Biography
About Dr. Jean Bai, MD
Dr. Jean Bai, MD is a Double Board-Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist who has spent more than 15 years treating children, adolescents, and families at an urban community mental health center in Pennsylvania. Over the course of her career, she has treated hundreds of diverse young people — from children with ADHD and depression to teenagers navigating trauma, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, and the complex aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on youth mental health.
She is both a clinician and the mother of two children, which means she brings to her work both the authority of 15+ years of evidence-based psychiatric practice and the lived experience of parenting in a generation defined by its mental health challenges.
In 2024, Dr. Bai published Parenting the Crisis Generation: A Child Psychiatrist's Top Strategies for Intervention and Healing — a comprehensive guide for parents, educators, and clinicians grounded in her clinical framework. The book has received a Reedsy "Must Read" designation and five-star reviews from medical professionals, educators, and parents alike.
Dr. Bai practices in Glenside, Pennsylvania, serving families across Cheltenham Township, Montgomery County, and the Greater Philadelphia region. She is an active speaker and educator, bringing her clinical expertise to school communities, healthcare institutions, and parent groups across the region.
