Melissa Cohen, LCSW, is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and therapist with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families across all ages. She creates a nonjudgmental space that fosters growth and healing. Her expertise encompasses trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions such as college adjustments, divorce, and LGBTQ+ considerations. Utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches—including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness techniques, and Compassion Focused Therapy—Melissa integrates a unique, non-traditional method known as Acceptance and Integration Training (AAIT), founded by Melanie McGhee, LCSW. With AAIT, clients learn to transition from emotionally charged states to a more peaceful, non-dual awareness, effectively alleviating psycho-emotional pain and enabling them to set meaningful goals. Melissa emphasizes the importance of developing a therapeutic relationship, guiding clients toward insight and self-awareness while fostering tailored coping skills for their unique paths. Her mission is to empower every individual to embrace a more genuine, joyful, and fulfilling life.
