Getting to know Samuel Cohen

When it comes to supporting you and providing care, your experience must be adaptable, empathetic, and individualized. Whether you are seeking dramatic change, collaboration on a major life decision, or simply need someone to discuss the trials and tribulations of life, therapy should reflect your uniqueness through its approach. I have experience working with a diverse array of clients and hold a strong belief that care should promote equity, unconditional positive regard, and identity-affirming support. My background includes helping clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, gender-affirming care, pro-LGBTQIA+ support, and general life stressors in young adults and adults ages 18-35. I am also a firm believer in the power of remote therapy—if you are going to be vulnerable, you should at least be able to choose where you are vulnerable. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, which has equipped me with the skills to provide compassionate and effective care tailored to your needs.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe that care should be individualized and adaptive. Open communication is crucial as it helps me adapt to what your needs are and makes for better collaboration on care. I am a firm believer that therapy must also address what is happening in society, and strongly believe in recognizing how systemic issues may influence life’s struggles. My therapy is inclusive and an LGBTQIA+ safe space.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Therapy is a dialogue, I will not just be a bystander who listens, I ask you to challenge your negative beliefs and reflect on statements that you may not even realize you are saying. We will work together to understand how your thoughts, feelings, and past affect each other and influence your behaviors and beliefs. Typically I achieve this through motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and a systems-focused outlook.
