Getting to know Crystal Fong
Are you grappling with indecision, unsure if therapy is the right path for you? Do you often find yourself torn between handling your challenges independently and seeking professional assistance? Whether you're new to mental health care or have experience, whether societal attitudes have ingrained a sense of shame around therapy, you're wrestling with deep-seated issues, or simply yearning for greater self-awareness and personal growth—rest assured, therapy holds the key for you. It’s a transformative tool that can bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. Step beyond uncertainty, embrace the clinical yet empathetic guidance of therapy, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.
I strive to genuinely connect with my clients by creating a safe, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic space. I celebrate all cultures and recognize that everyone lives within a unique context, so treatment should be tailored accordingly. Especially for those from immigrant backgrounds or cultures where mental health is less discussed, I hope to provide a space where you can explore these topics and share your authentic self. I utilize a person-centered, integrative approach drawing from psychodynamic, CBT, trauma-informed therapy, dance movement therapy, and the human-animal bond.
Through this approach, you will learn more about yourself, how you relate to others and to yourself (self-compassion), and develop healthy coping skills to manage both short- and long-term stressors.
I am Crystal, a Mental Health Counselor, Limited Permit holder. I earned my Master’s in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Chicago. Prior to counseling, I worked as a Customer Success Manager and Account Manager at various healthcare and corporate catering tech start-ups for several years.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I offer a collaborative, supportive space tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel understood and empowered as we explore challenges, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We start by exploring your history, culture, and goals, while easing any hesitations about therapy. From there, we use talk therapy to reflect, identify patterns, and build strategies together—adapting along the way so the process stays effective and supportive.
