About Me

I, Ambreen Rashid Khan, work with adults, in individual, couples, and group formats, on a wide array of concerns. Addiction or substance abuse, trauma, depression, relationship problems, anxiety, women's issues, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and grief are examples of the areas I have experience treating.

My clinical approach hinges on a trauma informed model with motivational interviewing techniques. This allows me to utilize a tailored approach for each person with whom I work. I cannot help but use humor regularly and hope this helps create a comfortable environment to encounter some hard truths in our sessions.

Your Journey

Every individual has unique needs and circumstances. Each person's background, family system, belief system, personality, and goals differ. And so must their path. Being intentional about what path you take means accounting for your unique make up, mending your emotional life, and striving for your better life.

People tend toward the path of least resistance, and that means the status quo. Change is hard, particularly when one has been living the same way for some time. This is how counseling helps.

The Process of Counseling

1

Initial Session

Meet with me to get to know my style and see if we're a good fit. This step is all about connection and comfort.

2

Frequency Planning

Together we'll assess the appropriate frequency of meetings based on your needs and concerns.

3

Gradual Independence

We'll start with more frequent sessions and decrease gradually until you feel confident to continue on your own.

“My aim is to put myself out of business. I want you not to need me anymore! Have an idea of how you would like to approach your treatment when you meet with me. How often would you like to meet? What are your major concerns?”

- Ambreen Rashid Khan

Services & Sessions

Finding the right service modality for your needs is important. Here is a brief description of the different service formats I can provide.

Individual Therapy

You are the primary client. Your personal preferences, needs, concerns, goals, hopes, and dreams are our focus.

  • 50-minute sessions
  • In-person or online
  • Tailored to your needs

Couples Therapy

The relationship is the primary client. How each individual's personal preferences, needs, concerns, goals, hopes, and dreams affect the relationship is our focus.

  • 80-minute sessions
  • Safe, supportive environment
  • Evidence-based approaches

Group Therapy

The group supports each other in seeking overall life satisfaction. Guidelines are in place that I, as the group facilitator, reinforce. These guidelines create safety as each individual will need to be vulnerable with their peers in order to fully benefit from the group dynamic. The more open each person is the more every person grows.

  • Shared learning experience
  • Supportive community
  • Growth through connection

Clinical Supervision & Pricing

Clinical Supervision is available at 5k per session and every session would be between 35 to 40 minutes for supplementary supervision.

Because I work for myself and for your well being, I can adjust session rates based on need, as appropriate.

The process begins with an initial session to get to know each other. Together, we'll assess the appropriate frequency of meetings for your specific needs and concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and a psychologist. A psychologist provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who is objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental. Together, you and your psychologist will identify and work through the issues that are causing emotional distress and make positive changes in your life.

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone facing challenges in their life, experiencing emotional distress, or seeking personal growth. If you're dealing with persistent feelings of sadness or anxiety, struggling with relationships, recovering from trauma, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, therapy might be helpful. The best way to determine if therapy is right for you is to schedule an initial consultation.

Standard therapy sessions are 50 minutes long, which is considered a therapeutic hour. This allows me to take notes and prepare for the next client. However, I also offer extended sessions of 75 or 90 minutes for certain therapeutic approaches or situations where more time might be beneficial.

The duration of therapy varies widely depending on your specific situation, goals, and the type of therapy approach used. Some people might see improvement after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term therapy. We'll regularly review your progress together and adjust our approach as needed. My goal is to provide the support you need for as long as it's helpful.

Confidentiality is a fundamental part of psychotherapy. What you share in our sessions will be kept private and confidential, with a few important exceptions: if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse of children or vulnerable adults, or if legally required by a court order. I'll discuss these limits to confidentiality with you in our first session.

I use an integrative approach that draws from several evidence-based therapy methods, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness practices. This allows me to tailor the treatment to your specific needs, goals, and preferences. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you develop practical skills while also exploring deeper patterns that influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
