Sidai Dong

Feeling stressed, anxious, or burn out? Facing big changes in life? Having relationship issues? Struggling with study, work, or daily life events? In my clinical work, I learned that people often struggle with psychological problems because they struggle to find balance in life. These include the balance between 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 novel and require an embracement of flexibility.
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. Please email me to schedule your first appointment!
