Kristina Chong LRC

Kristina Chong is a Licensed Resident in Counseling through the Virginia Board of Counseling who has been practicing since 2021. She graduated from Yorkville University with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. Kristina's passion lies within her desire to help people learn how to balance, control, and excel in their lives no matter the challenges that they may face and no matter their age. She has a desire to aid those who find themselves struggling with challenges ranging from anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, to grief and loss. Kristina utilizes a humanistic approach through the use of Gestalt therapy. In sessions, she freely incorporates the use of homework through various methods including cognitive-behavioral worksheets, grounding exercises, mindfulness, and more. Her favorite methods are the ones that her clients suggest for themselves, as she believes that with a little reflection each individual can create their own helpful goals that will promote growth and change throughout the week. Kristina knows that life is complicated and that sometimes the road toward your goal has a lot of surprising twists and turns.
