Learn From the Past, Thrive in Your Present
Harmony • Balance • Solutions
"Anyone can benefit from psychotherapy. No problem is too big or too little to discuss. Let's talk."
– Chamin Ajjan
What We Do
We offer support to our community through individual, couple and group psychotherapy services, accessible workshops and relevant blog posts tailored to fit your lifestyle, needs and goals.
Ditch the Dating Game, Find Real Connection
Transform dating and the often-fraught search for a fulfilling relationship into a fun, exciting adventure using mindfulness techniques and practices.
Every stage of the dating process, from finding someone to date, to developing a relationship, has its own particular difficulties. Seeking Soulmate will help you develop the most important benefit of mindful dating: the ability to let your genuine, most attractive self emerge. This is how real relationships with the actual staying power are formed.
About Us
Chamin Ajjan Psychotherapy is a boutique outpatient group psychotherapy practice dedicated to providing personalized, quality care and services to our clients.
As a psychotherapist, author, educator and supervisor, Chamin has seen how important comfort and connection are to the therapeutic process. Feeling judged, misunderstood, marginalized and minimized are themes that, if present, will impede progress. Bringing this awareness into each session, along with 20+ years of experience and extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Sex Therapy, informs the way our clinicians approach therapy and the privilege of supporting you. Trained by Chamin, each psychotherapist has been carefully vetted and chosen because of their top tier education, exceptional clinical skills, warmth and commitment to social justice.
Mind-Body Treatments
The mind and the body are one. We often rely on what the mind is telling us and ignore the wisdom our body is sharing with us. When we are aware of the mind-body connection we are more equipped to handle life’s challenges. This is why evidence-based mind-body treatments along with problem solving/skills building therapeutic approaches are used in our work with individuals, couples and groups.
We integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Mindfulness Practices and create a treatment plan collaboratively with you to achieve your goals. At times we may pull from other treatment models to tailor care and interventions to your individual needs.
Thoughtful and sensitive care is offered to those dealing with issues related to:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Childhood Sexual Abuse Survivors
- Trauma
- Social Anxiety
- Sexual Issues
- Self Esteem
- Transitions
- Stress Reduction
- Relationships
- LGBTQ+
- And more
