Shazia Khan, LPC

A little about me

I’m Shazia, a LPC who works with individuals and couples moving through grief, regret, and shame. I earned my degree from the University of Houston, and I spent part of my career in palliative care at Texas Children’s Hospital, where I learned to sit with families through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

I often work with people who have lost a loved one, are adjusting to an empty nest, have ended a significant relationship, or carry shame and regret in their roles as adult children, partners, caregivers, or professionals. I also work with clients healing from complex trauma and those trying to reconnect with a sense of purpose after a major life change.

I’m also trained in Gottman-based couples therapy and help partners strengthen their connection, communicate more effectively, and understand how their individual histories show up in the relationship.

As a mother of three and an empty nester myself, I know firsthand that life transitions can bring both loss and the chance to begin again.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. I’ll ask what brought you in, what you’re hoping will change, and a bit about your history and the people who matter in your life. You’re welcome to share at whatever pace feels right; there’s no pressure to tell everything at once.

You can expect a non-judgmental, safe space where you feel heard. By the end of the session, we’ll have a sense of your goals and a starting plan for how we’ll work toward them. My hope is that you leave feeling a little lighter and clearer about the next step.
