Getting to know Sally Shi

I'm a bilingual (Mandarin-English) therapist offering culturally responsive and trauma-informed care. I bring a cross-cultural perspective to my work and understand how cultural expectations, identity, and a sense of belonging can shape our experiences and relationships. I offer evidence-based therapy, drawing primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and also provide EMDR for trauma-related concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity and compassion. I believe therapy is not just about understanding why we struggle, but also about learning to relate to ourselves differently and developing the capacity to navigate life's challenges with greater flexibility and confidence.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Before our first session, you'll receive some intake paperwork from my office, including basic questions about your background, payment information, and what to expect from therapy. Please take some time to review and complete it beforehand, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We'll meet at our scheduled time through a video link. Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll be curious about what brings you to therapy, what you've been going through, and what you're hoping might change. We'll also talk about your goals and how we might work together.
