Getting to know Prestasia Cohen

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and understood. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, postpartum transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and major life changes. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy to help clients gain insight, strengthen relationships, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult season, or simply looking to better understand yourself, my goal is to help you build resilience, improve communication, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our work together is a partnership. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can speak openly and honestly without fear of criticism. I believe every client brings strengths into therapy, and together we'll build on those strengths while working through the challenges that brought you here. I balance listening with active guidance. You'll have space to process your experiences while also leaving sessions with practical strategies, new perspectives, and meaningful goals to work toward between appointments. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to what works best for you rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know one another. I'll ask about what brings you to therapy, your personal history, your current concerns, and what you hope to achieve through counseling. This helps us create a treatment plan that reflects your goals and priorities. As therapy progresses, we'll identify patterns that may be contributing to your challenges, develop practical coping skills, strengthen communication and relationships when appropriate, and celebrate progress along the way. I regularly check in to ensure our work continues to align with your needs and adjust our approach as your goals evolve. Every session is designed to provide both support and practical tools that help you create meaningful, lasting change in your daily life.
