Do things feel out of control? Maybe you're searching for someone to help support your child's mental health. Maybe the tension between you and your partner erupts into conflict too often. Maybe you don't feel like yourself anymore..... whatever the situation, you decided to reach out for some support. That's an amazing first step. I understand - opening up to a stranger can be terrifying! I try my best to make it less so. I’m a relational therapist - this means that who I am is part of the work I do. I come to this work with my own insecurities and vulnerabilities.

** AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS** It can be so overwhelming to look for a therapist. So many options and decisions when you simply want to be helped during a difficult time in your life. You may be feeling stressed, sad, angry or just not yourself. Simply put, therapy is a unique and unusual experience; at times it can feel uncomfortable talking to a person you have just met. I encourage you to email me or call for a phone consultation. There is never any obligation following the phone call. It may be helpful to visit my website.

I can list all my accomplishments from the past 30 years, but that will not help you get to know my style or my beliefs. What I can tell you in this brief introduction is that I love working with people. I strive to empathize, be respectful and non-judgemental. We all have worries, stresses, and things we try to deal with every single day. We all need someone who listens and understands. Sometimes you can get that from a family member or friend. However, even if you have an amazing support system, talking to someone who has professional expertise and an outside perspective can benefit everyone.

I bring warmth and compassion to the counseling relationship with adolescent, young adult, and adult clients. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Restoration Therapy (Hargrave), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are the most prominent influences on my eclectic approach, and because of my experience as a pastor and chaplain, I may be particularly helpful to clients looking to explore the integration of their faith and mental health. I am equally committed to coming alongside clients for whom faith is not a priority or who may come from a different background.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents with anxiety, identity development, school related challenges and parents in need of coaching and support.

I have expertise in navigating the public school system in the areas of Special Education and 504.

I focus on working with young male clients (ages 9-25), using a blend of coaching and therapy, focusing on emotional intelligence, leadership skills, confidence, healthy relationships, academic achievement, and athletic performance. The problems I most often see clients experiencing are low self-esteem/confidence, anger management, high stress levels, anxiety, depression (including bipolar), and video game addiction.

With an emphasis on strengths, I collaborate with my clients to identify and address their needs. My practice is divided between therapy and neuropsychological evaluations.

My neuropsychological evaluations are comprehensive, and emphasize the context of clients' unique histories. Please see my website for more information - drmeredithcohen.com.

**Unfortunately I am currently at capacity and am unable to accept new client referrals.** Each of us come to junctures in our lives that make us question our ability or our will to push forward. Often we struggle to find others we feel can help us along our way, who we trust to hold and respect our pain.
