Season 2, Episode 7

​Today’s Guest:
Jamie Kohanyi is a licensed psychotherapist practicing in the state of California. She is a graduate of Pacifica Graduate Institute’s Counseling Psychology program, with an emphasis in Depth Psychotherapy. Her interest lies in the interplay between the unconscious, the body, and creativity, which began with her experience as a multi-award-winning singer-songwriter and graduate of Berklee College of Music. Singing was Jamie's primary therapeutic modality until she moved from New York City to California in her 20s to initiate studies at The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and Sky Mountain Institute for the Expressive Arts. The following 20 years of education and experience lead to her current expertise in women with eating disorders, perinatal mental health, dreamwork, the expressive arts, and psychedelic psychotherapy. Jamie is currently pursuing a certificate in Jungian Psychology from the CG Jung Institute of Los Angeles. She is married to David Kohanyi, also a psychotherapist, and is a mother of three.

SHOW TOPICS
  • The relationship between creativity and transformation, and how psychotherapists can serve as ministers to aid in that transformation
  • Bringing mindfulness and beauty into our daily routines
  • The importance of leaving time for imagination and not feeling the societal pressure to “produce, produce, produce” as a creative

Nattan Hollander: How to Honor the Connection Between Art and Spirituality

Season 2, Episode 2

Today's Guest: Nattan Hollander, LMFT, was an artist first and became a psychotherapist along the way. He made art as a child in Israel, where he grew up, and later moved to the US to train in art and get his fine arts degree at CalArts in California. He was living in a Zen Center during that time, where he spent many hours meditating and learned to cook great soups for Zen retreats with a woman who soon became his wife. He earned his MA at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a school that emphasizes care of the soul as being central to mental health. This aligned with his own sensibilities as an artist. For Nattan, art and spirituality are inseparable. When he works with artists as a therapist, he treats their creative life as sacred.

SHOW TOPICS
  • Wrestling with creativity and making within an institutional space
  • Reconnecting with creation through writing an experiential thesis centered around meditation and imagination
  • The importance of treating a client’s creative life as sacred and helping them find value in creation in a society that doesn’t always lift it up
  • How lacking opportunity for expression and creativity can be a matter of life and death
