Clinical Psychologist
at Clarity and Insight Counseling Services
Collegeville, PA and Virtually
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 hope is that the work we do together will help you see your path ahead in an enlightened and empowered manner.
​
Outside of therapy, I’m a parent of two young boys, a spouse, a daughter, and a friend. I love traveling, reading, and tending to my many houseplants. While my indoor plants thrive, my attempts at outdoor gardening remain a work in progress. My favorite books include When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi and Minor Feelings by Cathy Park Hong, both of which inspire my work and worldview.

IN THEORY
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.

Together, we’ll navigate the complexities of your story, fostering clarity, self-compassion, and meaningful change.
