Suzanne Chong

I am Suzanne ChuChian Chong, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist based in the Greater Philadelphia area and founder of Clarity and Insight Counseling Services, LLC. I named my practice Clarity and Insight because of the name given to me when I was born - "ChuChian" typifies the ability to see clearly.

I completed my doctoral degree in an American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited clinical psychology program in North Texas. My intervention style is trauma-informed with an overarching psychodynamic approach. I have certifications in completion of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy training from the nationally recognized Trauma-Focused National Therapist Certification Program, along with certificates of completion from Gottman Institute in my work with couples. Additionally, I have specialized training in my post-doctoral residency in a residential eating disorder facility. My main areas of expertise are eating disorders, relationship violence and abuse, racial trauma, and mood disorders. My hope is that the work we do together will help you see your path ahead in an enlightened and empowered manner.
