Getting to know Barbara Wong
I have always been curious about what motivates people's behaviors and the science behind our bodies' responses to mental health barriers. I also deeply struggled with maintaining my own emotional well-being for much of my life because I was not aware of tools that could address my felt experiences. My journey to becoming a licensed therapist, including earning my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saybrook College, not only guided me in providing mental health support to others but also allowed me to cultivate my authentic self. Being in the field of mental health care continues to motivate me to explore different approaches and strategies tailored to each individual's journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe in a holistic and non-judgment approach to help clients feel heard during sessions. I aim to build a connection with my clients by exploring their authentic selves that is separate from their symptoms. By understanding unique hobbies, quirks, music tastes, cultural values, personal beliefs, career aspirations, and other parts of the client's personality, I am able to create an integrative journey to their healing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A strong and warm therapeutic relationship is essential for clients to get the best care out of therapy. I structure building therapeutic alliance by first having my client understand my clinical approach and the therapeutic journey. We will discuss symptoms, treatment goals, and therapy expectations to support client's confidence in therapy process. Throughout the process, I encourage a collaborative approach and client feedback to ensure I will create an equal, two-way professional relationship.
