Meet the Team

Xiaochen Luo, Ph.D., Co-Founder

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist, professor, and researcher at the intersection of psychotherapy research and AI-human relationships. With extensive clinical experience across hospitals, clinics, and private practice, I integrate real-world understanding with research expertise in psychotherapy outcomes, human-AI relationships, and AI integration in mental health care. As a faculty member teaching graduate courses on AI and psychotherapy, I bring cutting-edge knowledge of emerging technologies and ethical frameworks to support organizations providing innovative mental health care. I am passionate in helping startups and clinics bridge scientific evidence, interpersonal insights, clinical standards, and innovation to implement AI integrations in mental health care that are both effective and ethically responsible.

Zixuan Wang, Psy.D. , Co-Founder

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Maryland and the owner of a private practice, Encounter Psychotherapy. My work is grounded in deep compassion and a belief in the power of authentic human connection to heal. I specialize in helping people navigate the lasting effects of psychological trauma, explore the complexities of identity, and build stronger, more meaningful relationships.

Beyond the therapy room, I'm intrigued by the evolving relationship between mental health, artificial intelligence, and ethics—areas where I bring both clinical insight and research experience. Whether I’m working with individuals or contributing to the broader conversation about technology and well-being, my passion lies in creating spaces where people feel truly seen, understood, and empowered.
