In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Everything from Depression to PTSD, from generalized anxiety disorder to addiction. Expect to get some medication with the expectation to follow up with me if you have any problems. Patients should be hopeful, and know their expectations which will include taking their medications, attending therapy and following up with appointments.
Having worked with young professionals for the past 4 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and modifying dysfunctional thoughts, behaviors, and emotional responses. It is based on the idea that our thoughts (cognitions), feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and that changing negative thoughts and behaviors can lead to improvements in emotional regulation and overall mental health. I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the last two years. It has helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Interpersonal
Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and addressing interpersonal issues as the primary means of treating mental health issues. Once the interpersonal issues have been identified, the client and I would work together to implement specific interventions aimed at achieving the established goals.

A lot of people told me that possibly what was bothering me was ADD . So I thought that maybe I could get on a medication for that and it would solve some of my problems at least being able to focus better but after talking to Dr. TAI I come to find out that the root cause was severe depression based on an assessment so the doctor recommended me to focus on the root cause first basically and see what changes and put me on Wellbutrin so now we will see where things go.

Dr. Tai created a space that felt safe, respectful, and genuinely supportive. He listens to my concerns, allowed me to talk and ask questions, and never made me feel rushed/dismissed. His approach was compassionate and highly knowledgeable. As a Black male doctor, he brought a level of cultural awareness and understanding that made a difference in my experience. I felt seen, understood, and validated in ways I hadn’t before with my previous provider. He balances professionalism with warmth.
