Chong Concannon

My communication style

I’m warm and collaborative, but also direct when it matters. I’ll honor your experiences while helping you challenge patterns shaped by past experiences, family, or culture. Therapy with me is real: I balance compassion, accountability, curiosity, and humility, all the while leaving room for our full humanity and humor. And yes, cursing is allowed.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a 1.5-generation Korean American raised between cultures, I know the tension of navigating values and expectations that often clash. I focus my work and advocacy on helping Asian Americans reconcile conflicting identities with compassion, truth, and courage. I also mentor emerging Asian American therapists.

My goals for you

Rather than focusing on goals, I help clients explore intentions and meaning. We move away from the pressure to perform or “fix” and strive toward curiosity, understanding, and connection with your story. My role is to guide you in meeting your authentic self and living with deeper alignment and freedom, not just improvement.

Our first session

Our first session is a time to slow down and share what’s been weighing on you. I’ll ask questions about your past and present to understand your story and how you move through the world. We’ll also talk about my approach to therapy, if it fits who you are and what you need, and what healing might begin to look like for you here.
