“I had a video visit with Siqi Shao, and I'm so glad I found her. She listened carefully to everything I shared, and even when I struggled to explain how I was feeling, she was very patient and understanding.
She didn't rush me at all. Instead, she helped me feel calm and supported. After the visit, she sent a clear report and made sure I had what I needed for my school leave.
If you're looking for a provider who truly cares and takes the time to listen, I highly recommend Siqi Shao. She made a difficult conversation feel a little easier. :)
Thank you again!”

Getting to know Siqi Shao
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in both medical-surgical and psychiatric nursing. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from California State University, Los Angeles, and have cared for diverse communities, including Chinese-speaking patients, through my bilingual skills in Mandarin and English. My approach combines compassionate, evidence-based care with personalized treatment plans that empower individuals to take an active role in their mental health. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy teaching, mentoring nursing students, and advocating for mental health awareness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I’m inspired by seeing people rediscover hope, strength, and joy in their lives. Supporting someone through their challenges and watching them grow is an incredible privilege. I believe everyone deserves a safe, understanding space to be heard and supported.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe the best care happens when treatment is a partnership. I start by listening closely to each person’s story, goals, and concerns, and I work with them to explore options that fit their lifestyle, culture, and comfort level. I present evidence-based choices in clear, simple terms so they can make informed decisions, and together we create a plan that feels both effective and realistic.

- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
