually cares, yet is able to maintain good professionalism. I've tried numerous therapists but Brian was the only one I stuck with because of how much trust and respect I have with him.
