Therapy can be the catalyst for transforming our pain from the past or present into courage, strength, and personal growth. There are times when indecision can feel overwhelming, we question our abilities or choices, or feel stuck, stagnant, or struggle to develop and execute a plan to adjust and grow. I believe that every human experience deserves validation and space for healing when needed, no matter how “small” or “insignificant” one might think it is. In addition to ongoing individual psychotherapy, I offer a short term, “Emotional Preparedness” program for the college bound individual for survival skills for this transition.

Your relationship used to be fantastic. You and your partner felt connected; had fun together; and could talk about anything. More recently, things haven’t been going as well, and you don’t want them to get worse. You still love each other, but you’re having more disagreements. Perhaps the busyness of life has left you with less quality time together and feeling a little lonely or unappreciated. You want to reconnect, but miscommunication keeps getting in the way. Alternatively, your relationship is doing well, and you’d like a “tune-up” to keep it that way, so it doesn’t go bad like other relationships you see.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and positive change. It can be scary to ask for help, but with a therapist who is the right fit, real improvements can be achieved. I work from a trauma-informed approach, and believe that looking at both our past and our present circumstances can provide a lot of insight into times we're feeling stuck. Utilizing warmth, empathy, humor, and tangible practices to affect change, I look forward to each session with each client to assist them on their journey to self-discovery.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.

Offering a compassionate, safe place in which you can explore current life challenges that may be difficult to face alone. Relationship conflicts, separations, loss, job changes, eating problems and other addictions, medical illness, mid-life and other transitions often require working in partnership with someone who can help you find your own inner resources to move forward in your life. I have thirty-six years of experience as a medical practitioner working with diverse populations, including college students, young, middle age and older adults. I bring that experience to my psychotherapy work, recognizing the whole person, mind, body and spirit.

Adolescents rock! Adolescence sucks... As the adult emerges, the need to separate and individuate is primal and the ensuing metamorphosis affects all important relationships. Adapting to the rights and responsibilities of the emerging adult can be confusing and frustrating and make for multitudes of conflicts. As a therapist, I am pragmatic and practical, look for ways to support the process of growing up, teach necessary skills to increase interpersonal effectiveness and mindful self-care. My goal is to help individuals understand their needs and as to achieve a sense of fulfillment and independence necessary to satisfying living.

Conflict in relationships is normal. But prolonged conflict can break even the most successful relationships. If you or your partner perceives, feels and experiences this conflict in a harmful manner the two of you need to see a "Relationship Expert" who can help you master "Healthy Interactions". Couple therapy provides a safe, mediated environment to not only explore your emotions and perceptions but implement "Effective Tools" to create permanent change. I am a big believer in homework and accountability. Your time with me will not be wasted and I expect my clients to work hard.

Our bodies are made to move. Research shows that our bodies and our minds respond to being in Nature. What better way to heal and regulate our nervous systems than by walking in Nature? Join me in nature-based therapy where we " walk and talk" or "sit and talk" together in Nature. We walk or sit together in the open meadows or wooded trails that are near the rivers and ponds of the Concord/Acton area. Using mindfulness and guided imagery practices while embraced by Nature, I help my clients find wholeness.

My practice is divided between therapy and neuropsychological evaluations. I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relational theory, family systems therapy, and other researched-based techniques, including mindfulness. My neuropsychological evaluations are comprehensive, and I provide detailed and relevant recommendations that target clients' daily life activities and settings (school, workplace, home, community). I aim to emphasize strengths and affirm all identities, including neurodiversity. Please see my website for more information-drmeredithcohen.com.
