Julie Cohen has been my therapist since 2018. I have worked with other therapists before but never have I encountered a person with this level of skill, compassion and commitment to her clients. Julie really listens, and I always feel seen. I credit her with helping me build a new life … one where I finally like myself. My husband and I have worked with Julie in marriage counseling and, with her help, we have created new ways of speaking and listening to one other. Julie has helped me make positive changes with all the people in my life. She is what all therapists need to be. That’s why I refer to her as my ‘miracle worker’.

I feel so enriched, guided, and nurtured. Six months ago I felt lost, confused, and saddened by the betrayals in my marriage. In seeking professional help, I came to realize how much strength I have within me. I wasn’t sure that I could get through the difficulty of a divorce. But since the start of therapy, I have been seeing and feeling so much positive direction in my life. As I sit and write this testimonial, I can really feel the power of it all. Thank you, Julie.

Julie is as soulful as she is skillful. She offers a unique blend of traditional counseling, leavened with a range of perspectives and experiences that treat the whole person. One comes away not only with a clearer understanding of what needs to happen for healing to occur, but having experienced the gift of being seen, understood and appreciated.

Julie Cohen brings profound wisdom, love and skill to her practice, and plies her work with extraordinary adeptness and deliberation. She provides counseling in an atmosphere of unconditional safety and respect. The work can be hard, but it is always relevant to the goal of creating durable internal shifts that lead to change. I am so lucky to have found Julie and recommend her to anyone who truly wants to be more open-hearted, healthy, whole, happy and effective in life.

After working with Julie for more than a year, I have gained a greater understanding of who and why I am. Thanks to her guidance, I have finally accepted that the trauma I experienced early in my life was real, causing me to develop coping mechanisms that have drained my energy and placed limits on interactions with others. Julie’s caring and positivity have shown me that I can gradually remove these constricting limits and realize my full potential in life.

What’s it like to open a door to a place that is filled with complete peace and kindness? To a place where you will not be blamed or judged? Where you can talk freely and someone will really listen to you? And while you are there, you will feel well taken care of? When you walk back out of that door, you will have something you can hold onto for the rest of your life. I came through those doors feeling angry, frustrated, and unhappy. After just a few months of therapy, I can say that I feel so calmer and more peaceful. Julie Cohen has helped me to transform back in to the loving and kind person I once was. She continues to hold the key that will help guide me in my everyday experiences. Julie is teaching me to embrace who I am and to understand the challenges that I face. I am so grateful to her, and for her. She has totally changed my life, and I thank her so much for that.

I realized that I was having difficulty feeling joy in my life, even when things were going well. My wife was deriving significant benefits from talking with Julie so I decided to talk with her. I initially put up many barriers during our sessions. I was joking around and was unable to cooperate appropriately during our sessions. But Julie was very patient with me. Eventually, I was able to again experience joy in my life, and I developed a much better relationship with my wife, whom I have loved deeply for many decades. My love was always there, but our communication improved dramatically. Together, Julie and I identified several other issues in my life that are getting in the way of me enjoying life even more. We have resolved some issues, and are working on others. Julie has had a remarkably positive influence on my life, and I know that she can do the same with other men who seek change.

When my wife and I hit a bump in the road, we were lucky enough to find Julie and her no nonsense approach. Julie speaks from her experience and her heart, when you are looking for guidance and answers, she is really what you need.

Julie Cohen is an incredibly effective, caring, and supportive therapist. My husband and I have tried several marriage counselors over the years, and not one can compare to Julie. She is driven to do everything in her power to help couples develop a more loving way of life together. Julie is extremely knowledgeable, intuitive, wise, and gifted. I originally was looking for a therapist to help us deal with the lingering effects of childhood abuse. Julie understood how to explore our pasts so that we could heal our marriage. we are continuing to work very hard together. Julie has been a gift to us, and I feel very blessed to have found her.

We met Julie about a year and a half ago. My pediatrician recommended her when I told him I was having a tough time with my 3 1/2 year old son. When my husband and I met with her, there was an instant connection. She was so easy to talk to. She listened to what was going on at home and gave suggestions to help us. Each week we would talk about how the week before went and we would tweak the strategies we were using. Over the course of about 6 months, I noticed a tremendous change in not only my son, but in myself and my husband. We stopped our sessions because of time constraints, but I felt like I was in a good place with my son and now have many techniques to help him. I will always be grateful to Julie for helping me get to know my son again.

Run, don’t walk, to these parenting groups and seminars! Julie Cohen presents information in a playful, informative and practical way. She is my inspiration, and I am forever grateful.

Julie has been working with our teenage son for a few years. Our son deals with anxiety/depression and was bullied in middle school/early high school. After going through a few therapists, he was finally able to connect with Julie. She is very warm and patient, immediately putting him at ease. She was able to support him through his initial resistance to opening up and he has just blossomed. Our son has made so much progress with his confidence and self-worth since working with Julie. She is communicative with us as his parents and generous with her time. We would 100% recommend working with Julie.

