Associate Therapist

Sharon Hong

AMFT

✦ Supervised by

Angel Herrera

I became a therapist because I enjoy walking alongside others in their journeys of healing, acceptance, and growth. I have experience working with a wide range of populations—from individuals experiencing homelessness to children in foster care. I’m especially passionate about supporting children who struggle to adjust and helping them feel seen, supported, and like they truly belong.
