Jamie Cohen

My communication style

My goal is to provide a safe space for you to communicate. I will always communicate with you openly and honestly, and I hope you will do the same. I will offer feedback when it's appropriate. I am open-minded and non-judgmental. I like to be straightforward and clear in my communication, so there is no confusion.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider started while I was young through my personal life experiences. The short version is that I overcame personal losses and challenges in my life that led me to study psychology and social work. Often in the social work profession, we are chosen to be providers through our life experiences.

My goals for you

There are various therapeutic interventions and modalities to help clients reach their goals. If a client wants to improve their self-esteem, I might focus on positive affirmation exercises. I may ask the client to do mindful exercises at home to help them identify their thoughts better or to challenge any negative thoughts they are having.

Our first session

Our first session will be for us to get to know each other, and for you to share what brought you to therapy. It's a good time for you to share about yourself, about the challenges you have been dealing with, and what you hope to gain from therapy sessions. Also, express any concerns you have, and ask me any questions you may have.
