What Dr. Wen treats

Thoughtful care for a wide range of emotional and relational challenges.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety, depression, and trauma are among the most prevalent mental health concerns — and among the most responsive to evidence-based therapy. Dr. Wen brings research-backed approaches together with genuine warmth and cultural depth.

Anxiety & Worry

Persistent anxiety, social anxiety, panic, and generalized worry that interferes with daily functioning and relationships. See also: anxiety counseling at MindLift.

Depression & Mood

Low mood, loss of motivation, emotional flatness, and the persistent heaviness that affects work, relationships, and quality of life. See also: depression counseling at MindLift.

Trauma Recovery

PTSD, complex trauma, and the lasting emotional effects of difficult or frightening experiences. Dr. Wen uses trauma-informed approaches grounded in safety and stabilization. See also: trauma therapy at MindLift.

Identity & Life Transitions

Navigating major changes — career, relationship, immigration, cultural identity, and the work of figuring out who you are and what you value at different stages of life.

Relationship Challenges

Recurring conflict, communication breakdowns, attachment patterns, and difficulties in romantic, family, or professional relationships. See also: couples therapy at MindLift.

Cross-Cultural & Bicultural Stress

The emotional complexity of navigating multiple cultural identities — acculturative stress, belonging, family expectations, and the experience of being caught between worlds.

Dr. Wen Chong therapy approach — EFT, ACT, and interpersonal process
Dr. Wen’s approach

You already possess the capacity for meaningful change.

Dr. Wen’s therapeutic approach integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and interpersonal process work — all woven together by a common thread of compassion. Together, she and her clients work toward building a different relationship with distress, deepening their sense of self, and living in greater alignment with their values.

Wen sees the therapeutic relationship itself as an important part of the work — a space where interpersonal patterns can be explored, understood, and transformed in ways that strengthen how clients relate to both others and themselves.

Cultural humility is central to her practice. Your identity, heritage, and lived experiences are not merely the backdrop of your story; they are essential to who you are. She asks thoughtful questions, acknowledges what she may not yet know, and approaches your narrative with deep respect and sincere willingness to explore alongside you. Outside of clinical work, Wen is a devoted coffee and tea enthusiast, an enthusiastic cook, and someone who enjoys meaningful conversations about travel and culture.
