More About Dr. Jeffrey Chernin
Therapy for Individuals
Tailoring treatment to you as an individual, I offer therapy that focuses on providing you with tools to better deal with life’s stresses and challenges. I generally work with adults who are experiencing several types of challenges, including:
- Panic attacks and anxiety
- Depression and trauma
- Dissatisfaction with a job or career
- Low self-esteem
- Loss of a loved one
- Problems with relationships
- Recovery issues

Psychotherapist In Los Angeles
We all need help sometimes. I provide a particular kind of therapy that’s designed to help you have more satisfaction, greater peace of mind, and more fulfillment. If you begin therapy, you’ll soon realize that my only intention is to help you feel and get better. Together we’d help you live the life you want to lead.
I treat people with a variety of challenges, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety, anxiety-related conditions, and stress
- Trauma, including PTSD and abuse
- Low self-esteem
- Dissatisfaction with your relationship or job
- Recovery issues
Have people been telling you that you should ‘get over it’ or ‘move on’? Do you feel stuck because you can’t? It’s essential for me – as for any psychotherapist – to help you to:
- Work on your issues as you feel accepted
- See that I'm working diligently to help you overcome your difficulties without fear of judgment
- Know that you're in a safe, productive place for you to learn, grow, and change
Approach to Therapy
Therapy for Couples
All couples have conflict, but unfortunately the way you communicate with each other can make the situation worse. Part of what I do is interrupt long-standing patterns of communicating with a focus on quickly getting to the core issues that impact intimacy and communication. In couples counseling, we will work together so that you can:
- Communicate more effectively
- Resolve conflicts
- Appreciate the relationship and each other
- Restore closeness
- Deal with issues related to sex
With over 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy, I believe that therapy is more than simply changing behaviors or eliminating symptoms.
At its best, therapy is a process of discovery. Although a psychotherapist should be knowledgeable about change, you know your life best. That’s why we’d work together to develop goals for psychotherapy and how to achieve them.
I’m a therapist, author, and have taught at two universities as an adjunct professor in psychology, counseling, and psychotherapy. After graduating with a Degree in Counseling with a minor in Psychology, I became a licensed psychotherapist in 1992. I obtained a Ph.D. in Counseling in 1996.
My education has included extensive training to provide therapy for individuals. The university I attended was certified by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Educational Programs for therapists, which sets high standards for counseling and psychotherapy programs.
After graduating, I gained over 3,000 hours of supervised experience in counseling and therapy before starting as a licensed psychotherapist in non-profit community centers and in private practice.
Since then, I have attended hundreds of additional hours of training in subjects such as psychotherapy and counseling, psychology, wellness, depression, and anxiety.
