Many people come to therapy after years of putting everyone else's needs before their own, quietly struggling with self-doubt or low self-worth. I focus specifically on helping clients rebuild self-esteem and self-acceptance after trauma or painful life experiences, using CBT and person-centered therapy.
Learning to accept and value yourself takes time, but you don't have to do it alone, support and meaningful change are possible once you're ready.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to talk through where you're starting from.

I am a relational, insight-oriented therapist with 30 years of experience treating a wide variety of individuals. I don’t treat that diagnosis or disorders. I work with people who are dissatisfied and feel challenged by life circumstances. A client recently stated,
“You listened to me and had me think about a new life and letting go of the past. Your questions provided focus and hope and that made me think about wanting a new life for myself”
My clients eventually leave therapy feeling empowered and pursue the goals that they always wanted for themselves.

You are more than your “presenting concern” – my goal is to understand you as a human first and foremost and tailor my techniques to fit your specific needs. Utilizing somatic and cognitive approaches to identify/strengthen mind-body connection, I guide clients in exploring how our emotions become expressed in the body while also increasing awareness of unhelpful thought patterns. Together, we’ll also examine through a multicultural and trauma-informed lens how past experiences influence your current thoughts and behaviors.

I believe that every individual is the expert on their own life, memories, and identities. As every person is unique, I prefer to utilize an integrative approach that caters to a client’s needs. I gravitate towards strengths-based, person-centered, and psychodynamic approaches in conjunction with mindfulness practices. I also pull techniques from internal family systems and gestalt therapy modalities.

You may be functioning on the outside while internally experiencing mood instability, emotional overwhelm, racing thoughts, or periods of low motivation that feel difficult to regulate or predict. When these patterns persist, they often begin to affect relationships, performance, and overall quality of life.

I integrate CBT, DBT, and ACT to help clients identify patterns early, strengthen emotional regulation, and build durable coping strategies.

Everyone deserves a meaningful life, though growth often requires intention and support. I’m David Coen, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and challenges related to self-worth or direction. While I support clients across many backgrounds and professions, I have particular appreciation for those in creative fields—such as writers, designers, and visual artists—who may experience heightened sensitivity, self-criticism, or pressure tied to performance and originality.

Whether we’re eagerly pursuing new goals or weathering unexpected upheaval, change is a natural part of life. It can be exciting and reinvigorating, yet it can also feel disorienting and even isolating. But you don't have to do it alone. My clients tend to be high-functioning, high-achieving people with big goals and dreams, who embrace the idea of Change but can find themselves struggling to put it into action. They may be overwhelmed with anxiety and fear of the unknown, stuck in indecision, frozen by "analysis paralysis" and overthinking, striving with imposter syndrome, or they may simply not know how to get started.

There’s nothing I find more gratifying than helping my clients redefining purpose in their lives. While we are in a constant struggle with the expectations of others, we often lose sight of who we are ourselves. We negotiate, toil, and sacrifice—sometimes without even knowing why. That’s why as a counselor, I specialize in navigating conflict and transitions within careers, relationships, and self-esteem to help clients regain ownership and rediscover meaning in life.
