Congratulations, starting the journey towards seeking help is one of the biggest step. My name is Assaf Jaffe and over the past 20 years it has been my privilege to walk alongside client working to make changes. Having trained in Holistic Therapy at Native American Health Center I have tremendous experience with trauma, anxiety, depression and treating addictive disorders. In these communities I learned the importance of connecting with my clients on a deep interpersonal basis. I also learned that having a variety of effective techniques to reduce symptoms and problems was vitally effective once a solid relation was established. As a strength based Psychologist, I strongly feel I can engage my client in the aspects of their life that are already most successful and utilize these tools to address their current problems. IF you think solution focused individual, couples or family therapy can benefit you currently, I believe I am the ideal therapist for you.
The first session is a collaborative and supportive assessment with a treatment planning component. These sessions generally allow the client to get to know their provider ask any questions and start to express their needs and where they want to be at the end of their treatment.
I provide induvial, couples and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. Most of my techniques are briefer in nature and intended to provide significant gains in the most effective manner and on n accelerated timeline. I specialize in treating depression and anxiety with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy . For individuals with trauma or severe anxiety I provide therapies based on exposure principles such as exposure with response prevention and also mindfulness techniques. For individuals who are interested I am trained in and provide hypnotherapy services for anxiety and addictive disorders. I also provide EFT or emotion focused therapy in couples and for individuals who report issues managing and expressing themselves around interpersonal feelings. For individuals attempt
Every path and every journey through healing is so specific, personal and unique. I have come to believe that my greatest strength as a therapist is my deep belief in healing and appreciation for personal strength and resilience. Working in Native Communities I have come to believe that intangible attributes such as humor and spiritual connection can provide as much protection and value as medication and exercise. My belief in holistics or balance is pervasive in the work I do.
