Ping Chai

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor specializing in stress and anxiety, cross cultural adjustment challenges, grief, and depression. Prior to becoming a licensed mental health professional, I lived and worked internationally and subsequently in Greenville for many years in fast-paced, high-stress environments such as news, consulting, and church ministry. I also served as a trained lay counselor at a large church between 2015 and 2021, during which I went to graduate school to receive formal training in professional counseling while working in a full-time position. To me, therapy is not merely about symptom reduction but is also a process of deep personal growth and refining of life goals. I walk alongside my clients with warmth, nonjudgmental respect, openness, a commitment to understand and connect, and an instinct to ask sincere and bold questions to invite self-discovery and insight. I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds in different settings, but am especially passionate about supporting the following populations based on my own life and professional experiences: - High achieving professionals in high-stress environments juggling work performance and personal/life priorities. - Late adolescents / Young adults needing support as they overcome obstacles to become mentally and emotionally healthy and independent adults. - Expatriates and first/second immigrants seeking support navigating the unique stresses of international/cross-cultural living. I offer individual therapy in English, Mandarin Chinese, and on a case by case basis, Japanese. I look forward to having the privilege of supporting you on your journey of healing and personal growth.
