Dr. Jacqueline Thanh, DSW, AM

My Art and purpose, 

both domestically and abroad, 

have centered on intuitive, symbiotic, 

as well as energy healing 

through critical Unlearning and 

Redefining Leadership,

Identity Exploration, 

Decolonizing Trauma, 

Program Development, 

and Organizational Management 

while working across racial, 

cultural, and generational lines 

for my diaspora across borders.

I know firsthand that multiple coexisting narratives just is. We are here to navigate and co-create the most authentic version of our lives--that is true liberation. 

My journey has privileged me 

to work in a myriad of 

intimate sacred spaces with asylum seekers, refugees, immigrants, 

and QTBIPOC dealing with 

Complex Trauma, PTSD, 

Grief & Loss, Homelessness, 

Domestic Violence, 

Human Trafficking

as well as 

the Unbearable Lightness 

of simply Being.

As a multi-ethnic & mixed heritage Asian American Womxn, it is my lifeblood to integrate Ancestral Reverence, Spiritual Medicine, Animisim Psychology, Ritual, Shadow Work, Reiki, Mindfulness,

 Somatic Wellness for the embodiment of healing as a strategic Art that aids in our personal alignment and collective evolution.  

My formative education includes my time spent as an English undergraduate at the University of California, Berkeley where I studied Asian American/Ethnic Studies, Indigenous and Children's literature as well as Eastern Philosophy. 

My clinical experiences as a graduate of the University of Chicago that focused on comprehensive trauma informed care went hand in hand with the critical examination of how harm reductive therapeutic tools from ACT, DBT, EMDR, eco-therapy, psychotherapy to narrative therapy can be reclaimed and reimagined for

 culturally integrative healing.

I am also a graduate of the 

Global Health Administration

at the Graduate Health Policy 

& Administration Program--

a consortium for interdisciplinary education and practice between the Booth School of Business, the Harris School of Public Policy, the Law School, the Pritzker School of Medicine, and the School of Social Service Administration. 

I am an inaugural Harvard Climate Justice Design Fellow and received my Doctorate in Social Work at the University of Southern California where I focused on Visual Social Work via Design Justice and 

Asian American Femme Leadership.

On the day to day, I am leading an intersectional non-profit to incubate AAPI leaders in New Orleans 

for more a just tomorrow.
