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.

Here are the Counselling Services that we offer:
Adaptation Adjustment
There is no singular approach or treatment for adaptation or adjustment to create change. However, there are different techniques that professional registered counsellors can use to support individuals going through these challenging times in a more balanced and helpful way.
Anxiety
Our counsellors offer a holistic approach to the treatment of anxiety, which includes addressing the psychological, physical and social factors that contribute to its development. By offering a combination of therapy techniques, coping mechanisms, and education, we can help clients manage and overcome their anxiety.
Assertiveness
Our assertiveness workshops help individuals become more confident, assertive, and empowered in their personal and professional relationships, leading to improved communication, healthier boundaries, and greater self-respect.
Couples & Family
We work with couples or families to help them identify core issues and develop effective coping strategies for resolving their differences and conflicts. Counsellors can act as a mediator, helping to facilitate communication and understanding between partners or family members.
Career & Education
Our counsellors help individuals identify and pursue their educational and career goals. We support clients in this area by providing guidance, assessment, and support to help them make informed decisions about their education and career paths.
Depression
We support our clients process their emotions and develop coping strategies to manage their symptoms. Through counselling, we help individuals understand the root cause of their depression and work towards addressing those underlying issues. By offering practical tools and techniques, we help our clients better manage their symptoms.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapeutic tool that a therapist named Dr. Francine Shapiro developed in the early 1990s to treat PTSD. EMDR is best known for its effectiveness in helping people who suffer from anxiety or distressing memories, nightmares, insomnia, abuse, or other traumatic events.
PTSD
Individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can benefit greatly from the support of a counsellor. Our counsellors can provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can process their emotions and experiences related to their trauma so that they can understand their own experiences and normalize their feelings.
Separation Divorce
Individuals who are going through a separation or divorce may experience a range of emotions such as anger, sadness, grief, guilt or even relief. Our counsellors will listen, empathize, and provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment for the individual to talk about their feelings and to help them navigate through the difficult process they are going through.
Trauma
Trauma can be caused by a range of events, such as physical or emotional abuse, natural disasters, accidents, and more. Trauma can have negative effects on an individual’s mental and physical health, relationships, and overall well-being. Our counsellors support individuals who are experiencing trauma by teaching them coping skills to work through the trauma.
