Dr. Rivka Cohen, PhD

Psychologist
201 Presidential Blvd, Bala Cynwyd, PA
Dr. Cohen (they/them) specializes in treating anxiety, panic, and OCD, including the role of anxiety and stress in gastrointestinal and autoimmune conditions. They are also highly skilled in supporting clients with trauma and C/PTSD, including when trauma responses show up as painful emotions and anger, or self-harm and suicidality. Dr. Cohen works with teens and adults. They also enjoy supporting queer, trans, and neurodivergent clients. Often clients wonder if the pain you have gone through is “big enough.” There is no rule about what “counts” as traumatic. There is evidence that when we take clients’ pain seriously, people find relief. You are not too much, and what you have been through is not too small. Whatever you are carrying, I would be honored to support.
