Sobia Khan
Naperville Counselor

I believe that mental illness is not a choice.  Recovery is possible with the right support, compassion and connection. I am a Licensed Social Worker who earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Aurora University. I began my career as a group facilitator with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), where I developed a deep appreciation for the power of community, shared experiences and feeling truly understood. 

I have experience working with adolescents and adults. I am passionate about working with teens by implementing strategies to make therapy effective.  I am committed to creating an inclusive and affirming space where people of all identities and lived experiences feel welcome. I approach therapy with cultural humility and recognize how culture and community shape how we experience mental health and healing. I strive to create an inclusive space where clients can show up as their authentic selves. Creating an environment for clients to learn and grow is one of my goals. My areas of interest include supporting clients struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and supporting clients who are navigating complex family dynamics. 

I strongly believe that meaningful change happens within a trusting therapeutic relationship. Building a genuine connection with my clients is at the heart of my work. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected and supported. Through psychoeducation, modeling and open conversation, I work alongside my clients to better understand their experiences, identify barriers and develop tools that promote healing, resilience and lasting well-being.
