Name: Eileen Tong (she/her)

Title: Financial wellness coach

Company: Equify Counseling

Bio: I'm a financial wellness coach and future financial therapist, with a unique blend of experience in accounting, technology, and mental health.

I started my career in finance after earning a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Pittsburgh. For several years, I worked in various roles in financial accounting. Later, I pursued a master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction at DePaul University and transitioned into the tech industry, where I spent over 10 years as a product designer and user researcher at companies like McKinsey & Company, Humana, and Twilio.

Along the way, I realized how often people, especially high achievers, feel stuck in cycles of financial stress, self-doubt, and burnout. That insight led me to become certified through Wellcoaches, complete the Trauma of Money program, and train in motivational interviewing and financial counseling. I'm currently earning my Master of Social Work (MSW) and planning to become a Certified Financial Therapist (CFT).

My coaching approach blends emotional insight with practical tools. I specialize in helping people reframe limiting money beliefs, build sustainable financial habits, and align their finances with their personal values. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, recovering from burnout, or rethinking your relationship with money, I’m here to support you with warmth, clarity, and care.
