“Thank you for wording it that way, I’m so relieved you understand my situation, it makes me feel better”– Client dealing with binge eating, stress, and trauma

Hello, my name is Ciji Khan and I am a Registered Social Worker in Manitoba with the Manitoba College of Social Workers. I have a Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Manitoba and a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology Degree from Yorkville University.

With a combination of work and life experience, I started my journey in the helping field working with high-risk and at-risk youth in the child welfare system and then progressed to working with adults in the justice system. I have over 15 years’ worth of experience working with children and their families and adults dealing with mental health and addiction issues. I also have experience working with people facing and dealing with homelessness, neurodivergent individuals, and people dealing with anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and depression.

I believe life is a journey and sometimes along the way we all need help with dealing with life’s challenges. I work from a person-centered, strength-based perspective and have the most experience in utilizing the CBT modality and using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) as a primary therapy. CBT Mainly deals with looking at how our thoughts and emotions affect our behaviours and confronting negative thinking to change it into more positive perceptions and ways of thinking. EMDR looks at pointing out all triggers that affect one’s life in a negative fashion and helps an individual process past and present memories and triggers that have negative thoughts connected to those triggers and memories and replace those thoughts with more positive and aspiring thoughts to help an individual smoothly navigate through their life.

You can be assured that when you come to me for help you will be given the respect and dignity all humans deserve and are in a safe and non-judgmental space to be your own true authentic self.

It would be an honor to earn your trust and respect and be able to walk with you on your healing journey!
