Meet Amna Khan | who is a full-time mental health clinical therapist and a full-time content creator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Amna Khan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amna, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Behind any success there is a lot of Hard work. Success is not handed or is by any luck. The simple formula to any successful story is a lot of discipline and hard work. When I started my creative journey, I had to balance a lot of things in life. Figuring out time management as a full-time clinician, and a content creator required a lot of dedication. I also had personal commitments that I had to work around. It almost felt like I was always clocked in to work. Sometimes I did not feel motivated, but I kept going. Because I knew the formula to success is self-discipline and consistency. There were times of doubt many actually, but I did not let that voice get loud, and I continued to believe in myself. A lot of people discouraged me as well, and tried making this journey harder for me. But I did not let their noise bring me down. You can say I get it from my dad to never care about what other people think. Also, confidence comes from within it is something you should never give anyone the power over. Many people out there will try to break your confidence, but remember these are the hurdles a lot of people have to face in order to be successful.

As time went by the recognition of my work felt really good. Each year I had new goals to improve on, and took it one step at a time. The bottom line is it did not happen overnight. It required years’ worth of dedication. There were hurdles down the road. The number one reason a lot of people give up on their dreams is because they lose motivation or they let other people shatter their dreams. And I always say my favorite thing about anything you are wanting to achieve is that motivation will get you started, but eventually it will fade away and that is when it is the discipline that has to kick in. You cannot give up when motivation fades away. You have to keep moving and practice discipline.  Only then will you get the success you are dreaming about.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I have two full time Jobs’s that I am so blessed to do each day. I am a mental health therapist. My goal is to serve those who struggle with Trauma, Personality Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, and other Emotional Disorders. I believe trauma whether one time incident or ongoing incidents can be the root cause to other mental health issues. My philosophy is that anyone can overcome anything, with the right help.

My second job is that I am a content creator. I am an influencer based in Atlanta, Ga. My goal on social media platform is to bring awareness for everyday women. With my background in clinical therapy, I use creativity, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle to bring awareness for mental health as well. Most importantly my aim is to bring confidence and self-growth for my audience, And for my community.

This year I also started a YouTube Chanel and started a series of live series on Instagram to cover topics on mental health for every day women. Topics covered toxic relationships, how to be more confident, building self esteem and empowerment. And the series in 2023 will come with even more topics. We usually do polls on our social media and let people decide what topics they would like us to cover and talk about.

I hope in 2023 to take my social media to another level by spreading love, positivity and mental health awareness.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My husband and I are very active people. We love to do outdoor activities. We love exploring new parks throughout Georgia and hiking.

We love to cook food and create meals together. However, when going out we love to explore Atlanta and dine out. We love Mediterranean restaurants. Also, Avalon mall is a really nice place to take a guest explore and maybe end the night with a nice dinner and movies.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I manage social media with being a full-time therapist. Sometimes it can be a lot, and if I didn’t have the support from my husband, I don’t know how I would have managed. He helps me and supports me so much in my journey and so grateful for him. Could have not done it without him. He is my number one supporter, and I want to give him a shout out for believing in me and cheering me on in this journey. He has been my rock, and has helped me manage both jobs so beautifully. He also is my photographer and videographer,  and I must say he is really good. And the pictures here are taken by him. As you can see his work speaks itself. Reallu proud of him.
