Elizabeth Cohane
Hi there, I’m Elizabeth! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with teens and adults. I’m passionate about helping people navigate challenges, break through patterns that keep them feeling stuck, and create meaningful change.
Hi there, I am Elizabeth Cohane, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping teens and adults. I understand that beginning therapy can be both exciting and a little daunting in the beginning; as steps to embark on an inner journey are taken.
Through our work together, we’ll explore the thoughts and feelings that may be holding you back, build on your strengths, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts and feelings, we’ll work toward changing your relationship with them so they feel less overwhelming and have less power over how you live your life.
First session
Our first session will include me learning about what brought you to therapy and learning more about your childhood, as I believe childhood is where things begin. 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.
Strengths
I tailor my approach to meet individual needs. 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 therapy can be both exciting and a little scary. 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.
Ideal clients
I specialize in working with individuals struggling with (but not limited to) life transitions, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, healing from past traumas and those experiencing relationship issues. With a wide range of clinical experience, serving diverse populations, 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 identify goals that are feasible, and specific to your needs and move at a pace that is comfortable to you.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Together, we will work on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that may be holding you back, while working on developing practical strategies to change unhelpful behaviors and improve your emotional well-being. My goal is to empower you with the tools to gain greater self-awareness and create lasting change in your life.
Motivational Interviewing
My focus is on helping you tap into your own motivation for change. In a supportive environment we will explore your thoughts and feelings; helping you clarify your goals and work through any ambivalence you may have towards creating change. Our focus will be on empowering you to take the meaningful steps towards achieving the life you want.
Compassion-Focused
As a therapist specializing in Compassion-Focused Therapy, I seek to help you cultivate kindness toward yourself. Together, we will explore ways to break through self-criticism and build a more compassionate mindset. In an effort to create a deeper connection with yourself, we will work together to create a nurturing space where you can grow, heal, and embrace your authentic self.
Strength-Based
I believe in focusing on your unique strengths and resources to navigate challenges and achieve your goals. Together, we will identify and build on what you already do well, aiming to assist you in harnessing your strengths to create meaningful change in your life. We will work together to uncover your potential and celebrate your progress!
