Meet Your Therapist

Rebecca Cohen, MA, LMHC

I have a passion for the counseling field and have dedicated my career to helping individuals, couples, and families live happier, healthier, and more balanced lives. I have extensive experience working with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, stress management, communication and life skills, healthy relationships, learning disabilities, ADHD, and substance use treatment and recovery.

Additionally, I have facilitated groups in relapse prevention, healthy relationships, anger and emotion management, and problem solving.

I work from an eclectic Adlerian and client-centered approach, incorporating techniques from multiple therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, and ACT.

It takes courage to start this journey, and I believe our therapeutic relationship begins on day one, building trust from the first time you enter my office. Therapy is a collaboration between client and clinician, and I strive to provide a comfortable, open, nonjudgmental, warm, and safe environment.
