Please visit my profile to learn more about my services.
Life can be complicated, messy, and painful. I try to foster an environment in which it feels safe to talk about all of that messiness. I believe the human connection we form through therapy is key to healing and growth. If you choose to work with me, I will use our connection to determine when and how to shift in and out of various roles, so you might experience me as many things: investigator, mentor, observer, coach, ally. But above all, we engage together as fellow human beings living in this complex world, with the shared endeavor of improving your well-being. Good therapy relies on the fit between you and me. If something about my profile resonated with you, I would love to talk more. If you’re not sure about therapy or about whether I can help, maybe we can figure that out together. I charge nothing for our first meeting for that very reason. I’d like to hear your story.
I’m a therapist who values honesty, reflection, and meaningful change. I go beyond surface-level work, helping you understand the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape how you show up in your life. My approach is supportive yet direct. I’ll help you identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck—like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-criticism—while creating a space where you feel respected and not judged.
Hello! My name is Yue (Brian) Shi, Ph.D. and I am a Licensed Psychologist providing tele-psychotherapy to residents of California, USA. In my work with clients, I strive to create a respectful and authentic space for each client to express personal concerns freely. My approach to therapy is integrative – I flexibly utilize therapeutic interventions based on what my clients hope to achieve through therapy. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, interpersonal, solution-focused, acceptance and commitment, person-centered, and strength-based interventions into my practice. Past clients have described me as an insightful, caring, and practical provider who always has their best interest in mind. I am a first-generation immigrant from China who grew up in the Bay Area. I have worked in various clinical settings, including university and community college counseling centers, community mental health agencies, and a residential substance abuse treatment facility. I specialize treatment in the following areas: Identity development, self-esteem, immigrant and minority mental health, college mental health, adjustment, workplace distress, career indecision, relationships and communication, trauma, depression, anxiety, gaming-specific concerns, and gaming addiction.
