Why Chaya Lerner chose to be in the helping profession

I chose to enter the helping profession because I have an unwavering passion for supporting individuals during their most challenging times. As a Jewish social worker based in vibrant Miami, FL, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care to those in need. With over three decades of experience under my belt, I have developed a special expertise in working with grief and loss, trauma, and gender orientation issues. I understand that life can feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling disconnected and unaccepted by our loved ones. It is my belief that everyone deserves acceptance and support for who they truly are, which is why I am dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of my clients.

Chaya Lerner's approach

In my approach to therapy, I draw upon a range of techniques to help individuals create fulfilling lives. Through my extensive training and experience, I have found great success in integrating various modalities such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based therapy, and hypnotherapy. DBT equips individuals with valuable skills to manage their emotions effectively and cultivate healthier relationships. Meanwhile, mindfulness-based therapy encourages clients to embrace the present moment, fostering self-awareness and personal growth. I also employ hypnotherapy techniques to help individuals overcome obstacles and achieve positive transformations. By combining these approaches, I strive to empower my clients to navigate their challenges, find healing, and unlock their full potential.

What you can expect from sessions with Chaya Lerner

During sessions with me, clients can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment where they can freely express their thoughts, emotions, and concerns. I understand the sensitive and deeply personal nature of the issues we explore together, including bereavement and grief, gender identity, LGBTQIA+ and sexuality topics, sexual health, and trauma. My goal is to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship, one that promotes trust and encourages open dialogue. I firmly believe that through exploration, healing, and personal development, individuals can achieve lasting and transformative change.

Chaya Lerner's experience working with the Jewish community

Having had the privilege of working extensively within the Jewish community in Miami, FL, I possess a profound understanding of the unique challenges and cultural sensitivities that individuals within this community may face. I am well-versed in Jewish traditions, customs, and values, enabling me to provide culturally competent care that respects and honors these important aspects of my client's lives. It is my sincere commitment to support individuals within the Jewish community, tailoring my approach to address their specific needs and concerns. By leveraging my expertise as a social worker and my deep understanding of the Jewish community, I offer compassionate support that fosters holistic well-being.
