Linda
Thai

Linda Thai LMSW is a trauma therapist who specializes in cutting edge brain- and body-based modalities for the healing of complex developmental trauma.

At a very young age, she experienced trauma related to forced displacement. In the process of her own healing, she researched the intersection of trauma and the body, which subsequently led her to work with thousands of people around the world. She has studied, inter alia, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and TIST therapy,  and has assisted Dr. Bessel van der Kolk in his private psychotherapy workshops. As an educator and consultant, she is gifted with the capacity to contextualize, synthesize and communicate complex and nuanced issues pertaining to trauma, attachment and the nervous system, including the impact of oppressive systems upon identity, mental health and wellbeing.

Linda is passionate about breaking the cycle of historical and intergenerational trauma at the individual and community levels, and deeply believes in the healing power of coming together in community to grieve. She is an exceptional storyteller and a teacher full of empathy and humor. As a former child refugee, born in Vietnam, raised in Australia, and now living in Alaska, Linda is not only redefining what it means to be Vietnamese, to be Australian, and to be US American, she is also redefining what it means to be wounded and whole, and a healer.
