About
Dr.
Samuel Cohen
Samuel Cohen, LSW, is a licensed social worker who believes that therapy should be as unique as the person receiving it. His approach is grounded in empathy, adaptability, and collaboration—creating space for open dialogue and personal growth. Whether clients seek meaningful change, guidance through major life transitions, or simply a space to process their experiences, Samuel provides individualized, identity-affirming care that promotes self-understanding and emotional resilience.
With experience working across diverse populations, Samuel prioritizes inclusivity and recognizes how social and systemic factors impact mental health. He integrates this awareness into every session, helping clients explore the intersection of their thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences.
Samuel views therapy as a dynamic partnership rather than a one-sided conversation. He encourages reflection, challenges unhelpful beliefs, and guides clients in understanding how patterns from the past shape current behaviors. His goal is to empower each individual to discover their strengths, improve relationships, and live more authentically.
