Getting to know Eileen Tong

Eileen Tong, LMSW, works with high-achieving professionals from immigrant and minority backgrounds navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, career pressure, and life transitions shaped by family and cultural expectations. With over a decade of experience in senior corporate roles across tech and finance, she brings firsthand understanding of demanding professional environments and the complex relationship between achievement, identity, financial security, and self-worth. Her approach is practical, values-driven, collaborative, and goal-oriented.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You may appear successful on the outside while feeling burned out, anxious, or uncertain about where you're heading. Perhaps you push through exhaustion, feel guilty when you rest, or wonder whether the life and career you've built are truly what you want. Family expectations, cultural identity, and financial responsibility may make these questions even harder to navigate. Eileen creates a calm, collaborative space to explore the gap between what you want and what you feel you should want. Her goal is to help you gain clarity, understand the pressures shaping your choices, and define success in a way that feels more sustainable and genuinely your own.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Eileen begins by understanding what's bringing you to therapy, the pressures you're currently navigating, and what you would like to change. Together, you'll identify patterns related to workplace stress, perfectionism, career transitions, cultural and family expectations, or financial anxiety that may be keeping you stuck. Her work integrates Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Sessions balance reflection with practical strategies, helping you clarify your values, make more intentional decisions, and translate insight into realistic, sustainable change.
