Hello! My name is Nicole Wong (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York’s Hudson Valley. I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, overcome anxiety, and relinquish their self-doubt. Your voice deserves to be heard and listened to. I would so appreciate the opportunity to engage in this therapeutic process with you. In my work, I provide trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centered therapy to my clients, while integrating an empathic, intersectional, and holistic approach. My practice is grounded in allowing my clients to explore all aspects of their identities while working through their life experiences. It is important to me that you are in control of your therapeutic process and that our work together is collaborative in its approach and catered to meet your needs and goals. Prior to my transition to being a therapist, I worked for nine years in trauma and anti-violence, university administration, and nonprofit management. For most of my professional career, I have helped individuals heal from trauma and loss and advocated for survivors in their communities. My foundations in trauma-informed approaches and advocacy remain a strong tenet of my work with clients today. I earned my Masters of Science degree in Social Work at Columbia University in Advanced Clinical Practice with a focus on Health, Mental Health, and Disabilities. Previously, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and English from Vassar College.

Swaroopa Dundon is a psychotherapist based in Westchester, NY, who works with teens and adults across the lifespan. She helps clients gently explore their thoughts and emotions to uncover the root causes of challenges such as anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. Through this process, clients gain insight into their life experiences, learn to reduce emotional pain, and discover new pathways to healthier relationships and a more meaningful life. Swaroopa is especially passionate about supporting families, couples, and people of color. Trained in CBT, family systems, mindfulness, and hatha yoga, Swaroopa integrates her background as a longtime yoga practitioner and teacher into her work. She often weaves in mindfulness and breathwork, helping clients deepen their self-awareness and access their inner resilience. Her approach is collaborative, supportive, and gently challenging—always with the goal of helping clients grow into the best versions of themselves. Having lived in different parts of the world, Swaroopa brings a culturally informed perspective to her practice. As an immigrant, she has a personal understanding of the unique challenges first- and second-generation families face as they navigate assimilation and identity. She strives to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where trust is built, goals are set, and progress unfolds at a pace that feels comfortable and respectful. Swaroopa holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from New York University and completed a two-year intensive clinical program at the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy, specializing in work with families and couples. Outside the therapy room, she enjoys designing native plant landscapes and spending time with her family and beloved dog, Ruby.

You might have had a bad break-up, lost a friend or loved one, or are just struggling to cope with the daily motions, seeking greater insight about changing patterns or navigating a confusing time in your life. You might be carrying the weight of so many untold stories and unfulfilled dreams within you, buried beneath years of struggle. You might be moving through life, feeling so fundamentally different, flawed, and alone at times. You might be wondering, "When can I finally breathe easier?" I see you, and I'm here. Through the questions you've been navigating as you journey into the unknowns of your self and your life. I specialize in working with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment issues, low self-esteem, and dating/ relationship challenges. I am passionate about working with those who identify as "outsiders," artists, and those navigating multicultural and identity exploration. Because each person is different, psychotherapy is an individual, unique process. I draw from a range of experiential and evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), psychodynamic therapy, and expressive arts therapies. In exploring therapy, you've taken a courageous step toward self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.

I am a Licensed LMHC by the University of NYS, bilingual in both English and Spanish.

As a Private Practice Professional, I developed treatment plans tailored specifically to my clients.

Most of these individuals do not speak English and the vast majority of them are unable to understand the complexity and intricacy of U.S. immigration laws even in their native Spanish. They may not even be aware that they have pending court cases, and may not appear at a scheduled hearing, which often leads to very serious consequences 4.

Gen Z and Millennial women are often bombarded with difficult life transitions such as adulting, relationship distress, quarter-life crises, career pursuits, parenting, caregiving, and more. This can be a lot to manage! Societal pressures plus the changing roles of women in this age group require a focused, feminist, and knowledgable approach. It can be tricky searching for the right therapist, so I appreciate you being here in the first place. My approach is fine-tuned, using radical genuineness, to help you learn how to manage these unique stressors while maintaining authenticity and calm. I am practiced in several targeted therapies that meet the needs of women in transition including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy). In my personal experience, I have come to view change as the only constant, which is why I find great value in being able to help my clients through significant life transitions. Looking back at the clients I've served over the years, I have been able to find something about every one of them that I admire. I love meeting my clients where they are and seeing how I can support their walk through life in a genuine, non-judgmental, and meaningful way. If this sounds like the right approach for you, feel free to reach out for a phone consult.
