Therapy style

Hi! My name is Dr. Mussarat Khan and I am a clinical psychologist. My approach to therapy includes gently guiding and challenging individuals to help achieve goals. I have a general structure for individual sessions that guide the treatment course overall, however, I maintain the flexibility to change directions to treatment as our lives are ever-changing. I focus on the daily application of empirically based modalities and explore what is truly important in one’s life. I approach goals collaboratively and if there is anything to take away from our sessions, it is- change is possible in a safe positive space.

Interests

I have a passion for reading and practicing meditation/mindfulness. I also love DIY projects around my home, from fixing my garbage disposal to tiling a wall. These activities help me feel centered and focus on aspects of my life where I can find joy. I often have my kids involved so they are having fun and learning new ways to keep themselves active!
