Chava Abramovitz, LCSW's style

Why Chava Abramovitz, LCSW chose to be in the helping profession

So many of us have struggles, pains, and unmet needs! One of the benefits of having grown through my own difficult experiences is the ability to join the chain of those who reach out to help another in need of support. We can only give what we own and truly know, and part of the blessing of having traveled a path of challenge and growth is the opportunity to pass it forward. There is nothing more exciting and compelling for me than to accompany another who's willing to be vulnerable and honest on the journey to their higher self.

Chava Abramovitz, LCSW's approach

After working about 5 years as a psychotherapist with people from all segments of society (and I mean ALL!) I understood that most people's suffering stemmed from relationship and attachment trauma. Whether long-term (complex CPTSD) or single-event trauma, the impact on the mind can take root early. It can continue to change the way we learn to be- both within ourselves with others.
To address these needs, I trained and became certified in the most current evidence-based modalities: Sensorimotor (somatic) Psychotherapy, Psychedelic/Somatic/Sound Therapy, IFS, Brainspotting, EMDR, Havening, Mindfulness and EFT (Tapping). Based on your specific needs and preferences, we'll use a blend of these skills to address your struggles at their core. You can save a lot of your time by not staying stuck in your 'old story', but instead shifting your mind's focus to the strengths of the present.
By allowing regulation to happen through our therapeutic relationship, you gain the ability to remain feeling safe in the present, focused on support, acceptance, and empowerment. This continued experience builds new neuropathways in the brain, allowing your mind to settle into a state of regulation. Another option offered is the use of legal psychedelic medicines in session. When safely used they can gently and quickly move you into the self you're seeking to be.

Chava Abramovitz, LCSW's experience working with the Jewish community

I have spent many years working closely within the Orthodox community, gaining familiarity with and an appreciation of, the widening range of Jews and their experiences. This has offered me unique insights into the dynamics of our communities, as well as particular individual challenges. I approach my work with an open mind and a deep understanding of the diverse needs of my clients. My goal is to create a welcome and supportive environment where people from all backgrounds can explore their unique experiences and concerns. I'm involved in the growing Jewish psychedelic world, helping to create platforms for education, safety, and training. I'm the creator of "Neve Devorah", a new safety initiative, offering an Emotional Support Team for private or public events. We provide a dedicated presence and a Safe Zone, to support substance use or emotional needs for any size gathering.
