Getting to know Heidi Khalil

Hi there, I'm Heidi! I am licensed in California with 20 years of professional experience. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I help clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, parenting issues, and coping with life changes. My approach Since 2012, I have taught MSW students at USC, focusing on evidence-based therapies—scientifically evaluated treatments that show consistent improvement. In my therapy practice, I use evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavior therapy, problem-solving therapy, and psychodynamic work. I am currently getting certified as an EMDR therapist from the EMDR Institute. Since April 2023, I have used EMDR with clients and found it powerful and effective. My focus I worked with children and families for nine years but prefer play therapy, which this platform doesn’t support. I also work with adolescents and adults and feel competent treating them. EMDR has been very effective for trauma, anxiety, and depression. Other areas include addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, intimacy, sleep disorders, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching, compassion fatigue, ADHD, aging and geriatric issues, coping with disasters, divorce, family of origin issues, fertility, guilt, shame, midlife crisis, multicultural concerns, obsessions, compulsions, OCD, PTSD, self-love, social anxiety, phobia, trichotillomania, and women’s issues. My communication style I create an open, safe environment where clients are encouraged to share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
