Getting to know Alena Kwong

Welcome! I am a holistic psychotherapist with a background in yoga, meditation, wellness and Reiki. I address depressed and anxious emotions with a mind body spirit approach drawing upon ancient Eastern wisdom, Buddhism practices and through psychodynamic theory. Are you navigating a big life change and feeling lost? Do you feel fear and overthink your decisions and second guess yourself everyday? Are you feeling depressed and lonely even when there are so many people around you? Is it hard to switch that critical voice that's on all the time? Whether you deal with work/relationship related issues, perfectionism tendencies, low self confidence, overdoing and burnout, hurt from past traumas or shame - you'll find yourself in safe and nonjudgemental space for healing and emotional holding to take place.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is compassionate, nurturing and authentic. Hearing your story and what you've gone through means alot to me - I draw upon your experiences and therapy goals with what I feel would bring the best healing outcome for you. My sessions are catered around relational approaches (AEDP and Psychodynamic theory) , use of mindfulness and somatic practices (meditation, IFS, ACT) and a Buddhist/spiritual lens. I also utilize solution focused methods and thought reframing (SFBT /CBT) strategies to help you form practical skills and coping tools to face your challenges. You will leave my sessions feeling heard, seen and supported and find tools and perspectives that support your nervous system and mind. You will feel warmly cared for. We will work together to bring meaningfulness and ease into your life.
