Professional statement

Dr. Patricia Wong is a Clinical Health Psychologist who specializes in the intersection of physical health and emotional wellbeing. In her private practice, she provides a focused, action-oriented experience for adults navigating the complexities of chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Dr. Wong’s approach is rooted in the latest psychological science and is designed to move clients beyond symptom management toward true clinical restoration.

By maintaining a dedicated out-of-network model and a limited caseload, Dr. Wong ensures a level of clinical depth and personal collaboration. This approach allows her to customize each treatment plan, ensuring that the work is uniquely suited for the individual’s values and needs.

Dr. Wong utilizes evidence-based, time-limited protocols shown to make lasting change:

Insomnia Treatment (CBT-I): For those struggling with sleep, Dr. Wong implements Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. This structured program typically results in restored sleep and improved daytime energy within 6 to 8 weeks.

Chronic Pain & Neuroplasticity (PRT): To address chronic and neuroplastic pain, Dr. Wong utilizes Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). This cutting-edge modality helps the brain "unlearn" the chronic signals of danger that perpetuate pain, and clients often report a reduction in pain in 8-10 weeks.

Integrated Mind-Body Care: For individuals facing the psychological strain of chronic health issues, Dr. Wong integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and short-term psychodynamic approaches. The focus is on restoring a sense of safety within one’s own body and building a life defined by intention rather than physical limitations.


Message to clients

I often hear from my clients that they feel as if their body has betrayed them. Whether you are lying awake at 3:00 AM frustrated by a mind that won't shut off, or you are navigating a world that has been narrowed by the constant 'alarm' of chronic pain, the sense of losing control is exhausting.

I want to join you on a journey to trust your body once again. I believe that therapy should be a unique blend of psychological science and deep human connection. While my work is grounded in data and evidence-based protocols, I bring a profound respect and appreciation for the unique background and values you bring to our sessions.

In our work together, we will move toward—and eventually embrace—the difficult parts of your experience so that you can re-engage with what you truly value. I consider our work successful when you leave our sessions not just with 'coping skills,' but with the genuine inspiration and skillset to continue building a life you find truly worth living. I welcome you to reach out so we can explore how to begin this work together.
