Andres Cohen

I am a therapist who enjoys understanding people beyond their presenting symptoms. I am most interested in developing a thoughtful formulation of why someone is struggling, what their behavior is accomplishing, and how lasting change can occur. I approach therapy with ceaseless curiosity, authenticity, and a willingness to work collaboratively through difficult clinical presentations rather than searching for quick solutions.

I thrive in multidisciplinary teams, continuously refining my clinical thinking through supervision and ongoing study, and creating therapeutic environments where clients feel both challenged and understood. My goal is to combine strong clinical judgment with genuine human connection so that treatment is not only effective, but meaningful.
