SHAN GAO, MD, PH.D

I am a board certified psychiatrist. I blend psychodynamic psychotherapy with  Internal Family Systems (IFS).  My goal is to guide you back to a connection with your Self. I believe that healing begins with gaining awareness and unlocking curiosity and compassion. Work with me may include witnessing and unburdening the pains from our most vulnerable parts. When we heal from the inside out, we are able to make lasting and meaningful shifts in our lives.
