Life begins when you know who you are. But the path to self-knowledge can be fraught and hard to find. “Be yourself,” “create yourself,” “find yourself”–these are some of the injunctions that might waylay any earnest seeker. When we learn to sit with the uncomfortable parts of self–the parts that make us want to crawl out of our skin–revelation can occur.
Talk therapy can be a place to learn how to be interested in ourselves and in our past. When we learn to love ourselves the way we wish to be loved, our relationships can flourish. We can deepen our genuine interest in others. When it works, psychotherapy can inspire incredible capacity and resolve to bend towards the future and embrace change
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.
As a licensed psychologist, I help clients achieve their goals and overcome challenges through a collaborative and evidence-based approach. Using a culturally responsive cognitive behavior therapy framework, I create a safe space for self-exploration and making meaningful change. Working together, my clients have reported improved mood, relationships, and self-image. I have helped clients change unhelpful habits, adjust to life transitions, and reach their goals.
As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I am a firm believer in the importance of taking care of your mental health. I have worked with individuals, families, and groups of all ages, supporting clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice, where I work with children, adults, and families to navigate life’s most meaningful (and challenging) moments. Whether you're facing a transition, parenting stress, emotional overwhelm, or relationship struggles, I provide a warm, collaborative space to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and begin the process of change. I offer both in-person sessions in Westchester and virtual therapy across New York State.
Hello — I’m Dr. Nikkah, a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate interpersonal relationships and personal conflicts. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues or life transitions. My therapeutic style is eclectic, as I have training in a multitude of therapeutic modalities, e.g. CBT, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused etc. to best match your specific needs.

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 believe that we all carry the weight of our experiences, which shape how we move through the world. It is my genuine intention to understand my client's unique perspectives and welcome them to bring all parts of themselves into our work together. With connection, compassion and curiosity, I offer a welcoming space where I center you as the expert of your own experience.
I partner with my clients to attend to difficult areas in life, while reflecting on their resilience. By centering your experiences and truths, I bring warmth and openness to our relationship. It is my hope that my clients achieve a better understanding of themselves and move towards fulfillment and healing.
I have specialized training and expertise in working through experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues and life transitions.

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 Yonkers
Finding the right therapist in Yonkers starts with getting clear on the type of care you need. Therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training and specialties. If you're looking for talk therapy to address anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship concerns, a licensed therapist or counselor (such as an LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT) is a common starting point. If you need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help. Many providers on Headway offer both.
Yonkers is home to a diverse range of neighborhoods — from Getty Square and Nodine Hill to Park Hill and the waterfront — and residents across the city have access to providers who offer virtual sessions, in-person appointments, or both. When evaluating a potential therapist, consider their experience with your specific concerns, their therapy approach, and whether their availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's full bio can help you understand their style before you commit.
Therapy in the New York City metro area can be expensive without insurance. One of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs is to see an in-network provider. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Yonkers who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
