Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Munesah Khan, MSW, LCSW
I received my Masters in Social Work from Loyola University of Chicago and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am trained in DBT and CBT and work with adolescents and young adults facing challenges related to life transitions, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I have worked in various clinical environments including residential, inpatient and outpatient centers. While there, I worked with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, self-harm, suicidal ideation and school refusal.
I follow a supportive and motivational approach, emphasizing the importance of accountability and goal attainment as essential components of success. My objective is to inspire others to remain aligned with their values, while encouraging personal growth.
When I’m not working, you can find me trying out new restaurants, binge watching makeup tutorials and impulsively buying new skin/hair care.
