About
Larry Cohen, Owner
As a psychotherapist, I helped individuals and couples improve their relationships, overcome depression and other mood disorders, become sober from addictions, and heal from trauma. When my clients got well, their lives would change dramatically. Their life goals would change, their desires would intensify, and most became eager to live fuller, happier, and more satisfying lives. Changing and improving their life, which for many wasn't possible until they got well, immediately became their most important goal. No longer in need of psychotherapy, they needed a life coach.
I now offer life coaching, couples coaching, and professional coaching to all of my clients. Life coaching does not treat mental illness. Life coaching focuses on individual and relational growth, life and professional change, and increasing happiness and personal satisfaction. Individual, couples, and professional coaching is all about taking intelligent action, analyzing results, making adjustments, and taking steps necessary to achieve lasting happiness and success. Life coaching is about living the life you've imagined and being as alive as you can be.

Life Coaching. Different than therapy, life coaching focuses on an individual’s growth and other life improvements they can make. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, as a life coach my task is not the treatment of any mental health disorders the client may be presenting. For example, a life coaching client may identify a goal as expanding his or her social relationships. Another example would be a professional goal. The client may desire a new job, or being promoted at his current job. For further information on life coaching, I invite you to visit my website, https://www.drlarrycohen.com. The most important goal of life coaching is to work with clients on living a full, meaningful, happy life.
Couples Coaching - I am knowledgeable and have experience working with couples, both gay and straight. Dysfunction within couples is frequent, and common complaints include communication problems, difficulty building intimacy, and simply getting along better to live happier lives.
Professional Coaching - I work with professionals who desire greater professional growth or need assistance improving their professional lives.
Mood-Enhancement – I am trained and experienced in cognitive theory and in the methods used by Aaron Beck. His methods have been tested and scientifically studied for many years, making them more than reliable and effective in many cases.
Esteem-Building - I use cognitive and positive psychology, and skills used to treat past trauma to assist clients shift their attitudes and feelings about who they are.
Trauma Recovery - If you are a survivor of childhood trauma, be it physical or emotional, I provide treatment focused on resolving past emotions and the impact past trauma has on your adult life. There are many excellent trauma treatments available that help those affected by it. Often, trauma survivors experience emotional and physical problems throughout their lifetime. It is known that when a child is traumatized, their emotional experience often freezes within them, and if not worked on When a child is traumatized, the emotions they experience during the trauma often freeze up inside of them, and may never fully express within the person’s lifetime. It is believes that the child’s underdeveloped emotional faculties cannot process the feelings brought about by abusive experiences. This unresolved trauma can cause the victim to live a sick, dysfunctional life. Child abuse damages many of the persons systems and can cause terrible dysfunctions, from sexual issues to debilitating fears.
Addiction Recovery – At the age of 25, I began my career as a substance abuse counselor. I have experience treating various addictions, and I have worked with addicts and alcoholics my entire career. I have coached clients who were considered untreatable, and I have coached clients who are concerned about sporadic alcohol or drug use. I fully understand 12-step recovery, and I provide recovery coaching to those in addiction recovery. I also coach individuals with other addictions, such as sexual addiction.
LGBTQ-Specific Coaching – Over my career I have worked with many gay, lesbian, and bi-sexual clients. I have expertise relevant to treating members of the gay community.
Young Adults ages 25 to 35 – I believe the age range of those transitioning from early adulthood to mature adulthood has shifted. I have worked with many men and women in this category, assisting them with their transition into mature adulthood.
