LCSW, 10 years of experience
Hi, I’m Netta Cohen, LCSW. I’m a psychotherapist with over a decade of experience working with adults in both Tel Aviv and the Atlanta area. I specialize in supporting clients through life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma. My approach is relational and collaborative, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and IFS to support each person’s unique journey toward greater self-understanding, healing, and emotional freedom. I offer both in-person and online sessions to meet you wherever you are.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to share what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to understand your background, current challenges, and goals, and we’ll discuss how I work and what you can expect from the process. This session is also a chance for you to ask any questions you have about therapy or about working with me.
Having lived in both Israel and the United States, I deeply understand the complexities and emotional challenges that come with immigration and major life transitions. This personal experience allows me to empathize with clients navigating the feelings of loss, identity shifts, and cultural adjustments that often accompany such changes.
My ideal clients are thoughtful, curious individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from themselves or others. Many are navigating major life transitions, or working through past experiences that continue to affect them in the present. Some come with specific goals, while others simply have a sense that something needs to shift.
I help clients explore how their past and present experiences shape their thoughts, emotions, and relational patterns. Through this process, they develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I also support clients in connecting more fully with their emotions, allowing those feelings to guide them toward a life that feels more meaningful and personally satisfying. In our work together, I offer a reflective space that fosters new ways of relating—to both oneself and others.
When clients have specific goals they want to accomplish—such as overcoming anxiety—I use CBT tools to help challenge unhelpful beliefs, develop healthier coping strategies, and build skills for managing what’s bothering them. CBT offers a more structured approach, supporting clients as they move toward the changes they wish to make in order to live more freely and with greater ease.
When clients feel stuck or conflicted, I often offer IFS to help them explore the different parts of themselves with curiosity and compassion. This approach supports clients in leading their lives with greater internal harmony, clarity, and emotional relief.
