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.

Are you... A young adult struggling in the attempt to to navigate life transitions, school, the workforce, family life or other issues?
Or a couple having trouble finding the right words to communicate and find expression in your relationship?
You can thrive.



Hi! I’m Hudi Kowalsky, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a passion to help teens and young adults find meaning and purpose in their lives.



How my practice is different:


Goal Focused Therapy. I believe in short, goal-focused therapy. That’s why, we set goals and together we hit the ground running. If you put in the work, you’ll see results within 12 weeks. I know that’s a bold statement, but my past clients can attest to that.


Client Feedback. I check in periodically on your thoughts about the process. I want to hear from you, what’s working? What isn’t? Is there anything that you’d like to see different? And then I tweak it accordingly.



I know it can be hard to find the right therapist. Maybe you think it’s only for people with “serious” issues. Maybe you’ve been to a few therapists but you didn’t see change and you’re wondering what another therapist can offer you. Maybe you’re afraid of what people will think of you if you go to therapy. Maybe you’re not sure therapy is worth the investment.



I understand. That’s why I’m here to answer any questions you may have prior to booking an intake session.

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.
