Services
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions create a safe space for clients to address trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders. Using evidence-based techniques like EMDR and clinical hypnosis, we help clients develop coping skills and resolve deep-seated emotional barriers. Each personalized treatment plan focuses on restoring mental well-being and building resilience for future challenges.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses relational dynamics and intergenerational trauma patterns affecting household members. Through structured sessions, we help families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and establish healthier interaction patterns. Our approach considers cultural backgrounds and focuses on creating sustainable positive changes in family systems.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps clients process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. This evidence-based modality uses bilateral stimulation to reprocess distressing experiences, particularly effective for developmental and relational traumas. Sessions follow standardized protocols to ensure safe and effective trauma resolution.
Bilingual Services
Dr. David Hong provides comprehensive mental health services in both English and Spanish for immigrant populations. These sessions address cultural considerations and language barriers that may affect treatment. Bilingual services ensure Spanish-speaking clients receive culturally competent care tailored to their unique experiences.
Chemical Health Interventions
Our chemical health interventions address substance abuse and dependency issues through integrated treatment approaches. We help clients understand addiction patterns, develop relapse prevention strategies, and address co-occurring mental health conditions. Therapy focuses on rebuilding healthy coping mechanisms and supporting long-term recovery.
