Getting to know Kayoua Thao

Hello! I've been in the field since 2011. Originally from the Twin Cities, I have lived in Las Vegas and now Southern California. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor's from Macalester College. I am passionate about treating anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, life transitions, trauma, and eating disorders. My treatment approach includes CBT, DBT, CPT for PTSD, mindfulness, and tools and techniques from ACT and IFS. I am bilingual in Hmong and English. Excited to be on this journey with you!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I like to provide psycho-education on your diagnosis, symptoms, or experiences, give you a name to the thing you're going through so that it's less scary and confusing, which gives you more control over your situation. Through warmth, space, validation, and gentle challenging, you can walk away feeling very confident about our collaboration, and just uncomfortable enough to make changes in your life to improve your well-being. I read a lot so I make book recommendations that will help, and I give homework weekly: something to think about, journal prompts, practice a coping skill or behavior change, a worksheet, or simply tracking your moods.
