An interdisciplinary approach
Equify Counseling is led by Eileen Tong, a Licensed Master Social Worker in New York and a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach.
Background
Before entering the mental health field, I spent more than 15 years working across consulting, technology, finance, healthcare, design, and research. That experience shaped how I understand many of the challenges professionals bring into therapy and coaching, including burnout, perfectionism, career transitions, financial pressure, family expectations, and the tension between achievement and wellbeing.
My background spans social work, human-centered design, behavioral coaching, and finance. I bring those perspectives together to help clients better understand the patterns shaping their lives and develop practical ways to move forward.
