Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Jamaica, NY covered by Cigna

I've worked successfully with race-and class-diverse, LGBT and straight clients from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other life transitions. Clients come with anxiety, identity issues, relationship or work problems, trouble managing anger...My style is warm yet analytical, and interactive. I encourage laughter! I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully--and joyfully.

I am a Double Board-Certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health and family health. As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I use an integrative and holistic approach to mental health. As a family nurse practitioner, I take into consideration how physical health impacts mood and relationships. I employ evidence-based medication management. Together, we can pinpoint what's causing you stress and navigate towards a balanced state. I employ brief supportive psychotherapy in every session to help patients manage their emotions, particularly those dealing with chronic illnesses or experiencing high levels of stress. By offering empathy and validation, I aim to strengthen coping mechanisms, boost resilience, and enhance overall mental well-being.

Hi there and welcome!

My priority is supporting clients on their journeys towards personal healing & growth.

In 2010, I received my MSW/LMSW. While doing outpatient clinical work at the NYC non-profit agency JBFCS, I became an LCSW. In 2016, I began to establish my private psychotherapy practice, focusing on young and professional adults presenting with a broad variety of life challenges.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and a strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful progress and lasting change. My approach is grounded in a strengths-based, client-centered perspective that supports each person’s capacity for growth and self-understanding. I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing stress, or seeking greater self-awareness, therapy can provide a space for reflection, healing, and meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Chamin!

I bring over 25 years of experience to my work with individuals, couples, and groups, helping them move from feeling overwhelmed to truly empowered. My expertise has led to regular media contributions on platforms like The TODAY Show and CBS Sunday Morning, and I am the author of Seeking Soulmate: Ditch the Dating Game and Find Real Connection. I founded Chamin Ajjan Psychotherapy to provide a warm, welcoming, and supportive space where clinical excellence meets compassionate care and a little pop culture when I can throw it in. We are the regional clinic for the National Social Anxiety Center providing evidence-based treatment that upholds the rigorous standards of the organization. I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges with a collaboration rooted in deep experience and practical, effective tools.

Our couples or relationship therapy framework is designed for partners seeking to rebuild intimacy, improve communication, and navigate life transitions. Please note: Our outpatient practice does not provide crisis intervention, court-mandated counseling, high-conflict mediation, or active separation/divorce litigation services.

My guiding values are liberation and justice, and I strive to serve those values with everything I do as a therapist. I've been working in non-profit organizations with the LGBTQ+ community, people with a psychiatric diagnosis and unhoused people since 2006, and started practicing as a psychotherapist in 2018. My practice is focused on healing the trauma and attachment wounds that underly depression, anxiety and other challenges that limit our capacity to thrive.

Hey there! I hope you will not hang out with me for a long time. I am here to evaluate your challenge and suggest a way out of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and such. Therapy must be short and effective, not a drag.

I offer:

• Short-term holistic therapy. It means we look at your lifestyle and mainly: what you think, what you believe in, if you are physically active, if you eat junk, drink sodas and alcohol, if you watch junk, and how you dress. Your posture matter as well. All of these are pillars of your success for your mental health.

If you need diagnostic evals for your schools and work:

• Borderline Personality Disorder evaluations
• ADHD & Autism evaluations

If you think you are super strange and have nobody to talk to about your UFO abductions and psychic visits- you are at the right place.

I offer clinically rooted and evidence based sessions

• Support for dissociation , UFO dreams, out-of-body experiences and all that cool staff.
• ESA psychiatric evaluations for qualified NYC clients

I hold a degree in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University School of Social Work and am a licensed psychotherapist in New York City.

I’m a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and drama therapist who works with women and young adults navigating anxiety, eating disorder recovery, substance use, and life transitions.

I have experience in inpatient rehab and use a harm reduction, nonjudgmental approach. My work combines talk therapy with creative techniques when helpful—though there’s no pressure to be “artistic.”

As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that an empathic approach creates an environment, in which, trust and curiosity can flourished, facilitating the adjustment to an already difficult process. The relationship between psychotherapist and patient constitutes an important tool, in the understanding of patient's past and present behaviors.

I hold a BS Degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Cornell University and an MA in Art Therapy from NYU. I am licensed by the State of NY and nationally Board Certified by ATCB. Fluent in Italian; Certificate in Trauma and Creative Arts; IFS-informed, post-Master's level trainings in CBT, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and IMAGO relationship therapy. 20 years experience with people from 3-99.