Prior to meeting Julie, my daughter had seen two other psychotherapists and did not find either one very helpful. My pediatrician recommended Julie and after taking a look at her website, I thought I would give it one more try. My daughter was reluctant and skeptical but was willing to see her one time. As soon as we opened the door to Julie’s office, we both knew this was going to be a different experience.
When you enter Julie’s office, you feel like you’ve entered a warm, safe, and magical environment where healing can take place. It was such a relief to find that Julie was just as warm and approachable as she appeared in her website. She reminded me of one of my best friends.
After that initial meeting, my daughter decided she wanted to give it a try to see Julie. It’s now been almost four months and my daughter has developed a strong connection with Julie and values the weekly sessions with her.
From a mother’s point of view, Julie has been stellar in her support. She takes the time to read my e-mails and responds with well thought out advice filled with much wisdom, understanding, and practical next steps. On several occasions, she has gone beyond the extra mile and called me. Even through the phone, I can sense that is really listening to my concerns, which gives me great comfort. By the end of our calls, I not only feel heard but I also feel empowered to move forward.
Julie is an exceptional therapist simply because she is an incredible person. When you see her, you are receiving the gift of who she is. She has an arsenal of gifts that she brings to her work – her life experiences, her creativity, her energy, and her strong passion and desire for people to live whole and healthy lives. She can be soft and tender one moment but also shell out tough love when necessary.
My daughter is still working through her struggles, but I feel very hopeful for her because I know she has such wonderful support from Julie. Although, Julie is primarily working with my daughter, she is also such a strong support for my husband and me. Julie is an extremely gifted and generous therapist who has been a blessing to my family.

I consider myself to have been so fortunate to have found Julie Cohen. She has helped my adolescent son navigate through some pretty tough life situations. He was initially resistant to any sort of therapy, but felt an instant connection with Julie. She has a wonderful approach with teenagers, and my son quickly came to thoroughly enjoy his sessions with her. She’s compassionate and has a holistic approach to healing in a very warm and comfortable setting for kids. It’s wonderful to know that my son has a safe and trusting outlet with someone like her, and his emotional growth has exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Julie to anyone who is considering therapy for themselves or their family.

Julie is the most amazing therapist. I have been working with her for about 10 years, since I was a kid. She has been providing me with stress management techniques and so many other skills as I have gone through middle school, high school, and now, college. The amount of growth I have seen within myself has been immeasurable. The stress management techniques that I’ve learned from Julie have changed my life and have made me a happier and better person overall. Her whimsical outlook and creativity is so special and unique, and I am forever grateful for our work.

Julie is not only a great therapist, but a great supporter of me as her client. Not only is she warm, kind & supportive; she is super motivating. Julie helped me grow out of my shell and be more comfortable with myself, something I don’t think I would be able to do without her support. I’ve learned many important life lessons and skills, and I could not be grateful enough for all that she has given me.

I started seeing Julie when I was thirteen because my parents had just separated, and she has been in and out of my life ever since. I didn’t know that there would be many other things that had yet to be discovered with me that needed attention. Julie worked closely with me to find the things that I needed to work on most, through a variety of techniques, including artistic creation, writing and just talking about my feelings. What I like most about working with Julie is that she recognizes that it’s hard for most people to talk about what bothers them most. She respects that everyone needs to approach doing so in a different way, but at the same time knows how to address the issues that are most important. Julie’s support was great because even after I left for college, she continued to email me just to say hello and even to remind me of some of the things we had worked on together. She has taught me many good ways to handle problems on my own that in our earlier sessions, I would not have known how to deal with them at all. I’ve learned that it’s okay to be wrong and to make mistakes as long as you learn and try to turn it into an opportunity to better yourself. I don’t think I could have accomplished this without her help. I think Julie is the best because she’s always there to talk to, whether you have a problem and need advice or just want to say hi, and it’s more like having a really helpful and caring friend than just having a therapist.

Where do I even start? From our first session to our most recent, I’ve felt heard, supported and understood in a way I never had before. Julie creates a safe and comfortable environment that allows for me to open up and explore difficult experiences and emotions. Her advice, presence, and compassion has been crucial to my development and healing. I truly wouldn’t be the person I am today without her support.
Julie has a special talent for meeting you right where you are, without judgement, and helps you in achieve greater self-awareness. She gave me tools that I still use in my daily life and helped me in unraveling long-standing patterns. With the help of Julie’s therapy, it didn’t just “help me get through things.” Instead, she helped me gain a better understanding of who I am and the person I want to be in this society.
Julie doesn’t just make our sessions about talking, she incorporates different activities and techniques that are thoughtfully tailored to what I want to work on. She has a way of making therapy feel approachable, engaging, and even fun. Her creative and flexible approach makes each session something that I genuinely look forward to. I whole-heartedly recommend Julie to anyone seeking a meaningful therapeutic experience.
