Getting to know Xai Yang
Hello, I am Xai! It is pronounced ?Sai? or ?Cy.? I'm a bilingual therapist, speaking both Hmong and English. I am licensed as an LMSW (License #: 106740). I have over 12 years of experience in Social Work. I have skills in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing strategies to support the clients I serve. I earned my Bachelor's in Social Work at St. Cloud State University. I subsequently earned my Master's in Social Work from Columbia University in New York City. Since graduation, I have worked in many clinical settings. My experience includes Child Welfare, crisis management, Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), suicidal ideation, mental health issues, and hospital Social Work.
I am a caring, uplifting, and encouraging therapist. I have a strong ability to listen, collect stories, and focus on your healing process. I have worked with some of the most intense mental health challenges and underserved populations because I feel that is where my talent lies. I pride myself on helping people tell their stories because that is the first step toward your healing, your discovery, and living your full potential. I strongly believe that you are not defined by your mental health diagnosis (if applicable).
I specialize in addressing suicidal ideation, men's issues, anxiety, depression, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies. Most importantly, I specialize in uplifting you. You can count on me as a member of your team. As a team member in your mental health journey, I am here to be calm, bring perspectives from the other side, challenge your catastrophizing (jumping to the worst conclusion) thinking, say no to ?perfectionism,? and be here for you and with you. Thank you for taking the first step and for allowing me to be part of this very important journey. I look forward to meeting you!
