Meet Rania Khalil
pronouns: she/her, hers
LMSW
Therapy is a gift to ourselves and the spaces we inhabit. In therapy we make space to listen to and nurture our inner child and grow our practices of self care, which gives breathing room to ourselves and those we love. Therapy can also be political when we take a closer look at things we privately struggle with in relation to wider social oppression. Healing work is one aspect of my practice as an artist and educator. I teach in the MFA program at Parsons, the New School, and make art with a social and environmental justice focus, practices I see as all intertwined.
​
I use meditation, somatic movement, art therapy and talking in my practice. As the first generation child of Egyptian immigrants, I have understanding for folks with SWANA identities, Muslim and women of color, and BIPOC folx more generally. I specialize in work with couples and families, parenting and artists, to reconnect with us a sense of joy and possibility in our lives, love and labor.
