Compassionate, collaborative therapy for individuals, couples, and families navigating life's challenges. Finding the courage to begin is the hardest part — everything after that, we do together.
Schedule a ConsultationHealing begins when you feel safe enough to be honest — with your therapist and with yourself. I'm here to build that safety with you, from day one.✽
— 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.
These are the areas I work with most often. Every person's experience is unique — I tailor my approach to meet you where you are.
Managing overwhelming worry, persistent sadness, and the weight of daily life through evidence-based strategies that build resilience and restore balance.
Strengthening connections with partners, family members, and yourself. Building healthier communication patterns, setting boundaries, and navigating conflict.
Processing past experiences in a safe, supported space. Working through trauma at your own pace using cognitive processing and trauma-focused approaches.
Support for individuals in treatment and recovery — including relapse prevention, coping skills, and rebuilding a life that feels worth living sober.
Navigating major changes — career shifts, loss, parenting, divorce, aging — with grounded coping strategies and clarity about what matters most.
Practical strategies for focus, organization, and self-management. Understanding how your brain works and building systems that support your strengths.
My approach is eclectic, grounded in Adlerian and client-centered therapy, and tailored to the unique needs of each client. My toolbox includes the following therapies:
