About Khanie
My name is Khanie Ha. My last name, 何 (Ha), translates to the questions who, what, when, where, why, and how, questions that sit at the heart of my work with clients. Therapy, to me, offers the opportunity to slow down, reflect, and better understand the patterns, experiences, and meanings that shape how we move through the world. I am dually licensed in social work and acupuncture, with a master’s in social work and doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine. My dual training informs my integrative approach to care. I view emotional and physical experiences as deeply interconnected, and I believe many of the symptoms people experience whether anxiety, emotional distress, or chronic stress carry important information about what the mind and body are trying to process or communicate. In our work together, we explore these signals with curiosity and care, creating space for insight, regulation, and meaningful change.

My clinical approach blends psychotherapy with mind–body awareness. I draw from psychoanalytic and Jungian perspectives, including dream exploration and the examination of unconscious patterns, core belief work alongside trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and nervous system work. My background in Traditional Chinese Medicine also shapes how I think about balance, regulation, and the relationship between emotional and physical well-being.
Outside of my clinical work, I remain deeply interested in the intersection of psychology, neuroscience and spirituality. I believe healing is less about fixing what is “wrong” and more about restoring connection to oneself, to one’s body, and to one’s true essence.
