Getting to know Dr. Michelle Cohen
As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Bachelor’s degree from Yeshiva University, a Master’s in Nursing, a Doctor of Nursing Practice, and a Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Columbia University, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate complex mental health challenges. My clinical experience spans diverse settings, including emergency psychiatric care, perinatal therapy, and outpatient treatment for a wide range of conditions such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and perinatal mood disorders. With a strong foundation in both therapy and medication management, I integrate evidence-based approaches to deliver personalized care tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. My expertise includes treating ADHD, where I’ve worked extensively to help patients who’ve felt "impossible to treat" discover sustainable solutions that improve their quality of life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our sessions, the focus is always on you—your experiences, strengths, and aspirations. I prioritize creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, where you remain in control of your journey. I aim to demystify the therapeutic process, blending practical strategies like CBT with existential and spiritual elements when they resonate with your values. For those managing life transitions, perinatal challenges, or religious considerations, we can incorporate these elements into your care. Together, we’ll explore what works best for you, blending therapy with medication if necessary, always aligning treatment with your preferences and lifestyle.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
From our first session, we’ll work together to define clear, achievable goals. Our discussions will feel open and natural, allowing you to share freely without judgment. Whether you’re seeking to manage ADHD symptoms, overcome depressive patterns, or navigate perinatal challenges, each session will build on your progress. If medication is part of your care, I’ll guide you through options thoughtfully and transparently. My goal is to empower you with tools and insights that help you create meaningful and lasting change. You bring the expertise of your life; I bring the clinical knowledge, and together, we’ll create a plan that works for you.
I am especially attuned to working with young adults, college students, individuals from religious backgrounds, and those navigating perinatal mental health challenges. Wherever you are in your mental health journey, know that help is here, and change is possible.
