The Founder
Dr. Sherry H.G. Khani
PsyD, RCC, CCC
Is a highly respected psychotherapist and counsellor, author, public speaker, presenter, an advocate based in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, who has been empowering, educating, and supporting adults and children. Throughout her career, Dr. Ghorbankhani has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to assisting individuals and families in overcoming a wide range of personal, emotional, and mental health challenges, enabling them to lead more fulfilling lives. Her therapeutic services are thoughtfully provided in three languages: English, Arabic, and Farsi, all of which she fluently speaks.
For the past 12 years, she has been offering counseling services under the banner of Shining Horizon Counselling. The culmination of her academic journey and passion for supporting others to thrive to the best of their talents and abilities, led her to the establishment of the Catalyst Mind Center. This visionary step was taken with the intent to enhance the creation of positive change in the lives of individuals, children, and adults through challenging their mindset. The center offers an integrated approach that combines offering challenging educational programs and counseling services all under one roof.
Dr. Ghorbankhani holds a Doctorate Degree in Psychology (PsyD) and has conducted several research, including one that delved into the Educational, Mental, and Emotional Effects of Delayed Assessment and Educational Alterations for Gifted Students. Her master’s degree thesis, “Narcissus and Echo: Narcissistic Personality Disorder Examined,” brought to light the complexities of narcissistic personalities and their influence on those around them.
Her professional affiliations include being a member of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) with the designation of Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC).
Dr. Ghorbankhani’s literary contribution, “The Hidden Genius,” is a comprehensive and insightful book that is essential reading for anyone with an interest in gifted individuals and an understanding of the unique learning needs of gifted children. Whether you are a parent, teacher, counselor, or simply someone seeking knowledge and support for a gifted child, this book is a valuable addition to your library.
In addition to her group practice, Dr. Ghorbankhani continues to collaborate with a wide array of public and private organizations and projects. Her empathetic approach and ability to establish deep connections with clients have earned her an exceptional reputation. She specializes in various practice areas, encompassing adaptations, relationships, giftedness, cross-cultural counselling, anxiety, and depression.
What sets Dr. Ghorbankhani apart is her holistic approach to therapy. She emphasizes the importance of treating individuals as a whole, rather than merely addressing some of their symptoms. She collaboratively and nonjudgmentally works with her clients to develop personalized treatment plans that are tailored to their unique needs and goals.
Her therapeutic methods are grounded in evidence-based practices while keeping herself informed about the latest used research and technique methods in psychology. She is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which, when necessary, complements her therapeutic work.
