About Sanna Khoja, LPC
Transform your mental health with a South Asian therapist in Texas
Work with a South Asian therapist in Houston, Texas
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Houston, TX. I see clients across Texas via telehealth.
My main focus is somatic therapy, which means I work with body-based approaches instead of just talk therapy. The methods I use most are EMDR, Brainspotting, ERP for OCD, and parts work. I also offer therapy intensives for people who want to work in a more concentrated format.
I am South Asian, neurodivergent, and an LGBTQ ally. That is not background information. It is part of how I work.
I am not a formal therapist. My clients and I laugh. I will share something personal if you ask me directly. I run a few minutes late sometimes. I am a human being doing this work, not a professional performing it.
I’m also genuinely results-oriented. I want to see you change, not just cope. I have watched it happen over and over with my clients, and I believe it is possible for most people who are willing to do the work.
You can talk about whatever you want, in whatever way you want. No formal tone required. You can curse, you can not know what you want to talk about, and you can be a mess. All of that is fine.
You do not have to share anything you are not ready to share. We go at your pace.
Also, I am neurodivergent. I might talk a lot, lose my train of thought, or be a few minutes late. I am not a perfectly polished professional. If you want someone who will show up as a real person and actually be in it with you, that is what I offer.
Who I Work Best With
My clients are usually thoughtful people who have some self-awareness but have not been able to change their patterns on their own or through previous therapy. A lot of them are professionals, entrepreneurs, or creatives. Many are South Asian or from other communities of color. Many are navigating anxiety, OCD, or the long-term effects of childhood experiences.
I am probably not the right fit if you are looking for a formal professional who keeps a strict distance. I am also not the right fit if you are in acute psychiatric crisis or need medication management, because that is a different level of care than I provide.
If you are not sure, just reach out. I would rather have a short conversation and point you somewhere better than have you end up in the wrong place.
