Getting to know Abby Cochran
From my personal experiences and background in art and somatic therapies, along with my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from New York University, I’ve come to learn how deeply our bodies, creativity, and emotions are tied together in the healing journey. While we may not always “get over” the hard things, we can find our way through them with curiosity, a little humor, and authentic connection.
I can help you shine a light on parts of yourself that need more gentle tending and find what you really need—whether that’s permission to make mistakes, process past trauma, or learn how to better care for yourself.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You might be reading this because you no longer want to be caught in the trap of old patterns that no longer serve you. Whether that’s seeking approval from others or distracting yourself with mindless scrolling to avoid what's bothering you, we sometimes arrive at a moment when hiding isn’t worth it anymore. Perhaps you have reached your capacity, exhausted from pretending everything is fine while feeling like something’s missing inside. Whether it’s a moment of transition or facing something from your past—you don’t have to go through it alone
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I take an embodied, experiential approach to therapy, drawing from AEDP principles to create a safe, warm, and emotionally attuned environment for healing. I believe that healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it’s built through deep, authentic connection. I work with clients to help them tap into their emotional and physical experiences, so they can process and transform. I like to focus on being present with your emotions and your body in the moment. I trust that feelings, even difficult ones, carry wisdom, and I guide clients in exploring and understanding them. My background in art and somatic therapies allows me to bring creative, non-verbal ways of accessing and processing emotions into the work. Whether it's through body awareness, movement, or creative expression, I encourage clients to explore what they might not be able to access through words alone. These non-verbal channels are often where deeper healing happens — often without even realizing it at first.

Abby provided very professional and personal care. Her passion for her patients really showed through and I was able to see a real/actionable path through treatment. I have struggled finding the right care in the past but Abby truly changed my perspective. She knew exactly how to meet my sensibilities and find a treatment that worked for me. I cannot recommend her enough.

Abby is a gifted therapist. She's extremely grounded and validating. After years of doing more traditional talk therapy, Abby helped me transform some painful traumatic experiences that I hadn't been able to address elsewhere. We did EMDR together, and afterwards, I noticed a major reduction in my day-to-day anxiety. I am forever grateful for her support.

It was such a breath of fresh air meeting with Abby. She’s incredibly comforting and warm, in a way I haven’t experienced before. Talking with her feels productive and relaxing. I would definitely recommend.

I began working with Abby recently and couldn’t be happier with the breakthroughs she’s already brought into my life… I’ve dealt with chronic pain for some time and was recommended by a friend. My pain is not gone but *finally* manageable as Abby helps guide me to connect my mind and body… where previously I’d felt despair at my lack of control I’m gaining some newfound hope :) I have really enjoyed working with her and have recommended Abby to several friends!

Abby provided me with warm, judgement free support when I was really struggling with my mental health. I recommend her as a practitioner who is both firmly in your corner and will offer direct insights when you need to hear them.

Speaking with Abby about my issues felt very easy and comfortable. Her approach to mental health is very intuitive and clearly comes from a place of experience and true care.

Abby is kind, deeply knowledgeable, and a great listener.
I felt comfortable opening up to her immediately (which is unusual for me) and made progress unpacking my trauma much quicker than I would have expected.
I have been searching for the right therapist for a while and now I found them! Very grateful.
