Getting to know Qi Shi
Hi there, I'm Dr. Shi. Do you want to become your best self, learn how to better manage and cope with life transitions, and stay on top of daily stressors? I can help by creating a safe and trusting environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and feelings and receiving genuine feedback.
In our sessions, we will explore patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to establish improved ways of being and relating to others. Through our work together, you will gain a better understanding of yourself, helping to alleviate distress and develop more satisfying relationships.
I am a licensed therapist in the state of Maryland with more than ten years of experience in individual counseling for adults and adolescents. I earned my doctoral degree in Counselor Education from George Washington University in 2014. I also hold a Master's in Counseling from Drake University and a Bachelor's degree from Beijing International Studies University. Since earning my doctorate, I have served as faculty in school counseling programs at universities.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our first session is an intake session where clients will share their presenting issues and demographic information. After intake, clients will receive a treatment plan that lists goals/objectives and possible interventions. Treatment plans will be reviewed every 6-8 weeks and reassess clients' needs for therapy.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
