Chavie Brumer

Chavie Brumer, LCSW, MBA graduated with degrees in Psychology and Social Work in 1995 and 1997 respectively, and with an MBA in 2017. Since 1997, she has provided individual and family therapy using an experiential (deeper) and trauma focused approach within a respectful and non-judgmental environment. She helps people work through their deep-seated emotional pain from past or recent abuse, neglect, grief/loss, medical or other complex trauma, or from ruptured relationships using Somatic, IFS, Psychodrama, EMDR, meditative therapy and other treatment models (see her website for a complete list of her training). Chavie also focuses on attachment and developmental trauma (childhood trauma), with an in-depth awareness of how the mind and body relationship may have been disconnected during the trauma and how it can be repaired. Her integrative approach and ability to be in-tune with her clients goes beyond regular talk therapy and offers a way for the Self to re-experience itself, others and the world in a healthier way than what was perceived during earlier traumatized experiences.
She also offers psychoeducational and growth oriented groups using creative outlets, such as poetry, journaling, film, art, guided imagery, breathing and other relaxation and mindfulness exercises.
She has been an adjunct professor at a variety of American colleges for over 8 years.
Chavie's principles include building trust, integrity, honesty, respect, ethics, boundaries, as well as clear communication. She believes therapy is a partnership between the client and the therapist.
