Jiaying Qi, LMHCA

Description of Counselor/Practice

Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate Mood disorders Interpersonal Relationships & Peer Pressure Life Transitions & Burnout Anxiety & Stress Management Trauma, Complex Trauma, & PTSD Distress Tolerance & Emotional Regulation Acculturation and Multicultural identity ​ I love working with adolescents and adults of all ages! My approach blends a warm, person-centered philosophy with evidence-based interventions like CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness to help clients reach their goals. I am available to provide therapy services in English and Mandarin. To me, being a therapist is much like being part of an athlete’s support team. Life can be overwhelming and isolating, which is why we need someone to strategize, exercise, and practice together. Most importantly, we need someone we feel safe talking to. In moments of navigating distress and celebrating triumphs, I want my clients to know there is someone in their booth, rooting for their success and well-being. I hold master’s degrees in Counseling Mental Health Services and Professional Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania, following a Bachelor’s in Psychological Sciences from Purdue University. Having lived in both Western and Eastern cultures, and researched systemic and implicit bias, I value open-mindedness and embrace imperfectism. With a background in community mental health centers, public schools, and a Neurodivergent Children’s Institute, I’m committed to promoting an environment of inclusivity and cultural sensitivity. This experience informs my approach to diagnosis and treatment, especially for diverse clientele with marginalized identities.
