Allison Cohan

Allison Cohan’s therapeutic approach creates a nurturing environment where clients are given the emotional space to explore their situations without labeling themselves as the problem. This methodology fosters a key exploratory distance between the self and feelings of guilt or shame, allowing for curiosity to flourish instead of judgment. She is dedicated to facilitating experiences that are both empowering and illuminating. This is particularly beneficial for those seeking resources as members of couples or families where fear of blame looms large. The parents of her adolescent and young adult clients appreciate her ability to see their loved ones as unique individuals, avoiding over-reliance on diagnostics or labels. Specialized training in the area of eating disorders has made Allison particularly adept at addressing these complex issues, enabling clients to feel profoundly understood in ways that often go unrecognized. If desired, she offers a wide range of additional tools including mindfulness training, meditation, creative writing, and guided journaling. Families or individuals grappling with feelings and behaviors that create internal or relational friction will find it a privilege to work with Allison. She is eager to establish collaborative relationships and support clients in achieving their unique goals.
