Welcome to Kitchen Therapy with Jaree
Where Food Meets Healing
Kitchen Therapy with Jaree is more than a cooking experience-it's a journey of wellness, connection, and transformation. Rooted in the belief that the kitchen is a sacred space for healing, this unique experience blends mental health wisdom, culinary creativity, and soul-nourishing conversations. Have you ever noticed what you eat impacts how you feel or how you feel influences how you eat? This is the space to explore!
Whether it's a mindful cooking class, a community workshop, or an intimate pop-up experience, Kitchen Therapy is where you come to reconnect-with yourself, your story, and your plate.
Meet Jaree
I'm Jaree Cottman, LCSW-C-therapist, food lover, and founder of Afya Counseling & Wellness Services. Born and raised in Baltimore, I grew up witnessing the power of food-not just as sustenance, but as a source of comfort, culture, and healing.
After years of working in mental health and leading community wellness programs, I created Kitchen Therapy to bring people back to the table-mindfully and joyfully. Here, cooking becomes a tool for transformation, and the kitchen becomes a classroom for the soul.
