“It's important to find a good mental health professional to work with, someone who really "gets" you. I'm fortunate to have found Birch. I don't feel comfortable opening up to too many people, but I feel comfortable with him. I look forward to our sessions. I can feel the shift in myself mentally and spiritually.

Getting to know Birch Cooper
Therapy is about change and growth, an endeavor that takes commitment and courage. Congratulations on taking the first step!
I have personally benefited from therapy, so I understand both the benefits and the courage it takes to utilize introspection in order to grow. As an adolescent, I struggled with being different while attending a suburban high school in Ohio. Through the process of self-acceptance, my first experience with therapy allowed me to live authentically as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. I welcome all sexual and gender identities with unconditional acceptance of you being your authentic self, which is the cornerstone of my work with all clients.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from The City College of New York and a Bachelor’s degree from the CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies. If you're looking for a therapist who can provide you with support as well as practical tools to help you grow into your fullest self, you've come to the right place. Thanks for considering the process of therapy—I look forward to hearing from you!

What I appreciate most about Him is his ability to balance empathy with practical advice. He's helped me develop tools and strategies to manage my anxiety, and his support has been invaluable.

My first session was great. I went into the session nervous but left feeling confident about our rapport. I plan on returning weekly and do recommend an initial session if you are feeling anxious about starting therapy.

Birch Cooper Therapy is very professional and communicative. I used to think therapy was a complete waste of time. But, after becoming a new widow, it helps to talk to so someone other than family and friends. I was hesitant at first, but discovered quickly it’s beneficial. I love the fact that they are very responsive as well and answered my questions. I didn’t have to wait long.
