Healing is possible.
Psychotherapy in the Hudson Valley
I can help.
I want to support you towards growth and empowerment.
Nicole Wong, LCSW
Hello! My name is Nicole Wong (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York’s Hudson Valley. I offer therapy to help adults, adolescents, and children heal from trauma, overcome anxiety, and relinquish their self-doubt. Your voice deserves to be heard and listened to. I appreciate the opportunity to engage in this therapeutic process with you.
My work with you will involve helping you find practical tools as well as spending time addressing deeper wounds and emotions. My goal is to help you reclaim control of your story, develop new ways to cope, and cultivate a greater sense of agency in your life.
Areas of Practice
My goal is to help you better navigate the waves of emotion that are holding you back.
Do you find yourself feeling like waves of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and/or trauma continue to knock you off your feet? Does it feel challenging to hold your head above the water as harmful thoughts or triggers crash over you? You are not alone. I can offer you a space to navigate these waves together. We can learn new ways to cope and process, while the tide settles.
Trauma
Experiencing trauma has the potential to profoundly alter our self-perception, our perception of others, and the way we navigate the world. If you find yourself grappling with the impacts of trauma, seeking therapy can help to facilitate your healing journey, enabling you to reclaim your experience, find clarity, and repair past wounds.
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression can cast a shadow over daily life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and out of control. You don’t need to struggle alone. I strive to help you target the symptoms that are affecting you and help to make your day-to-day life feel a little lighter, so that you feel more in control.
Services
Individual Therapy
Are you looking for a break from virtual spaces and searching for in-person therapy? I provide face-to-face sessions at my office in Poughkeepsie, New York, catering to those who prefer a direct, in-person therapeutic experience.
If you prefer to engage in therapy from the comfort of your own home, I also offer telehealth sessions. These virtual sessions take place through a secure, encrypted, and HIPAA-Compliant video messaging platform.
Whichever options suits your needs and preferences, I’m committed to providing you with a therapeutic experience that makes the most sense for you.
Professional Consultation
Are you a therapist or other helping professional who could use support with a challenging clinical case? If so, please feel free to reach out! I would love to help and discuss further.
I’ve had the privilege of working with trauma survivors in a myriad of different capacities. I have extensive experience working with individuals engaged in the criminal justice system, family court proceedings, and college/university Title IX processes.
Prior to private practice, I also held a number of supervisory roles, providing warm and empathetic support to my colleagues.
Lectures & Trainings
I am incredibly passionate about the work that I do, and I also love speaking about this work to others.
I offer small and large group engagements covering a range of topics including an overview of trauma and interpersonal violence, strategies to support survivors of trauma, and therapeutic techniques.
Feel free to check out some of my publications and presentations. I am also currently an Adjunct Faculty Member at Adelphi University’s School of Social Work, where I’ve taught Foundations of Social Work Practice I and Human Behavior Theory for Social Work Practice II.
