“I was extremely skeptical about starting therapy as I had not had good experiences with previous therapists. Leslie was immediately different. She was personable and reasonable and truly LISTENED to me without judgement. We had an intro call before starting, so she could determine if she was the right person to help me. She made me feel safe and created an environment where I could be honest and trust her. With Dr. Cohen’s guidance and help, I was able to truly work on root causes of my challenges. And didn’t even know it would be possible for me to get here in life. I couldn’t be more grateful for her. ”

She’s is my first therapist and I cannot believe how lucky I got. Truthfully I am very grateful to her, having someone approach mental health from a highly educated, experienced and kind but fair way was exactly what I needed. Mental health feels complicated and can sometimes feel too complicated to grasp but she has truly helped me from what I felt has been the lowest of lows and rebuild myself and life to be better and get a better grasp on my mental health in a meaningful way. She is no miracle worker but if you are looking to better your life, understand yourself or just think out loud with someone who can offer valuable insight, then I would highly recommend

I have been seeing Doc for several years now. During appointments, she always starts by asking how my day or week is going. Doc is intuitive and will pick up right away when there is an event that has caused a change in my mood. She gently guides me to process any adverse events and walks through scenarios for resolution. There has never been judgment in scenarios where I reacted poorly. Currently, we are working through my reliance on alcohol and changes in employment history. Doc's guidance led me to choose my own path and has helped me accept that my current path is different than the one I envisioned. She has never judged me for needing to cancel or reschedule an appointment last minute and has been wiling to make adjustments to her schedule if I needed a non-routine appointment. Her non-judgmental attitude to atypical lifestyles has made her someone I go to in times of struggle, no matter how small, and I look forward to continuing as a client for many years to come!

I’ve been working with my Leslie R. Cohen for over six years now, and I truly don’t have the words to fully express how grateful I am for her presence in my life. Through the ups and downs, she has patiently, gently, and honestly guided me in ways that have completely changed how I see the world and myself.
Because of her, I’ve learned how the little things in life—things I used to overlook—can be some of the most beautiful and grounding. She’s helped me realize that I’m not stuck, that growth is always possible, and that my internal world holds so much beauty and strength. Her support has opened my eyes to the wonder and joy that still exists even in the harder seasons of life.
She is kind, non-judgmental, deeply compassionate, and truly the most honest, grounding person I know. I trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have someone so genuine walk with me on this journey. She’s helped me believe in myself, in healing, and in the beauty of simply being alive.
