Paul Cohen, LCSW

I honor each individual's unique characteristics and strengths. In that spirit, I tailor my methods to the unique needs of the client - utilizing cognitive behavior therapy, psychodynamic, and humanistic modes. I am warm, encouraging and a strong motivator. My extensive background as a psychiatric social worker helps me to advocate for my clients and has provided me with special skills and life experiences that I bring to my psychotherapy practice.

In my practice I see individuals and families - including senior citizens - dealing with a large spectrum of emotional issues. I have special interests in bereavement therapy, trauma, life transitions, working with the elderly, and adoptioninfertility counseling. I offer evening, daytime and Sunday hours. When possible, I make house calls to elderly or infirm clients in my local area. My office in Briarwood, Queens is near the Kew Gardens, Forest Hills, Hillcrest & Kew Gardens Hills areas. Organizational memberships include: Give an Hour, a network of therapists providing free counseling services to returning troops and their families; National Association of Social Workers I am conversant in both Hebrew and Yiddish as supplementary languages. Please call or email me with any questions. Either I or my assistant will get back to you as soon as possible.
