Hi, I’m Rachel Cohen. I’m so glad you’re here. I know how overwhelming it can feel to start therapy—or to start again. My goal is to make that first step feel a little easier. I offer a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and work toward helping you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in your life. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and draw from a variety of approaches, including EMDR, mindfulness, and talk therapy. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, identity questions, or past experiences that still feel present, we’ll tailor our work to your unique needs and goals. I’m especially passionate about supporting women navigating the pressures of work, family, culture, and those within the LGBTQ+ community seeking a space where they feel fully seen and understood. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. We’ll move at your pace and build a relationship based on trust, curiosity, and a deep belief in your resilience. I’m currently offering both in-person and virtual sessions and am accepting new clients. I’d love to hear from you when you’re ready.
