Dr Yasmeen Khan

Psychologist

“I have 20 years of experience working with children and adults from diverse cultures. I work with depression, anxiety and trauma.”

About Me

As a psychologist with 20 years of experience, I offer a supportive space for children and adults navigating depression, anxiety, and trauma. My work embraces diverse cultural backgrounds, ensuring our sessions respect your unique perspective. We can explore feelings and develop practical ways to manage challenges. I aim to create a calm, understanding environment where you feel heard and supported on your journey.

Approach

Experience has taught me to guide therapy through practical, paced steps that fit each person’s rhythm. Sessions in Chicago or via telehealth, with options in Hindi/Urdu, feel structured but flexible—short check-ins, play or gentle hypnosis with younger clients, and conversation-focused work for teens and adults. We set small goals together, practice skills between meetings, and review progress in concrete ways. This way of working often helps families and individuals looking for steady, culturally sensitive support with anxiety, mood, or trauma-related concerns.
