As a psychotherapist, Gao believes people come from all walks of life where challenges have created various experiences and perspectives, and sometimes support is needed to strive for increased resiliency. Gao is a bilingual (Hmong and English) clinician who draws from various evidenced-based interventions including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), CBT, DBT, mindfulness and psychoeducation to develop skills and insight. She appreciates working with a diverse group of clients, especially working within the St. Paul Hmong community, where she was raised. She has 7+ years working with individuals who are diagnosed with co-occurring disorders, including but not limited to numerous levels of trauma, chemical dependency, medical health conditions, and other psychiatric diagnoses. Her experience includes providing direct services in various settings to clients of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, including clients from Southeast Asian populations and other cultural linguistic and ethnic groups. Gao uses an integrative and holistic approach that allows clients and communities to achieve healing and harmony.
