Naree Thao

My name is Naree Thao, and I am the founder of Untangled Minds, a distinguished practice dedicated to providing empathetic mental health counseling services. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, my commitment lies in fostering profound healing and personal growth within diverse communities. At Untangled Minds, we specialize in supporting individuals through intricate life transitions, trauma, and identity exploration. Our mission is to cultivate an inclusive sanctuary where individuals can courageously embrace transformation and redefine their inner narratives. Allow me to highlight the core competencies and services that distinguish Untangled Minds: • Bicultural Proficiency: Grounded in my personal journey as a first-generation Hmong woman in the United States, I possess a profound understanding of the intricate cultural and generational dynamics influencing mental health. This nuanced perspective underpins my practice, ensuring culturally responsive therapy that respects and celebrates diverse backgrounds. • Specialized Expertise: I hold a master’s degree in counseling from Marquette University, specializing in work with children and adolescents. With over a decade of comprehensive experience spanning youth outreach, crisis intervention, and community-based psychotherapy services, I bring a depth of professional insight and compassion to every therapeutic encounter. • Telehealth Accessibility: Embracing the digital age, I extend my services statewide across Wisconsin via telehealth platforms. This approach ensures seamless access to high-quality mental health care, irrespective of geographic constraints. Untangled Minds is particularly dedicated to addressing maternal and paternal mental health, a critical yet often overlooked domain in mental health care. I am deeply committed to raising awareness and providing tailored support for issues such as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, which profoundly impact the well-being of new and seasoned parents. My therapeutic approach is characterized by collaboration and client-centeredness. Together, we will navigate and unravel your unique challenges, be it managing parental burnout, navigating unresolved trauma, or reclaiming personal identity and narrative sovereignty. I invite you to consider Untangled Minds as your ally in promoting mental health and wellness. Together, we can empower to surmount obstacles and thrive amidst complexity.
