In-person & telehealth psychotherapy for adults by Jacqueline Mai, Ph.D. at Vuot Song Wellness in Portland, Oregon. Schedule your free phone consultation today.

I’m Jacqueline Mai, Ph.D., a psychologist resident based in Portland, Oregon that provides psychotherapy to adults.

I take an integrative approach to treatment, drawing from both Psychodynamic Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. In practice, this means:

  • I create space for clients to explore internal conflicts, relationship patterns, and past experiences

  • Clients work to develop practical skills in their ‘toolbox’ to navigate difficult emotional states and life challenges

Each client comes to treatment with their own unique concerns. However, I have found that most folks want similar things: to nurture relationships (whether they be with family, romantic partners, friends, their community, or themselves) that bring lasting fulfillment.

Perhaps you’ve noticed that you struggle to achieve what those around you seemingly have. In our sessions together, you and I would explore the relationships you want to cultivate, how to achieve them, and factors in your personal history (e.g., experiences with primary caregivers, trauma) that may influence how you relate to others.

Finally, I recognize that no single approach works for every client. I believe that flexibility is essential to successful treatment and strive to tailor the therapeutic approach and conversation to your individual needs.
