Meet The Founder
Dr. Sherry Ghorbankhani
Dr. Sherry holds a Doctorate Degree in Psychology (PsyD) and has conducted several research studies that have contributed to the field. She is a highly respected psychotherapist, counsellor, author, public speaker, and presenter. She is a passionate advocate for Inquiry-based learning and is dedicated to empowering both youth and adults in various domains where support is needed the most.
With an unwavering commitment, she continuously assists individuals, families, and organizations in overcoming diverse challenges, empowering them, and guiding them toward more fulfilling lives. Her therapeutic services are thoughtfully provided in three languages: English, Arabic, and Farsi, all of which she fluently speaks.
For the past 12 years, she has been offering counselling services under the banner of Shining Horizon Counselling. The culmination of her academic journey and passion for supporting others to thrive to the best of their abilities led her to the establishment of the Catalyst Mind Center. This visionary step was taken with the intent to enhance the creation of positive change in the lives of individuals, youth, and adults by challenging their mindsets. The center offers an integrated, holistic approach that combines counselling services and inquiry-based learning under one roof.
What sets Dr. Ghorbankhani apart from other clinical counsellors is her holistic approach to therapy. She emphasizes the importance of treating individuals rather than merely addressing some of their symptoms. She collaboratively and non-judgmentally works with her clients to develop personalized treatment plans that are tailored to their unique needs and goals. Her therapeutic methods are grounded in evidence-based practices while keeping herself informed about the latest research and technique methods used in psychology. She is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which, when necessary, complements her therapeutic work.
