About the Facilitator: RITA PHETMIXAY
Hi, I’m Rita—Licensed Therapist (LCSW) and, founder of Healing Out Lao’d, a virtual practice space centering the lived mental health & healing experiences of Lao/SEA diaspora communities.
I created this space because so many of us are carrying things we’ve never had the chance to name out LAO’D—let alone process in community.
My intention is to hold a space that feels grounded, culturally resonant, and raw and authentic. Especially as survivor of complex trauma, this space is so much more meaningful for me to hold and I wish nothing but tender, love and care within our beloved SEA diaspora communities.
