Michele L. Kong

With openness and loving acceptance, I welcome each person as a unique, creative whole. I value all aspects of each individual, cherishing each behavior as having an important function. I collaborate with each client on identifying patterns, habits, beliefs and blocks, which contribute to stress as well as interfere with feeling fulfillment, satisfaction and joy. Together we examine different areas of life: purpose, career, relationships, grief/loss, trauma recovery and much more. Using a holistic approach, I welcome tears and laughter, joys and fears, anger and sorrow, letting go and embracing anew. From decades of combined practice in yoga, Aikido and meditation, mindfulness supports my approach with clients. My calm presence, focus as well as dynamic energy provide a safe environment and support for rich inquiry. My clients learn to balance stress as well as embrace greater ease, choices, meaning and aliveness. Those with prior experiences in therapy are drawn to my approaches that
