I am a clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience working with couples and adults who want to better understand themselves, and work towards creating the lives and relationships they crave. I am passionate about helping people reconnect to themselves, their hopes, and their autonomy. I specialize in relational/marital challenges, anxiety, grief, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.
Hello, I’m Vincent. I am a Licensed Psychoanalyst/Psychotherapist (LP) with a private practice in Manhattan, offering both in-person and telehealth sessions. I bring my own lived experiences and cultural attunement into the room to build a deeply trusting and authentic therapeutic alliance with my clients.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York State, practicing out of New York City. I work with adolescents and adults who experience a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, the after-effects of trauma, overthinking, procrastination, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and challenges related to identity and values. I also specialize in working with family members of individuals who suffer from severe mental illness.
When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.
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. I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges with a collaboration rooted in deep experience and practical, effective tools.
I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hempstead
Finding the right therapist in Hempstead starts with getting clear on what you need support with. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who has experience with your specific situation can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus.
Hempstead and the surrounding Nassau County area have a large number of practicing mental health providers, which can make narrowing your options feel like a project in itself. Consider what matters most to you beyond credentials — things like whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, a provider's communication style, and whether their availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you get a sense of their approach and decide if they might be a good match.
Therapy on Long Island can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated session costs upfront before you book.
