Getting to know Sophia Mai
Are you a perfectionist? A high-achiever who constantly finds yourself trying your best to meet the expectations of others? Despite all you have accomplished, do you still feel strained by low self-esteem? Do you sometimes question whether you are good enough and often fear that your partner may abandon you? At times, you might even feel too ashamed to share your struggles with others, which can lead to feelings of isolation. That heavy burden of loneliness is difficult to carry alone.
Imagine working with a warm, compassionate, and validating therapist who can hold your hand and walk you through the process of untangling the stories of your life, making the unconscious conscious, and helping you become your authentic self-so you can truly experience happiness.
I hold a Master of Science in Education in Counseling and a Master's in Philosophy, both from the University of Pennsylvania. With this background, I am committed to supporting you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe finding a therapist is similar to finding a teammate, because the therapeutic process is one, full of continuous collaboration. Therefore, in our first session, I often review therapy structure, policies, help patient identify their core concerns, specify treatment goals, come up with a plan together to address those treatment goals, and clarify any questions you may have regarding therapy treatment with me.

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.
