Naree Thao

My name is Naree Thao, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience working with diverse populations and marginalized groups. Throughout my career, I have provided case management, crisis intervention, and psychotherapy in both home and community settings. I specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and anger management. Additionally, I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health, offering specialized support for women during conception, pregnancy, and postpartum.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, patience, and genuine collaboration. Having walked my own path through challenges, I understand how vital it is to feel seen, heard, and respected in therapy, just as I have wanted for myself. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you are in the lead, and I am here to listen deeply, honor your story, and walk alongside you. Together, we will rediscover your narrative, learn self-trust, and understand your core values to help you navigate areas where you feel stuck or challenged. Through a trauma-informed lens and cultural humility, I offer thoughtful feedback and encourage self-reflection, always honoring your unique journey and pace. Our work will be based on trust, accountability, and a shared commitment to achieving your goals.

When you work with me, you can expect a warm, supportive, and understanding environment where you are treated as a whole person, not just a set of problems. I prioritize building genuine relationships with my clients, getting to know you beyond our sessions by learning about your interests, values, and what brings you joy. Together, we will focus on truly understanding your individual experience, nurturing your strengths, and supporting you in making authentic, lasting changes that bring deeper meaning and fulfillment to your life.
