Getting to know Aquino Chhong

My name is Aquino Chhong, and I am a marriage and family therapist who believes in helping people identify and work on the changes they want to make. I am experienced in working with depression, anxiety, life stress, life transitions, trauma, and grief. I earned my Master's in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling from California State University, Sacramento. My main approach is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, grounded in the belief that when people change themselves-their approaches, interactions with others, or perspectives-their lives will change in turn. I typically work with adult and adolescent individuals, with more experience working with adults. I also have experience providing family therapy. Because opening up can be difficult, I strive to create a space where people feel safe to talk and know that, although I am the therapist, I am not the expert on their life. I follow your pace, gently pushing or being direct when needed. However, I want to note that I do not provide letter writing services. My initial interest in becoming a therapist was not sparked by a single event; I simply enjoyed one of my college classes and could see myself doing this work long-term. I have stayed committed through the ups and downs because witnessing people's moments of change is deeply rewarding. When discussing goals with clients, I ask directly, ?How do you know you will be done with therapy? What in your life will be different from now?? The first session is mainly a ?get to know you? meeting, where we also review paperwork. We discuss what brings you to therapy, a brief history, your goals, and you have a chance to ask me questions about myself and my experience. The purpose is to ensure we are a good fit-you feel comfortable working with me, and I feel I can help you.
