Hi there, I am Elizabeth Cohane, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults. I specialize in trauma-informed care and am passionate about helping my clients break through the barriers that keep them feeling stuck, while empowering them to make the changes that will allow them to experience more freedom, from the thoughts and feelings that can hold us back at times.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session will include me learning about what brought you to therapy and learning more about your childhood, as I firmly believe childhood is where things begin, even when we may not realize that, at the time. From there, and with more knowledge about who you are and what is currently taking place, we will develop action steps to reduce the stress and anxiety of handling daily life tasks while managing current situations and emotions. Our work together will be about finding a sense of calm while moving through the feelings / circumstances that brought you to therapy. Before our first session, I offer a free 15-minute consultation, for you to decide if you feel comfortable working together, ask me any questions, and determine if I can be of benefit to you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My primary goal as a provider is to create a safe and welcoming space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. I understand that beginning this journey can be both exciting and daunting, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Every journey is unique. I tailor my approach, to meet individual needs. With sensitivity, compassion and respect; I am committed to meeting you where you are, as we embark on a journey towards mental and emotional freedom for you.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I specialize in working with adolescence, young adults, and adults struggling with (but not limited to) life transitions, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and those experiencing relationship issues. With a wide range of clinical experience, serving a diverse clientele, I provide a safe and judgment-free therapeutic experience. Whether our journey together is for a short time or is more long term, I will meet you where you are, mentally and emotionally; and we will work together to help you meet your personal goals. You can expect to feel validated and supported as we move at a pace that is comfortable to you, while we create a follow-through plan that is feasible, and specific to your needs.
