Kaiyi has worked with clients, especially adolescents and young adults from diverse backgrounds, supporting them through a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, communication, anger management, grief, trauma, cultural identity, interpersonal relationships, executive functioning, and life transitions etc. Kaiyi’s approach is grounded in authenticity, compassion, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity, emphasizing meeting clients where they are in their journey. Her experiences in a multicultural environment shaped her understanding of diverse perspectives. Kaiyi shares how exploring her passions and values led her to challenge societal and cultural stereotypes, fueling the desire to help others navigate their struggles with self-awareness and acceptance. As an Asian woman with both East Asian and Western cultural backgrounds, she deeply understands the complexities of balancing multiple cultural and psychosocial expectations and the courage it takes to seek support. Drawing on this awareness, Kaiyi has a focus on building a compassionate, collaborative rapport with her clients so that together, they can navigate vulnerabilities and discover pathways to healing, growth, and renewed resilience.  Kaiyi uses integrated therapeutic interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and family systems therapy, to tailor her approach to her client's unique needs. Kaiyi’s approach is also informed by mindfulness-based, strength-based interventions and integrated play and art therapies as needed. She can offer individual and family sessions in English and Mandarin for clients in Maryland.
