Ping Chai

Hello, I'm Ping, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Greenville SC. My practice name, KaiLife Counseling, embodies the spirit of ‘Kai’ - victory, meaning, and strength - which reflects my commitment to supporting my clients overcome adversities and live a life that feels worthy and fulfilling. You’re here because: ✅ Stress keeps you awake despite professional success ✅ Anxiety whispers "not enough" even when you excel ✅ Cultural shifts leave you feeling lonely and unmoored ✅ Depression or Bipolar Disorder leaves you feeling ashamed, helpless, hopeless ✅ Grief feels like a weight you carry alone What I Offer: Confidential support for professionals and expatriates facing career stress, burnout, intercultural stress, loneliness, or personal struggles - without fear or judgment. As a therapist who has navigated newsrooms, mentally and emotionally challenging news scenes, corporate offices and ministry spaces across continents, I bring lived experiences and informed perspectives into: ▸ Burnout Recovery Support for professionals and expatriates striving to balance demanding careers with fulfilling personal relationships ▸ Cultural Navigation For expats and immigrants navigating the unique psychological and emotional stress from international/intercultural living ▸ Anxiety Reboots Rewiring perfectionism into purposeful action ▸ Grief Alchemy Transforming loss into opportunity for growth and legacy Why Work With Me: → Confidentiality & Sensitivity: My journalism and consulting years required handling and compartmentalizing high value sensitive information and ethically complex scenarios - a skillset that ensures your privacy and trust are paramount. → Intercultural Savvy: Having lived and worked in multiple countries and now an expat/immigrant myself, I provide nuanced support for expats and immigrants facing identity shifts, loneliness, or workplace cultural clashes. → Faith-Based I am a born again Christian and can relate to the challenges of Christian living (I am also totally comfortable working with clients who do not want a faith-based worldview) → Balance Between Unconditional Acceptance and Growth I believe effective therapy combines unconditional acceptance with thoughtful challenges to support meaningful change → 3-Language Support Therapy available in English, Mandarin, and on a case by case basis, Japanese - because some experiences and emotions need native tongues Your Next Step: 📞 Fill out the Contact Form or call (Information at the top of page) to schedule a free and obligation-free 15-minute call to find out if I'm the right therapist for you. 南卡羅萊納州持牌心理諮詢師，專業提供壓力管理、焦慮症、抑鬱症、喪慟與跨文化適應障礙等心理諮詢與治療服務。支持面對面及線上心理諮詢，無論您身處南卡州的哪個城市，都能獲得專業協助。歡迎來電或發郵件預約心理諮詢，讓您安心獲得個人化的心理健康支持。 南カロライナ州認定カウンセラー（Licensed Professional Counselor）として、不安障害、うつ病、異文化適応、喪失感などでお悩みの方を対象にカウンセリングを提供しています。 シンガポール出身ですが、東京外国語大学日本語・地域研究科卒業、日本のテレビ局シンガポール支局勤務経験などあり。 異文化環境や海外生活、プロフェッショナルとしてのストレスに理解が深く、特に駐在員や国際的なバックグラウンドを持つ方々のサポートを得意としています。 日本語と英語を交えたカウンセリングでもよろしければ、お気軽にお電話またはメールでご相談ください。
