Michael Aanavi

Michael Aanavi is a dedicated therapist who draws on a diverse range of psychological practices, including Jungian, existential, and relational psychologies, alongside teachings from the world's great spiritual paths, particularly the Buddhist and Daoist traditions. His work transcends traditional cognitive and insight-driven methods; it embodies an energetic practice that embraces dreams, intuition, meditation, and the imaginal process, recognizing that discovering one's unique purpose is vital for healing both psyche and body. As a licensed acupuncturist, he seamlessly integrates acupuncture and elements of Chinese medicine into his psychotherapy, creating a holistic approach. Michael's expertise encompasses a wide array of emotional, physical, spiritual, and mind-body issues, including anxiety, depression, personal and intergenerational trauma, chronic pain, sleep disturbances, and energy depletion. He is particularly attuned to individuals grappling with identity, direction, and life path, offering support to those who feel stuck, unwell, or unfulfilled, as well as to those wishing to deepen their spirituality and connection to their sense of purpose.
