Mindfulness and psychodynamic work in online sessions
Chaya uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice physical and emotional experience in the moment and reduce reactivity. These practices can help when anxiety, stress, or body image distress feel overwhelming.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns in relationships and early experiences that keep repeating. That work can make sense of difficult reactions and guide changes people want to make in their lives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chaya will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. She checks in about how a technique is working and adjusts the plan together.
