About Tania

Embodied Psychotherapy Integrating Psychological Depth with Spiritual Wisdom

 

Tania Chikhani Headshot

My Professional Background

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and professional astrologer. I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults and couples who have often done significant work on themselves, yet find that insight alone has not fully changed how they live, relate, make decisions or lead.

My approach brings together psychotherapy, somatic practice, spiritual psychology and embodied astrology within a grounded, integrative framework. The work explores not only what you think and feel, but the deeper patterns shaping your relationships, identity, body, history and sense of meaning that influence how you experience your life. We look at the whole picture.

The work is grounded in psychological depth while remaining open to the symbolic, spiritual, relational and holistic dimensions of human experience. Together, we translate understanding into lived experience, creating greater coherence between who you know yourself to be and how you actually live.

My work is informed by more than two decades of experience across clinical practice, international business, leadership and personal development.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in international business and marketing, gaining firsthand experience with achievement, leadership, organizational culture and the pressure to perform. My clinical work later brought me into a different but deeply connected world: the inner lives, relationships, histories and patterns that shape how people experience the lives they have built.

Today, I bring both perspectives into my work.

I understand the external structures of achievement as well as the internal experience that can exist beneath them. This allows me to work with the whole picture: your psychology and your relationships, your nervous system and your identity, your ambitions and your deeper sense of meaning.

My clinical and professional training spans psychotherapy, somatic approaches, couples work, spiritual psychology, astrology and systemic practice. My methods are trauma-informed, integrative and deeply compassionate, designed to help you restore coherence across Mind, Body AND Spirit.

I am experienced working with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, ADHD, heartbreak, marital distress, identity transitions and complex trauma,  including emotional, sexual and religious trauma. I also specialize in working with clinicians seeking to integrate symbolic frameworks such as astrology and family constellations into ethically grounded therapeutic practice.

My academic background includes a Master of Arts in Psychology from Columbia University, an MBA from Pepperdine University and a B.A. from McGill University, grounding my work in both analytical rigor as well as strategic depth.

This breadth allows me to draw from different perspectives while keeping the work grounded in clinical judgment, relational awareness and the individual needs of each client.

My Mission is Simple

To help you bring clarity, intuition, emotional regulation and inner alignment into full expression in your life, work and relationships.

Through an integrative approach that blends psychology, somatic practice and spiritual insight, I guide you to quiet the noise, regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your natural rhythm and remember who you are beneath expectation and excellence.

As insight stabilizes in the body and relationships reorganize around greater clarity, change becomes sustainable rather than temporary. Together, we’ll transform understanding into practice, restore your vitality, expand your confidence and rekindle joy, one conversation, one relationship and one courageous choice at a time.

My Approach:
Where Science Meets Spirit

Many of the people who come to me are intelligent, capable, and accustomed to carrying significant responsibility. They may be successful in their careers, deeply committed to their relationships, or highly practiced in understanding themselves.

And yet, there can be a gap between insight and experience.

You may understand your patterns and still repeat them. You may know what you want and still struggle to act on it. You may have built a life that looks right on paper while sensing that something essential remains underexpressed.

This is where our work begins.

I bring together psychotherapy, somatic practice, spiritual psychology, systemic work and embodied astrology to explore the layers of experience that shape how you think, feel, relate and make decisions.

We look not only at what is happening, but at what is underneath it: your nervous system, attachment patterns, family system, identity, history, relationships, values, and the symbolic patterns that can offer another lens into your experience.

The work is structured, relational and deeply personal. It is designed to help you move from understanding your inner world to living from it with greater clarity, agency and coherence.

This is not about becoming someone new. It is about becoming more fully able to live as your authentic self.

Renewed confidence and emotional ease through therapy

What Becomes Possible

Renewed confidence and emotional ease through therapy

Since 2013, I’ve supported hundreds of clients — executives, entrepreneurs, couples, clinicians, creatives, and visionaries release burnout, restore confidence, heal relationships, and rediscover joy.

The results ripple outward: clients feel a renewed presence in relationships, creativity that flows again and a life that feels inspired, not just organized.

  • Presence deepens
  • Clarity returns
  • Purpose renews

When you realign within, everything you touch transforms.

This is the transformational journey I hold space for.  From overextended to aligned. From self-doubt to self-trust. From striving to shining.

Working With Me

Whether I’m helping clients integrate a spiritual awakening, process trauma, navigate transitions or rebuild connection with their loved ones, or I’m mentoring other therapists and coaches to weave astrology, constellations and spiritual psychology into their practice, my work always begins with alignment. Alignment between the mind, body, and higher self.

My method combines psychology, somatic psychotherapy, family constellations and astrology to make healing practical, powerful, and a little magical. I bring both the strategist’s structure and the mystic’s insight, bridging intellect and intuition, evidence and energy, science and soul.

Each experience is designed to help you:

Release self-doubt, perfectionism & overthinking

Restore emotional and physical vitality & creative energy

Reconnect with your intuition & life purpose

Cultivate grounded confidence & emotional ease

“Understanding is love’s other name.”

– Thich Nhat Hanh
