Lisa Thao

My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, honest, and approachable. I value creating a comfortable environment where clients feel safe expressing themselves openly without judgement. I also believe in collaboration, active listening, and providing gentle guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into social work was inspired by a passion for supporting others through difficult and vulnerable experiences. Working in healthcare and mental health settings strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate care and creating a space where individuals feel supported, empowered, and understood.

My goals for you

I help clients identify realistic goals while building insight, coping skills, and confidence. Together, we explore emotions, stressors, thought patterns, and behaviors that may impact daily life.

Our first session

The first session focuses on getting to know each other and building a comfortable foundation for therapy. We will discuss your concerns, goals, and expectations for treatment while creating a shared understanding of how we can work together. My goal is for clients to leave feeling heard, supported and comfortable with the process.
