Professional statement

Dr. Rebecca Cohen is a Licensed Psychologist in New York who works with adults with depression and anxiety disorders.

Dr. Cohen’s treatment approach is insight-oriented, utilizing Psychodynamic therapy and relational framework. Rather than just treating clients’ symptoms, Rebecca takes the time to help them determine what the root cause is. She wants them to see the big picture and solve the problem long-term. While she gives her clients tools to utilize between sessions, she wants to give them strategies and insights that they cannot find online.

Dr. Cohen has over a decade of experience and is passionate about the work she does.


Message to clients

I am a psychologist who believes that the therapeutic process begins with feeling truly seen and understood. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions, as well as those seeking more fulfilling relationships and a deeper sense of self. I see therapy not only as a way to navigate immediate struggles, but also as an opportunity to uncover new perspectives, deepen self-awareness, and move toward lasting growth. With curiosity, compassion, and respect, I aim to help each person make sense of their experiences and move forward in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.

I provide individual psychotherapy for adults seeking greater emotional clarity, relief from distress and more satisfying relationships. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental and confidential environment grounded in trust and respect. Treatment is tailored to each individual with careful attention to your unique experiences, goals and readiness for change.
