About Kristin Wong

I’m thankful for my education through the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF), where my biblical counseling training included courses in human personality, counseling and secular psychology, counseling and physiology, marriage counseling, child and adolescent counseling, counseling in the local church, and biblical interpretation. Much of my ongoing education is also through CCEF.

I consider it a privilege to walk with people of all ages. I also enjoy writing and speaking about mental, emotional, and relational health through the lens of Christian faith.  I’m thankful for my peaceful counseling space in the University Lutheran Chapel building, upstairs from the Common Cup Coffeehouse, near the University of Michigan campus. Free parking, a coffee shop, and a stained-glass chapel – who could ask for anything more? 

I’m wife to Phil and mom to four young adult children, two sons-in-law, two daughters-in-law, and (as of January 2024) two beautiful granddaughters and a very smiley baby grandson, all under two years old. I’ve written two books. (Carried Safely Home: The Spiritual Legacy of an Adoptive Family and Fierce Compassion: The Life of Abolitionist Donaldina Cameron, co-authored with my daughter Kathryn.) I’m deeply thankful for the ways I’ve been shaped by the worship, teaching, and community at my worship home of Knox Presbyterian. A big vegetable garden and a stack of bedside books keep my hands and mind busy. Also being a first-time dog owner.
