About Me

Miah Khan, LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist

I am passionate about the stories we tell ourselves in our mind, the memories we carry in our body, and the possibilities ready to be unlocked in our dynamic spirit. While I integrate my training in AEDP, DBT, ACT, CBT, and relational psychoanalysis, I also transmute wisdom from my lived experiences as a queer, mixed race Pakistani American, non-binary femme, and chronically ill human being who was raised between the US and Mexico. I speak English and Spanish.

I use an eclectic, relational, psychodynamic, somatic, and healing-oriented approach in my bilingual therapeutic work, particularly with young people, gender and queer expansive people, and survivors of violence.

I currently work both communally and privately. I work at Callen Lorde Community Health Center serving New York's LGBTQIA+ communities as an individual psychotherapist, DBT group therapist, and clinical supervisor. I also work privately with individuals in my own practice, providing therapy and supervision. This website you find yourself on can help you connect with me if you are interested in working with me privately.

I use they/elle pronouns.

In our work together, I invite you to explore all parts of yourself in all temporalities - past, present, and future - in the here and now. I welcome the sacred opportunity to build a radical relationship of safety, trust, honesty, and expansion.

I am not a blank slate therapist who will simply listen and validate, although I will do both wholeheartedly. I am a relational therapist who is interested in deepening your experience of yourself through your relationship with me -- for how we do one thing is how we do all things. That is, how you show up in a relationship with me can offer us insight about how you show up in your other relationships. I aim to make the implicit explicit in our work, drawing our attention not only to the processing of what you bring into the room, but also the metaprocessing of what is happening in the room, between us.

Laughter and humor are also a part of the process. Any authentic expression, including cursing, is welcomed.
