Supporting you through life's challenges—one session at a time.

How it works.

1

Clarify your needs.

Think about what you're hoping to gain from therapy and what kind of support feels right for you. Whether you're navigating specific challenges or just looking for a space to process, it’s important to find a therapist who aligns with your needs.

2

Reach out.

If my approach resonates with you, send me an email at Cherliz@CherlizCohen.com. I’m happy to answer any questions and help you determine if we’re a good fit.

3

Get started.

If it feels right, we’ll schedule a consultation or intake session to explore your goals and begin our work together.

“Justice and care are not opposites. They are different ways of approaching the same thing, which is the moral life.”

— Dr. Carol Gilligan
