About George Khamis, MA, LLP - Clinical Psychologist

At the heart of my work is a mission to redefine what’s possible in mental health and personal growth. I specialize in guiding individuals, families, and couples through profound transformations by addressing not just symptoms, but the deeper layers of the human experience. My approach goes beyond traditional methods, offering an integrative and dynamic pathway to healing and thriving.

Hello, I’m George Khamis, the founder and director of MI Wellbeing! My journey in the mental health field is deeply rooted in a passion for understanding the human mind and helping others navigate their mental health journeys with compassion and care. I began my academic career with a dual degree in Neuroscience and Psychology from Kalamazoo College, which laid the foundation for my integrative approach to therapy. Building on this, I earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Wayne State University, where I refined my expertise in evidence-based therapeutic practices.

After becoming licensed, I trained at Mala Family and Child Institute, specializing in conjoint child and family therapy. Currently, I am completing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. My doctoral work focuses on developing integrative treatment models for neurodiversity, specifically ADHD, Autism, and related conditions, addressing the unique challenges faced by these populations. I incorporate neurodiversity principles with somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, relational psychoanalysis, and other evidence-based practices to create personalized, holistic care plans that honor each person’s strengths and needs.

Living between Michigan and San Francisco, I am committed to fostering strong, supportive therapeutic relationships. I see clients in person whenever possible and offer telehealth sessions via phone and video to ensure continuity of care. Licensed by the State of Michigan (License #6361007730), I am dedicated to providing integrative, transformative mental health care to individuals and families.

My work is grounded in a belief that true healing emerges from honoring the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I strive to cultivate environments where clients feel deeply understood, respected, and empowered to embrace their unique journey. Each step of my work is guided by a commitment to innovation and compassion, helping clients not only navigate their challenges but also uncover their potential to thrive.

A Philosophy of Transformative Care

At MI Wellbeing, we believe that healing requires more than addressing symptoms—it demands a deeper understanding of the whole person. My work aligns with this vision, embracing the complexity of human experience and providing integrative, depth-based care that moves beyond surface-level solutions. My approach weaves together evidence-based methodologies and holistic practices to create a personalized journey toward healing and thriving. By focusing on the roots of challenges rather than just the symptoms, I help clients uncover profound insights, enabling long-lasting transformation in every area of their lives.

Depth-Based Individual Therapy

When working with individuals, I take a depth-oriented, psychodynamic approach that goes to the core of what drives behavior, emotions, and patterns. By exploring unconscious influences and long-standing emotional dynamics, I guide clients toward a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences. This work isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about building a foundation for genuine growth and self-discovery, empowering clients to live with greater authenticity, emotional freedom, and confidence.

I specialize in working with neurodiverse individuals, including those navigating ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, giftedness, and learning differences. My approach focuses on identifying strengths while addressing challenges like executive function deficits and emotional regulation. Drawing on my doctoral research, I’m developing innovative, neuro-affirmative methods to support this population. My ADHD and executive function coaching provides structured, actionable strategies for overcoming everyday obstacles and creating sustainable routines. This is more than just skill-building—it’s a transformative process that helps individuals unlock their potential, regain confidence, and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

Supporting Families and Couples

In addition to individual work, I have extensive experience with families and couples, addressing the intricate dynamics that shape relationships. Through attachment-based therapy, family systems work, and intergenerational trauma healing, I help clients unravel complex patterns and build stronger, more harmonious connections. My approach integrates relational psychodynamics, which delves into the deeper emotional undercurrents influencing relationships, creating space for profound shifts in understanding and intimacy. These methods can be life-changing, empowering families and couples to navigate challenges, foster communication, and achieve meaningful connection.

Somatic and Trauma-Informed Approaches

Trauma-informed care is central to my practice. I use somatic experiencing, polyvagal work, and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to help clients address unresolved trauma and regulate their nervous systems. These body-centered techniques allow clients to release tension, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and balance in their lives. The SSP, a music-based intervention, is particularly powerful in calming the nervous system and enhancing emotional regulation. These approaches are not only effective in trauma recovery but also in helping clients reconnect with themselves on a profound level, fostering a sense of grounding and calm that ripples into every aspect of their lives.

Holistic Wellness and Spiritual Integration

For those seeking a deeper connection to their spiritual identity or feeling spiritually lost, I offer holistic wellness and spiritual integration therapy. This work bridges the gap between psychological healing and spiritual growth, creating a pathway to greater alignment and purpose. Whether it’s exploring existential questions, navigating spiritual challenges, or integrating spiritual practices into daily life, this approach is designed to help clients find meaning, clarity, and fulfillment. By integrating spiritual exploration with therapeutic care, I help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and embrace their journey with renewed strength and confidence.

Every aspect of my work is designed to create lasting, meaningful change. By combining depth-oriented psychological care with cutting-edge research, somatic techniques, and holistic practices, I provide a truly integrative approach that addresses the complexities of each individual’s journey. At MI Wellbeing, this philosophy guides everything I do—helping clients uncover their potential, transform their challenges, and live with purpose, connection, and vitality.

True healing is a journey that transcends the surface of symptoms, reaching into the depths of the soul to uncover the root of challenges, transform wounds into wisdom, and ignite profound, lasting growth. It is an awakening, a meeting of the mind, body, and spirit in harmony, where the light of awareness shines through even the darkest places. Guided by this understanding, every step is intentional, every intervention a seed of transformation, designed to ripple through your life and awaken the boundless potential within.
