Cynthia Fong

My communication style

My counseling style is down-to-earth, compassionate, and caring. I believe in honesty, treating everyone with dignity and respect, and maintaining an open mind. I create a nonjudgmental, empathetic atmosphere where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a former young parent who has experienced challenging life experiences, I became a therapist because I truly believe everyone deserves to be loved and supported according to their unique needs.

My goals for you

First, we'll identify what led you to seek therapy and build rapport. Then, we'll collaboratively define clear goals with measurable outcomes to track your progress. Goals often evolve over time, so we'll regularly review and update them as an essential part of the therapeutic process.

Our first session

You may feel a mix of excitement and nervousness—this is common. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, review consent and confidentiality, and address any questions. I'll ask about yourself, your coping mechanisms, and your symptoms. This openness with a stranger can feel surprising, especially if you haven't been so candid with others.
