Linda Thai

Linda Thai is a somatic therapist, trauma therapist, and educator based in Fairbanks, Alaska — living and working on the traditional lands of the Tanana Athabascan peoples. As a former child refugee from Vietnam, she carries deep personal knowledge of what it means to heal from forced displacement, colonial trauma, and the quiet grief passed down through generations.

Her clinical work weaves together Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, Structural Dissociation, Havening Touch, and the Safe and Sound Protocol. She has a particular focus on adult children of refugees and immigrants, and has collaborated with psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk in his small-group psychotherapy intensives on healing attachment trauma.

Beyond one-on-one therapy, Linda is a sought-after educator who teaches online certification courses and group programs reaching thousands of people worldwide. Her teaching blends neuroscience, storytelling, somatic practice, and a firmly anti-oppressive lens — grounded in the belief that affordable trauma education is one of the most powerful ways to break cycles of intergenerational suffering.
