Xian Zhang, PsyD
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the University of Washington’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, working in adult inpatient care within the Center for Behavioral Health & Learning. I bring specialized training in serious mental illness, inpatient psychiatric care, serving populations with comorbid substance use and/or medical complexity, and enjoy working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams to optimize patient-centered care. I also bring a global public health background in improving service delivery and access in low-resource settings across Africa and Asia.
I graduated with a PsyD in clinical psychology from the University of Denver, after completing my pre-doctoral internship at Mt. Sinai/Elmhurst Hospital in New York. During this internship, I completed rotations in the adult inpatient unit, the child partial hospitalization program, psychiatric emergency room services, and the consultation-liaison psychiatric service, serving a patient population that is among the most ethnically and culturally diverse in the world. I am dedicated to providing high quality, empathetic, and innovative interventions to our inpatient population.
