Mahin Khader, MS, LPC (she/her)

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Intake Coordinator at Wildflower Center for Emotional Health. As a clinician, I place a lot of value on the therapeutic relationship and my goal is to meet each client where they’re at while creating a safe environment that will facilitate growth and healing. I take a similar approach in my role as an intake coordinator, utilizing compassionate curiosity to place each client with a clinician who will be a great fit for them. I attune to the fact that psychotherapy is a unique experience for each individual. I strive to understand and honor your preferences and needs.
In psychotherapy, I use a person-centered therapeutic approach while also incorporating evidence-based modalities such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention. I approach therapy with genuine curiosity, empathy, and openness while placing an emphasis on fostering a strong, authentic connection with every client.
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Roosevelt University and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of North Texas. I have experience with anxiety disorders, depression, life transitions, eating disorders, trauma, self-esteem/self-compassion issues, grief/loss, and other life stressors. I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families in various settings including inpatient/residential treatment centers and other outpatient settings. I’m a believer in lifelong learning. Most recently, I have been focusing on expanding my expertise in the areas of perinatal mental health and sexuality.

More about me
I love doing home improvement projects, and feel that I’m pretty handy/crafty. I really enjoy putting things together (especially IKEA furniture) and think that I can recreate anything if I try.
A couple of my favorite self-care activities are cooking and baking, I have a lot of fun finding new recipes to experiment with.
Traveling is one of my passions, and I’m always looking for more places to visit.
