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.

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jamaica

Searching for therapists in Jamaica starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. Some people look for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or work stress. Others may want a therapist with experience in a specific approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Reading each therapist’s profile can help you see their listed specialties, therapy style, and what a first session may be like.

In Jamaica and nearby Queens neighborhoods, in-person appointment options may depend on office location, transit access, and schedule fit. Virtual therapy can expand your options if local appointment times are limited or if it fits better with your calendar. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. A therapist’s bio can also give you a clearer sense of how they communicate and who they commonly support.

Therapy in Jamaica can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is a reliable way to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
