Michele Kong Holistic & Somatic Psychotherapist in NYC



Often individuals with multifaceted identities (immigrants, adult children of immigrants, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, multicultural, multiracial etc) find my gentle, humanistic and cultural responsiveness refreshing. I often help people with: trauma recovery, family of origin dynamics, grief/loss, racial dilemmas, attachment and relationships, self-worth plus more.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and reactive about the current state of the world? The first steps may be to pause, breathe, and come home to the body. Using mindfulness to hone your awareness skills, our journey together will support you in learning to value all behaviors, feelings, impulses and thoughts, even paradoxical ones. Moreover, you’ll gain tools for expressing a whole spectrum of feelings and experiences: tears and laughter, fears and aversions, anger and heartbreak, excitement, joy, awe, wonder etc.

As a former visual artist, educator and career changer, I hold space for creativity, learning and deep inquiry—where answering “Who am I, really?” leads to choice and freedom. After our work together, most report surpassing initial goals, feel empowered and more confident to pursue heartfelt desires, while also embodying the pleasure of living aligned and whole.
