Meet the Therapist!
Hello! My name is Lina Hong and I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker/therapist. I have a strong interest in helping individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, substance use, self-esteem, and relationship issues.
How Can I Help You?
I am passionate about helping people and in therapy, I let clients guide me to their goals. Or if you don’t know your exact goals, that’s okay too! I’m here to be a listening ear as well as to challenge your thoughts. My therapeutic approach is Person Centered and Strengths Based. I often use evidence based approaches including Harm Reduction, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT). I also enjoy using various forms of art such as writing, coloring, drawing, painting, etc., while working with clients.
Working on one’s mental health can be difficult and exhausting. However with support and grace, one can work through the various life challenges that they face. I am a huge proponent of meeting the client where they are at, but also challenging clients when they need a little push. I value therapy environments that are safe, respectful, and inviting. Mental health is a lifelong process, but I hope to help you through this season of your life!
In my culture, mental health was/is not spoken about very often. However through my own mental health journey, I’ve found therapy to be an extremely useful tool. Aside from my love of the mental health field, I enjoy diamond painting, building legos, and playing with my two cats (Zoey & Bubba).
I really like ax throwing as a hobby!
