Jessica Chong
M.A., AMFT
Specializations
I work with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and families. I work collaboratively with my clients to support their therapy goals and overall wellness. I draw from person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), and integrate a holistic approach in caring for the mind, body, and soul. I am also trained in Brainspotting, a brain- and body-based intervention that supports processing of trauma beyond traditional talk therapy.
As a second-generation Chinese-Korean American, I understand firsthand what it’s like to grow up between cultures. I support Asian American clients and children (youth and adult) of immigrant parents in navigating identity, belonging, and family expectations.
Connect with Jessica
Clinical Mental Health Counselor
Hi, I’m Jessica (or Jess!), an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) offering personalized, compassionate, and trauma-informed care for individuals, couples, and families. I blend evidence-based practices with a holistic approach to honor your journey and support your healing.
As a second-generation Chinese-Korean American, I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to the challenges of growing up between cultures. Much of my work centers on supporting Asian American clients and children of immigrants as they navigate cultural identity, belonging, and the pull between expectations and personal values.
Whatever brings you here, I see therapy as a sacred space where your story can be shared, witnessed, and honored without judgement. When you feel truly seen, heard, and understood, safety begins to take root, and that safety makes it possible to process what you’ve been carrying to heal and grow. Together we will explore your story with curiosity and compassion to build the inner strength and resources you need, not just survive life’s storms, but to thrive through them.
Education and Training
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from Richmont Graduate University, and I am licensed as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in Georgia. I have completed advanced training in Brainspotting (Phase 1 and 2) and Attachment-Based Family Therapy (Phase 1 and 2). I am committed to lifelong learning and continually pursue specialized training to best serve my clients.
About Jessica
Before becoming a therapist, I taught middle school science in Atlanta Public Schools. I was lucky to work in schools that put the whole child first, drawing on brain development research, leading with compassion, and taking a trauma-informed approach to supporting students and their families. Those years shaped how I show up for clients, and that same care now guides my work with clients of all ages, whether I’m meeting with an individual, couple, or whole family. My heart for people remains at the center of my work today.
When I’m not in session, you’ll usually find me outdoors, catching up with loved ones, or hunting down a new coffee shop to try around Atlanta. I’m always up to try a new hobby, too, and have dabbled in everything from crocheting to fly fishing!
