Getting to know Christina Wong
My name is Christina Wong, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California since 2007. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Hull. I use an eclectic, person-centered, and humanistic approach to meet clients where they are. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, with particular interest in immigrants or children of immigrant families to the United States.
My approach
Empathy, genuineness, and authenticity are the cornerstones of building safe and trusting therapeutic experiences. Being person-centered and trauma-informed, my goal is to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves, heal from life wounds, and expand their resources to cope with life stressors so they can live content and fulfilling lives. My over two decades of clinical experience have allowed me to be trained in many clinical interventions and modalities. Trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy are my most frequently used approaches to facilitate change in clients.
My focus
In my 23 years of mental health practice, I have had the honor to work with people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. My current focus is working with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, life stressors, stage-of-life issues, immigration, acculturation, and family and relational struggles. My bilingual and bicultural background makes me particularly effective in treating immigrants or the children of immigrant families in the United States.
My communication style
Using empathetic responses and validation, I create a safe, accepting, and trusting environment for clients to express their struggles. I respect clients' unique perspectives and listen to their stories non-judgmentally. When clients feel heard, seen, and understood, they are empowered to create new and positive experiences in relationships with self and others and increase their capacity to face life stressors.
