Founder & clinic director

Heena Khan, LPC-S, RPT, CYT

Parenting & Motherhood can be joyful yet stressful, precious yet exhausting, rewarding yet frustrating, evolving yet guilt-ridden. My mission is to help you evolve and become the parent you want to be for your child, so you can feel more confident, and less Mom-guilt.

I provide child-centered play therapy for children so they can learn to regulate their behaviors, express & manage their big feelings without hurting themselves or others. I’ve seen significantly positive outcomes in parents and children that struggle with cooperation and discipline. I provide families with evidenced based therapy & support that supports kids and empowers parents with confidence so they can discipline without hurting and resolve conflicts peacefully.

Another area of my speciality is working with pregnant/postpartum mothers and adult survivors of trauma. I help lonely and frustrated mothers find relief from their overwhelming emotions during the postpartum period. I help adult women overcome and find relief from trauma, grief and loss due to life transitions or adverse childhood experiences.

My approach to therapy is holistic. When deemed appropriate and beneficial, I address the mind and body together in my sessions by incorporating various therapeutic approaches such as EMDR & Therapeutic Yoga.
