Now, with the integration of the Medi-Cal San Francisco Health Plan, more residents will be able to receive timely and compassionate mental health care tailored to their individual and cultural needs.
San Francisco is one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse cities in the United States. Recognizing the unique challenges this presents in mental health access, Dr. Michael They has built a practice centered around culturally sensitive care. Fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, and Cambodian, Dr. Michael They eliminates the language barrier that often prevents patients from receiving or continuing treatment.

Psychiatric evaluations and ongoing assessments
Medication management and monitoring
Individualized treatment plans for children (ages 6+), teens, and adults

Their approach combines a deep understanding of clinical psychiatry with an emphasis on building trust and long-term therapeutic relationships.
My mission is to help people of all backgrounds find stability, clarity, and strength, explains Dr. They. Mental health care should never be a privilege—it’s a basic right. Accepting the Medi-Cal San Francisco Health Plan is one more way I can make that right a reality for more people in our community.
