Getting to know Dr. Alexis Cohen

“To be loved is a wonderful thing, but to be understood is profound.” Alexis believes this captures what most people seek and what often leads them to therapy. Whatever our struggles may be, we long for connection, understanding, and a safe place to turn. Building this kind of comfortable, warm, and supportive relationship is central to her approach and, she believes, essential to healing. Alexis is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with more than a decade and a half of clinical experience, providing individual and group psychotherapies and psychological testing to both children and adults. Though she’s run the spectrum of working with mental health issues, her focus is primarily on working with adults with mood and anxiety disorders and relational/interpersonal difficulties. Alexis has been trained in a wide range of therapeutic methods, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, analytic traditions, dialectical-behavioral therapy, bodywork, dream work, and structured, manualized treatments. Still, she views her clients as the experts on their own lives. Rather than fitting people into a single method, she tailors her approach to each individual, creating a unique treatment plan that reflects their needs and strengths. Alexis’s guiding philosophy is to celebrate and respect each person’s differences while also remembering, as she often quotes, that “we’re all more human than otherwise.
