Getting to know Dr. Kathy Cosgrove

Starting therapy takes strength and courage, as it is hard to acknowledge one's own struggles and commit to addressing them. Often, what leads a person to therapy is an individual crisis, such as the loss of a relationship, a traumatic event or loss, or problems created by symptoms or symptom use. I believe the therapy process has two steps (which can occur simultaneously). The first step is to manage the current crisis by developing coping strategies, processing feelings, and addressing ways of thinking that get in the way of being healthy. As the crisis or symptoms become manageable, it is then necessary to engage in self-exploration of one's life history and patterns of being in the world to ensure long-standing change and self-awareness. Throughout this process, I utilize the therapy relationship not only to create safety and support but also to mirror alternative ways of being interpersonally. As a therapist, I work hard to be transparent in my reactions and thought processes while maintaining the boundaries necessary to keep therapy a safe and supportive environment. I like to be a real and active therapist, and I never underestimate the value of humor. Throughout therapy, I think it is important to evaluate not only how the work is going but also how the relationship feels between the client and me. I believe that the connection the client and I have is the most important factor in moving forward and making meaningful change. I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University, and I completed my undergraduate studies at the College of the Holy Cross. Additionally, I studied Psychology at Columbia University, which has informed my approach to therapy and understanding of human behavior.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am an active therapist. I like to be real during the session, giving feedback, using humor, and sharing my ideas to help you move forward towards your goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We spend the first 2-3 sessions getting to know one another and understanding both what the problems and goals are. We then work to come up with a treatment plan that would include meeting weekly and consistently evaluating how our work is going.
