Mina Khan, Counsellor, CCC, MACP, BEd

I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, with a specialization in trauma and have been working in the health and wellness field since 2005. My approach is holistic, compassionate and supportive, helping people identify their strengths and empowering them to move through life’s challenges. My core intention in therapy is to create a safe and attuned container where clients feel resourced enough to experience and process emotions that may have been held in the body for a long time. I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities into my work through a trauma-informed lens, with a focus on Narrative Therapy, somatic techniques, mindfulness, Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) attachment theory, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), always tailoring the work to the client’s nervous system and cultural context. Working together we can reframe thought patterns, regulate emotions, process trauma and build resilience. I’m deeply aligned with the idea that healing happens when clients reconnect to themselves, physically, emotionally and relationally.

Along with my clinical training, I bring a depth of lived experience as a divorced single mother of two teens, someone who has navigated chronic illness, and a long-time educator and yoga and meditation teacher. These life experiences influence how I show up with humility, curiosity and compassion in the therapy room.
