About Dr. Mai

Over the past decade, I worked at several university counseling centers, serving in a variety of roles involving psychotherapy, supervision, training, and leadership while holding the position of Clinical Associate Professor. As Clinical Director, I also led initiatives to improve access to mental health care, strengthen systemic accountability, and expand the scope of services.

​

As I entered a new season of life, I felt a strong pull to shift my focus fully to clinical work and to create more space for my personal life. Since 2025, I have been providing psychotherapy in private practice, working with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and life stages, helping them manage life, work, academics, and relationships, and improve their psychological well-being.

​

There is a saying: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." These words resonate deeply with me as I reflect on the intersecting chapters of my personal and professional life. Moving to a new country, leaving home, pursuing graduate school, becoming a psychologist, building a career in higher education, and now having my own private practice, all began with a desire to step into the unfamiliar - to learn, evolve, and help with an open mind and heart.
