Effective and Collaborative Solutions to Your Problems
Empowering You To Create Sustainable Happiness
Are you or a loved one feeling stuck – uncertain about navigating changes in your life, how you see yourself, or how to reconnect with those close to you? When we feel stuck, taking steps forward can feel like a monumental task. We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself. In me, you’ll have a collaborator who will follow your lead and ensure you feel you heard but will be willing to challenge you and continue to motivate you towards achieving your goals. Therapy with me involves weaving together practical skill-building and evidence-based strategies to help you achieve your individualized goals.  I work with individuals experiencing difficult life transitions at work, at home, or at school. I also specialize in the unique issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community and individuals who are neurodiverse (Autism & ADHD). Through individual, parent, or family sessions, we will untangle your thoughts, improve your self-esteem, and take tangible steps towards sustainable change. When you have a better understanding of who you are and what you want, your goals will feel attainable. Everyone has the ability to move past the struggles they’re experiencing, and together we can create solutions and develop skills to build long-term happiness.

Neill S. Cohen, Psy.D.
Mental Health Counselor/Therapist
New York, NY 10065
I am a warm, engaging Clinical Psychologist. My orientation is cognitively-based, so therapy sessions are conversational, pragmatic, and focused primarily on the here-and-now. We work on setting therapeutic goals and collaborate on methods to attain them. In addition to my practice, I am active on the faculty at Weill-Cornell Medical College/New York Presbyterian Hospital. Anxiety is the body’s “hard-wired” false alarm. Defusing these alarms by facing dreaded fears is the central ingredient in overcoming shyness, panic attacks, or phobias. The art of treatment is knowing exactly how to fit the plan to the individual, and what procedures will best bring this about. In established relationships, people come to take each other for granted, which is the root of most other issues. The emphasis is on focusing upon what is or has been wonderful about the relationship, and acting on these strengths. How often are compliments, favors or gifts exchanged? This makes even significant conflict far easier to resolve! Activating oneself, self-care, exercise, taking pleasure and rediscovering a sense of accomplishment in the "little things" is a first and necessary step toward improvement. Surprisingly, progress becomes smoother once the inertia is overcome. Diets don't work. Individualized programs with a minimum of restriction and deprivation are motivating. Healthy foods, eaten frequently, and a positive sense of self go a long way. Moreover, bulimia is treatable, through carefully tailored food choices, mood management, and learning to tolerate a sense of being overwhelmingly full.

Living to the Fullest
As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I believe that psychotherapy is most beneficial when it can address both broad and specific problems and help people find solutions to life's conflicts and stressors. Chronic stress and chronic relational conflicts often become obstacles to leading an emotionally healthy and rewarding existence. Ultimately, I believe the goal of therapy is to enable people to make decisions that will allow them to feel most satisfied, productive and in control of their lives. Likewise, learning to cope with life's everyday stressors, as well as crises can be an important part of psychotherapeutic work. My approach is tailored to individual needs and focuses on building a collaborative dialogue in which to work towards identified therapeutic goals. This includes symptom reduction (anxiety, depression, self-harm), as well asworking with issues pertaining to gender, sexuality, creative blocks, performance anxiety, infertility and parenting issues, among others. Consulting with a psychologist and taking the step forward to begin psychotherapy can be one of the best investments you make in yourself. Therapy is an effective tool to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, and foster personal growth. Research has shown that psychotherapy enhances overall mental health, and self-esteem. Psychotherapy can also be helpful in making informed decisions regarding real life dilemmas. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which to explore the subtle and not-so-subtle psychological and emotional factors that influence all aspects of one's life.

Interactive & Solution-Focused Psychotherapy for Change
Imagine having the tools to explain clearly to your partner how you feel about something he/she said or didn't say… Imagine being able to speak to your children in a way that conveys how much you love them, but also firmly establishes limits and boundaries… Imagine the relief in being able to acknowledge, both to yourself and to another person in a safe, confidential therapeutic setting, feelings of hatred and rage toward someone in your life... Imagine being able to clearly and confidently state, "I want my future in 10 years to look like…." and having a mapped out plan to achieve it... We all have struggles. It takes courage to decide to take ourselves off "auto-pilot" and to confront and work through our problems. It takes courage to decide we are ready to look at ourselves, at our patterns of interacting in relationships and in decision-making. By deciding to look into therapy, you have taken the very difficult first step in this process…. I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Manhattan and in Great Neck, Long Island for 10+ years. I work with my patients using an interactive, supportive, and compassionate approach to help them to better understand and manage issues related to: Anxiety Depression Conflicted Relationships Parenting Struggles Work/Career Conflict Trauma Grief Stress/Anger Management Identity Issues Eating and Body Image We cannot erase negative past experiences. We can, however, work together to help you to better understand and to respond to these experiences in more constructive ways. Using a variety of solution-focused and insight-oriented therapeutic approaches, I will help you to become more aware of your long standing, negative behavioral patterns which are getting in your way of resolving challenges and of establishing and meeting your goals in life. In doing so, you will be better equipped to enact changes that will lead to greater happiness and a sense of well-being. Feel free to call me for a consultation.

Successful Treatment Requires a Good Fit
Between Patient and Clinician
One way describe therapy is that it is simply a conversation centered specifically your life. It is different from talking to family or friends because the historical complications that can accompany talking with family and friends are removed. Of course the image that people carry of therapy may be different from what I just described and may be more specific as well. For some the image of therapy is lying on a couch while their analyst makes occasional comments about their free associations. For others the therapist is very active with lots of comments, advice, and direction. Which is the correct method? Is something else the right way? My belief is that it depends on what is best for each patient because everyone is different and therefore has different needs. It’s true that I have a style and don’t just become some new therapist with each given session. Rather, what I am saying is that I take what each person’s experiences have been and where they come from into major consideration when working with each person. Consider that I don’t talk to my fifteen year old patients exactly the way I speak to my fifty year old patients. Imposing some pre-existing template onto a person neglects who they are. This is ineffective at best and injurious in its insensitivity at worst. As a result, meeting a therapist and talking to see if there is compatibility is what I recommend. This simply helps to establish whether a second conversation is a good idea.

If You're Not Happy with Your Romantic
Situation...You Have the Power to Change It!
I truly believe that dating & relationships are all about you! And that's great news, because it means if you're not happy with your situation...YOU have the power to change it! Start taking action toward the relationship of your dreams! It’s all about your choices, your actions, your thoughts and feelings. Energy is contagious, and like attracts like. What kind of energy are you radiating? As your coach I will help you decide EXACTLY what you want and need in a relationship. That means helping you identify your past patterns (trust me you have them) and creating a set of personal rules to guide you through picking a better partner next time. Most importantly I'll help you feel great about yourself and inspire positive energy. Self-confidence is incredibly attractive! And if you're currently in a relationship, I can help you make it the best it can possibly be! I'll even help you decide if it's the right one for you or not. So many people stay in the wrong relationship because they think it's the best they'll get. Or because they're afraid to admit they're not happy. If that's what's going on with you I'll listen closely and together we'll figure out what's best for you! In addition to my training, I have twenty years of personal dating experience and I'm now blessed to enjoy a completely healthy, incredibly happy true partnership with a wonderful man who's the love of my life. I want to help you find the same romantic bliss!
