In the summer of 2005, Shi-Jiuan moved back to her home country of Taiwan after living in the United States for 20 years. Currently, her primary work focuses on introducing a different way of thinking and working in mental health, social work, education and in the court system in both Taiwan and China . Since most work in the mental health field in Taiwan and China still focuses more on problems, diagnoses, and a hierarchical/expert type of work, Shi-Jiuan recognizes the need to create more spaces for all voices to be honored and heard. She is currently doing many trainings, consultation and supervision and uses her experiences of collaborative practices to present alternative approaches to working with clients, families, and systems in many parts of Taiwan and China .  To live, work and travel in the United States , Taiwan , and China has expanded her horizons in appreciating how context and culture influence stories and conversations.

She currently resides with her husband in Taipei and lives within an 8-minute walk of her father.  She likes to be with her aging father, the children of her siblings, her brother and two sisters, as well as speaking multiple dialects/languages every day.  She also makes time on a regular basis for yoga, walking, dancing, hot spring, eating slowly, drinking diverse teas and meditation.
