Therefore, I am very familiar with processes parents must follow to secure both community and school-based support for their children.
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. I take an integrative approach to psychotherapy, as I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, relational theory, and other evidence-based approaches, including mindfulness. My neuropsychological evaluations are comprehensive, and emphasize the context of clients' unique histories. Please see my website for more information - drmeredithcohen.com.

I think it is extremely courageous to admit we need help. I believe one of the most important criteria for successful treatment is to have a trusting, open, "therapeutic rapport" with a client. Without trust and a good connection, the therapeutic process cannot begin. With that in mind, I believe the first step is creating an environment safe from judgement and rich in support. My focus is to enable clients to acquire insight, skills, and motivation for emotional, cognitive, and behavioral transitions.I specialize in older adolescent and adult individual therapy as well as family and couples counseling.
