Dr. Cohen’s Treatment Philosophy
I have always approached patient care with the idea of recognizing the complex biological, psychological and situational impact of each person’s presentation. Psychiatric symptoms are the most complicated of any medical specialty, because they potentially impact who you are and how you feel about yourself.
My goal with patients is to help you understand your psychiatric symptoms and conflicts, and to work collaboratively with you to improve your overall health and well-being. In over a decade of private clinical practice, I have worked with patients in both acute crisis situations as well as with more chronic, debilitating symptoms or difficulties. For some patients, seeking out care can be upsetting or difficult. My goal is to establish a safe and nurturing environment so we can do the work together, establish clear goals for your treatment plan and take proper care of your needs.
As a psychopharmacologist I will take a detailed history of your symptoms and select the most evidence-based, effective medication(s) to achieve symptom remission.
Additionally, in our work together, I also strive to assist you with gaining more personal insight, provide support for your discomfort and help you develop new strategies for coping with your challenges. I will gladly work with your other treating medical doctors or therapists to provide the most thorough treatment possible.
