Hi, I'm Jasmine
I’m a graduate of Columbia University where I received my Master’s of Science in Social Work and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in African American Studies from UCLA. Trained at the Beck Institute of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and CAP, I specialize in working with those experiencing difficulties with trauma. I’m beyond thrilled to be a Psychotherapist at Chamin Ajjan Psychotherapy and working with this team.
A few words about me
I’m an ardent supporter of access to mental health care. I know that for some, seeking out therapy can still be a taboo subject, so my goal is to ensure that all clients feel empowered and safe in the space we provide.
I have always had a passion for serving others and have experience working in the non-profit sector. It was there that I realized my love for social work and social justice. I have worked with populations that have experienced depression, anxiety, domestic violence, housing insecurity, chronic illness, as well as developmental disabilities. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and utilize various theoretical frameworks to best support my clients based on their individual needs.
Why I became a psychotherapist?
I wholeheartedly believe in the positive impact that therapy can have on an individual’s life trajectory. I think that everyone should have access to a place where they can speak freely about what’s going on inside their head and their heart. I have post graduate training in cognitive behavioral therapy for trauma and I am passionate about working with those who are experiencing trauma, anxiety and grief, as well as those who are survivors of sexual violence. My ultimate desire is to provide compassion and support clients in finding and accessing the tools to live their best and most fulfilling lives. At the end of the day, my clients are the experts and I am merely here to assist in their growth and healing process.
