Testimonials

I turned my life around.

When I first started seeing Dr. Cohen, I felt completely lost and overwhelmed, and my life was in disarray. I was struggling to cope with my problems and my emotions. I felt chronically sad, anxious, and angry. And I was experiencing extreme fatigue and exhaustion.

Dr. Cohen helped me learn how to take care of myself and take control of my life and my emotions. He helped me to turn my life around and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a caring and knowledgeable therapist.

I built a strong foundation for happiness.

When I first met Dr. Cohen, I was a bit skeptical whether therapy would help me. I had gone through a difficult breakup and was navigating career changes during the pandemic, so my confidence and self-image were low.

With his help, I built a strong foundation for happiness through healthy activities and socializing. I got a better job and I moved to a better neighborhood. Looking back, I never would’ve imagined feeling as good as I do today and I still frequently use his strategies. I’m truly grateful for Dr. Cohen’s helping hand during my time of need.

I felt completely lost. Now, I’m thriving like never before.

When I started seeing Dr. Cohen, I felt completely lost. I was struggling with PTSD and depression. I was angry with myself, and I felt a lot of shame and guilt about being different. My relationship was failing, and I didn’t want to lose my partner.

All I saw was struggles and dead ends.

Now, I’m thriving.

My relationship with my partner improved, and I learned how to grow from my pain rather than regress into self-destructive behaviors to cope.

I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m more optimistic and confident than ever before.

I moved from pain to clarity and life changes.

My first time seeking therapy was with Dr. Cohen. I was surprised at how quickly I felt safe opening up to him and how much it helped to have someone to talk with.

At the start, I sensed that something was wrong in my life but I couldn’t see the underlying reasons and certainly didn’t have a clear path forward. I only knew I was in pain. Soon after we began, though, I was thinking more clearly and together we found the root causes of my unhappiness.

Ultimately, I made some big life changes during my time with Dr. Cohen and I can confidently say that: 1. They have tremendously improved my life and 2. Dr. Cohen was instrumental in helping me make those changes.

Taming anxiety and self-criticism

I worked with Dr. Cohen to address long-standing challenges of anxiety and harsh self-criticism that were making it difficult for me to fully adjust to a new life and work in New York. His compassionate approach helped me reframe these challenges in a more manageable way, and he imparted new techniques to reduce the effects of anxiety when they did crop up.

Since working with Dr. Cohen I’ve learned how to be more forgiving of myself and I’m now much better-equipped to bring my full self to my work and my relationships. And I’m much happier as a result.
