Getting to know Celena Chong

Dr. Celena S. Chong views therapy as a journey toward self-actualization. She works from solution-focused, evidence-based approaches to help clients gain new perspectives and access their inner strengths. Her approach is assertive yet warm, helping clients consciously notice defense mechanisms so they can make intentional choices. I am a licensed clinical therapist with a doctoral degree from NYU and a master’s degree from Columbia University. I provide therapy in multiple states, including MA, NJ, NY, VA, and FL. I have extensive experience offering individual psychotherapy to adults experiencing anxiety and depression, borderline personality disorder, CPTSD, and addiction disorders. My passion is helping others find meaning and fulfillment in their lives through therapy grounded in the principles of restorative justice.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
