a 4-part virtual discussion healing series for & by southeast asian communities

Begins June 17 • Live on Zoom • 60-minute sessions

A guided bi-weekly space to explore intergenerational trauma, aging SEA refugee/immigrant parents, grief, healthy boundaries, and healing in community.

This space was created for you if…

  • You’ve ever felt the weight of your family’s history without fully understanding it as an adult child of Southeast Asian immigrants/refugees. 
  • If you’re navigating the complexity of loving aging SEA immigrant or refugee parents while also trying to live your own life.
  • If you’re holding questions about SEA identity, belonging, and what it means to break cycles without losing connection.
  • This is a 4-week guided discussion space for Southeast Asians in the diaspora to come together, reflect, and make meaning—without having to explain everything from the beginning.

What this space offers:

  • Guided, therapist-facilitated discussions
  • A culturally grounded, trauma-informed space
  • Reflection prompts and gentle nervous system awareness
  • Community connection (not just content)
  • Space to process and heal in community, not just a lecture.

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.
