About Dr. Cohen

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in Massachusetts with over 15 years of experience. I work at Massachusetts General Hospital as a clinical staff psychologist as well as an Instructor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School. At MGH I specialize in working with young adults, addictions, and trauma. In my private practice I work with individuals aged teens to adults with various struggles ranging from life transitions and stress management, to managing addictive behaviors to reducing symptoms associated with trauma. A substance use specialist does not just specialize in substance use, we specialize in various areas of mental health including symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mood regulation, skill building and reducing behavioral compulsions. This means I have experience in working and treating many different struggles and needs.

 

Therapy can be a powerful tool to help you understand your needs, gain insight into your struggles, and help identify positive changes you'd like to make in your life. I provide a safe, caring, nonjudgmental space so that you can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that lead to feeling stuck, or the difficulties of not knowing what to do next. I strive for a collaborative process in which we work together to identify what you want your life to look like, and how best to make that happen.

Whether I’m working with someone healing from trauma, navigating substance use, or managing co-occurring concerns, my goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative environment where you can feel heard, respected, and equipped to make meaningful change. I tailor treatment to the individual, always with an emphasis on compassion, clarity, and practical tools for long-term growth. Therapy only works if it feels right for you. That’s why we work together to identify the goals and tools to help you find a happier and healthier self.
