About Paul Jaffe
Drawing on a strengths-based perspective, he encourages individuals to view their challenges through the lens of their capabilities while embracing accountability and honesty as routes to personal growth. He integrates mindfulness techniques and, when clients are comfortable, a spiritual viewpoint into the therapeutic work.
Paul helps those who struggle with self-blame and persistent negative self-talk to regain a more balanced sense of self, moving away from extremes of perfectionism or hopelessness. He emphasizes calm, trustworthy dialogue as a practical way to address personal problems and foster change.
His work also attends to related concerns such as abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, control issues, coping with natural or human-caused disaster, divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose, and men's issues.
Clinically, Paul draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, mindfulness-based methods, and somatic approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. He provides services in English and practices in California. He is not currently accepting new clients.
