Chana Jaffe
Clinical Mental Health Counseling Student Intern
At the root of my work is the belief that the answers you’re looking for are already inside of you. Sometimes we lose touch with that part of ourselves through trauma or the ways we learned to survive. Therapy can be a place to slow down, listen inward, and begin uncovering the truth of who you are beneath it all.
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic, existential and attachment-based therapy, with space for questions around spirituality, meaning, and what it means to be human. My background in yoga also shapes how I work. I believe the body holds its own wisdom, and when it feels right, I may bring somatic work or meditation into our sessions.
I also work with people looking to make sense of psychedelic experiences, including ayahuasca, psilocybin, and other psychedelics or plant medicines. I do not provide, administer, prescribe, or facilitate the use of psychedelics or plant medicines. My work is focused solely on integration and therapeutic support surrounding experiences that have already occurred. Sometimes these experiences bring something to the surface that can be hard to understand or know what to do with afterward. Having a place to talk about what came up can help you find meaning in the experience and explore how you want to carry it into your life. I’m not here to give you the answers. I’m here to help you hear your own.
