About Donna Khan

Hi. Thank you for reading my profile. I am passionate about what I do and have been from the minute I graduated with my Bachelors and Masters degree in social work Wayne State University in 1994. I am based out of Detroit Michigan.

My goal has always been to provide help to those who need guidance, resources or just someone to listen. I work with individuals, couples and families. My practice has included inpatient medical social work and outpatient social work in a clinic setting. The approaches I use includes client centered therapy, strength focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions focused therapy and motivational enhancement.
My specialties include depression, stress and anxiety management, family conflict, relationship issues, grief and anger, women’s issues, coping with life and career changes, I have developed workable solutions for reoccurring issues and problems. I have guided clients in the development of skills and strategies to deal with what life throws at us.
Reaching out for help is the first step towards change. I treat all clients with respect and compassion. I strive to establish a positive therapeutic relationship that helps to motivate change at your own pace. I look forward to working with you.

“Great listener, helpful suggestions, practical tips”

“I’ve been working with Donna for a few months now and I’m not sure what I would do without her. Immediately upon meeting she was very bubbly and accepting. Considering my circumstances, she was exactly the type of person I needed to pull me back to reality as her attitude and passion for helping her clients made me feel welcomed and accepted. I never feel like I can’t tell her something and it always feels like she’s on my side.”

“Donna has been a great help to me. She listens and actually hears me out. I love the fact that she allows me the time and chance to voice out my concerns and feelings”

“I have ptsdof therapist from the past and she hasn't made me uncomfortable. Also hasn't triggered me. I actually feel calm when talking to her.”

“Donna is compassionate and understands me. She offers good feedback on my concerns and helps me find solutions. If she wasn't my therapist, I would like to have her as a friend.”

“We have only had a few sessions so far but I strongly feel like she has a good understanding of my emotions and ways to help support me and teach me on my journey to better health.”

“Donna has all but demolished my negative thinking. I have been struggling my whole life with invasive and toxic thoughts but through series of therapy appointments Donna has taught me how to challenge my negative thoughts and over time it has created a more positive outlook. I am grateful for the time I spent in my therapy appointments and will use Donna in the future ..”

“Donna has been very attentive and respectful, offering good, basic support and wisdom.”

“I'm so glad that I came across better help, they've been a godsend. Getting started was easy and the counsellor that was assigned to me was exactly what I was looking for. After trying several different options, some online, some in person trying to find the right fit, I was sceptical about trying yet another service. From the start, Donna was incredible and she's consistently there for me. She's always on time, always attentive, remembers what we've talked about in the past and provides me with practical advice to guide me though some challenging times. Like everyone, my life is incredibly busy and quite demanding. The availability and access is perfect, the video meetings are flawless. The reminders for the appointment times are appreciated and she even checks in with me to see how I'm doing if she doesn't hear from me. She keeps track of progression and how I'm doing over the long term. It never feels transactional. I feel supported and encouraged when I'm doing well and when things are bit tougher. Can't recommend this service enough to anyone who might be on the fence.”

“The ability for her to keep me on track when I squirrel myself all the time.”

“She is professional and knowledgeable.”

“Thanks Donna”

“Donna has been very helpful for my wife and I. She has helped us get back on the same page and communicate more effectively and understand each other better. She’s been great.”

“Thank you for the motivation and encouragement that you always tell me during our session. Its not everyday I encounter people who help and motivates a stranger in a heartful way I got from you.”

“Donna has been so amazing! She listens to everything and helps me through every little bit. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and really appreciate all she’s done for me. I can’t wait to chatting to her again upon my return someday”
