Nadia Khan
Master of Social Work
Throughout our lives, we're shaped by our experiences with family, friends, relationships, grief, and the challenges life throws our way. Yet, amidst these influences, it's easy to forget to prioritize moments of self-care and grace. This realization is what led me to dedicate my career to the field of social work, with a specific focus on supporting individuals in their journey toward healing.
I am deeply committed to making a profound impact on individuals' lives through supportive and therapeutic counseling. Drawing from a diverse range of experiences, from working with seniors with cognitive impairments to families of adult children with intellectual disabilities to understanding the intricate dynamics of first and second-generation immigrant individuals and families.
My specialization lies in providing collaborative, goal-focused, and therapeutic interventions to individuals navigating these intricate family dynamics and relationships. With this, I recognize the complexities involved in actively pursuing self-improvement. I seamlessly integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, with a philosophy rooted in anti-oppression, while utilizing a person-centered and solution-focused approach. Understanding the inner work required to confront life's challenges, I strive to facilitate positive transformations that guide individuals toward inner healing, peace, and fulfillment.
