Kwan-Ting Kong(He/Him/His)

We have seasons in our lives that are filled with stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, disappointment, grief, and even hopelessness. It can be overwhelming, getting stuck in a place where we cannot see a way forward, unable to change unwanted and repeated behaviors, unable to overcome patterns of procrastination and self-doubt. We may feel that no one seems to understand or able to help, feeling frustrated, unmotivated, discouraged, alone, and even ashamed. Or we may be going through transitions, significant changes in work, family, relationships, and are understandably overwhelmed with uncertainty and feelings of loss. If this has been your experience, there is help to walk towards healing and renewal.

He also draws from mindfulness-based therapy, which includes a focus on the present, practicing compassionate curiosity toward oneself when attending to the reactions of one's mind, heart, and body. He also incorporates parts work, which involves compassionate attending to all parts of themselves that people inadvertently ignore.
