Annie Thao, LCSW
About me
We all need a safe, nonjudgmental, and intentional space to be vulnerable, examine our stories, reflect on our connection to ourselves and others, and process where we’ve been and where we want to be. Maybe you’re wrestling with family dynamics, life transitions, or relational dilemmas. Perhaps you’re dealing with internal struggles, feeling a little lost, wanting a sense of direction or wanting to heal emotional injuries. Allow me to walk alongside you on your journey to gain insight into how you arrived at this place in your life and cultivate the space that you want for your present and future. I’m passionate about engaging in meaningful reflections and exploring ways to help your personal growth, inner peace, and healing. I believe that when we practice self-awareness, relate to ourselves with kindness, and show up to the world as our true selves, we can tap into our individual and unique inner power and strength to heal, re-write our stories, and live a more purposeful life.
