Getting to know Dr. Sidai Dong

Feeling stressed, anxious, or burned out? Facing big changes in life? Having relationship issues? Struggling with study, work, or daily life events? In my clinical work, I have learned that people often struggle with psychological problems because they find it difficult to achieve balance in life. This includes balancing expectations and realities, others’ expectations and clients’ values, work and family, and more. Balancing life looks different for each person, depending on many client variables and other contextual factors. Each person’s experiences are unique and require an embrace of flexibility. I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Texas A&M University, which has equipped me to support clients in navigating these challenges with empathy and expertise. I don't prescribe medication.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I don't prescribe medication. I view therapy as a collaborative experience. I want to create a safe, warm, and supportive environment and provide clients individualized opportunities to explore their values, find strength and flexibility, and balance between acceptance and changes.In these intimate therapeutic processes, I see my role as a listener, a helper, a monitor, and cheerleader. I hope to take my clients on a journey where they get to grow and explore themselves. I hope to assist them in finding autonomy, making decisions for themselves, and working hard to fulfill their goals. I also hope to show them the importance of a sense of belonging and fostering warmth, love, and care.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I often use Integrative therapy in my practice, I also focusing on person-centered, multicultural and evidence-based approaches such as ACT, CBT, and DBT. I also utilize insight-oriented, strengths-based, relational, and self-compassion approaches. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.
