Professional statement

June Rose Cohen was drawn to this work after a history of activism and advocacy for queer and trans liberation. June believes that there are undeniable systems of power and oppression that create and sell narratives impacting people on a daily basis, shaping their sense of self. As a transfemme therapist, she deeply understands the importance of living authentically and being your true self. Together, you and June can begin to determine how you can tell your story in a way that feels the most authentic to you, your experiences, and your identities.

June's practice is person-centered and relational at its core, and utilizing a decolonial framework, she works with clients to create new narratives that feel more authentic and true to who they want to be. June specializes in working with OCD and utilizes ERP and ACT to help clients overcome obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior. Additionally, she draws on ideas from narrative therapy, feminist/queer theory, and DBT in order to help you craft your best, most authentic life. Along with OCD, they have experience working with LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, trauma, neurodiversity, and chronic pain and illness.

June believes that therapy is most effective when it is collaborative and tailored to each person’s specific needs. She works with clients at their own pace and within their own boundaries in order to determine the client's needs and how therapy can be the most useful and effective.


Message to clients

I specialize in working with concerns surrounding OCD, trauma, and identity. In this work, I mainly utilize techniques from ACT, ERP, and DBT in order to help you confront unwanted and intrusive obsessive thoughts, as well as the compulsive behaviors you may be engaging in. Through confronting these obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, we can work together to help you create and re-establish a sense of control and autonomy over your life in order to live your life on your terms.

In early sessions, we will begin to unpack the narrative of your life, in order to best reframe it in ways that feel authentic to you. In so doing, we will begin to both understand who you are today and determine who it is you want to be. At your pace and within your boundaries, we will work together to craft a sense of self that feels authentic, and will rebuild a sense of control over your life. Together, we will determine how therapy can be the most effective and useful for you in order to help you meet your goals.

Starting therapy is a huge first step and I look forward to working with you!
