About Stephanie Shi, PhD
Do you struggle with unmanageable stress at work or at home? Do you feel that you’re carrying this anxiety and fear alone, and that you are losing motivation and hope? Are you dealing with trauma from the past or grieving significant loss? Challenges like these can be painful, yet they are often the catalysts that enable us to build resilience, gain new insight, and grow as individuals.
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years’ experience in the business world, I can help you on issues ranging from anxiety or depression, to deeper concerns about relationships, identity, meaning, purpose and personal transformation. I integrate eastern philosophy and mindfulness practices with the art and science of psychology, to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. Empathy and compassion are at the foundation of my work, and I believe that every individual has the potential to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Originally from China, I have lived and worked in the US for over 30 years, most recently as Director of Executive Development at Microsoft. My own cross-cultural background enables me to relate to the unique challenges faced by AAPI professional, interracial couples, and Asian American adolescents. I am a highly experienced leadership coach who can help you navigate your career and unleash your potential.

Finding Clarity and Balance
Life Transitions
I help clients navigate major life changes, such as divorce, retirement, or career changes. I provide clients with the support and guidance they need to move through these transitions with confidence and clarity.
Anxiety Treatment
I use evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, to help clients gain insight about the source of anxiety, address their symptoms and develop long-term coping skills.
Depression Treatment
I use evidence-based treatments, such as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and mindfulness, to empathize with my clients, help clients understand the connections between the head, heart and hand, and how to effectively manage their thoughts and feelings.
Cross-cultural Relationships
Our upbringing and our cultural background matters, as they shape who we are and how we relate to others. I help people in cultural differences to gain in-depth understanding of each other, to communicate with each other with more courage and to build long-term success together.
Self-Esteem and Confidence
I help clients build a positive self-image and develop greater confidence in themselves and their abilities. I use a strength-based approach to help clients identify negative self-talk and belief patterns and replace them with more positive and empowering ones.
