Hello. My name is Brian Wai and I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California. I am also bilingual, Cantonese and English. I work with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, drug problems, interpersonal relationship conflicts, psychosis, etc., using integrative approaches. I utilize integrative therapeutic approaches which involve client-centered (trying to be in clients' shoes), psychoanalytic (assessing any unresolved problems in the past that cause current issues), and solution-focused (focusing on solving problems with solutions).
I have experience working with individuals who have various cultural backgrounds that struggles with mental challenges including depression, anxiety, drug addictions, relationship conflicts, co-dependency, psychosis, anger, grief, self-esteem, self-harm, etc. in different settings such as inpatient and outpatient care, community mental health services.
I have desired to use my empathy and listening skills to help people overcome their challenges and improve their mental well-being, providing a safe place to process their difficult concerns, emotions, and/or thinking and work together to achieve their goals or to increase their quality of life.
