Zhanna Cohen

I graduated with a degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2008 from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. At the heart of my experience is working with adults struggling with complex life changes, romantic and family relationships, as well as coping with chronic stress. In my capacity as an In-Home Counselor for many years, I found that I was able to build quick and lasting rapport, and eventually was extremely effective and helpful with my clients due to my natural instinctive ability for deep compassion and empathy, as well as due to my extensive knowledge and experience I have acquired during my 12 years of experience in the field. I am mainly a CBT practitioner, believing that our thoughts can radically change the way we view our circumstances and lives in general. However, I practice and am certified in many other clinical disciplines -- such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Feminist Therapy, and many others. I especially thrive while working with young adults going through career and lifestyle changes and navigating personal relationships. I also work with individuals undergoing serious trauma, in chronic pain, needing parenting advice, struggling with physical and emotional intimacy, low self-esteem, codependency, perfectionism, compassion fatigue, financial stress, and many others. I strongly believe that my life experiences have ultimately helped to shape me into a highly effective and talented mental health counselor, and I would love to share my natural ability with my clients.
