“I appreciate Rita so much. I recently wrote in my journal entry: ”I can’t wait to share this with my therapist!” Rita has supported me w/organizing my thoughts, encouraging me to explore my emotions on a deeper level, to better understand the root of my feelings & how we can move forward in a good way. I’ve cried during our sessions which has further healed me like a cleansing from my tears, b/c she asks such great questions that provoke vulnerability. I’m filled w/gratitude for her in my life.”

Getting to know Rita Phetmixay
You are here for that sense of belonging and connection, especially when multiple global crises have left communities feeling hopeless and in a constant state of vigilance. While some anxiety and depression are normal responses to the hyper-violence we face as a collective—whether on screens or in reality—it can feel extremely overwhelming to experience this every day, on top of expectations from work, family, and other relationships. As a child of the Lao Isaan/Southeast Asian diaspora, my passion is working with fellow children of refugee and immigrant diasporas to help them feel seen, heard, and validated through an anti-oppressive framework. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina, which have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support communities navigating these complex challenges.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Seeking therapy for the first time can be vulnerable and scary. However, the benefits of having consistent mental health support that is trauma-, healing-, and resilience-informed can offset these initial feelings in a myriad of ways, and even create room to thrive. Some benefits include: - Increased awareness of how one’s personal/social identities impact the way one navigates/sees the world through a unique lens - Increased ability to manage anxiety/stress/time - Improved emotional regulation, decision-making skills, self-esteem/insight/awareness - Connection to personal and spiritual truth

Rita Phetmixay, LCSW has 150+ in-network plans.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
