JENNA M. COHAN
LICENSED PSYCHOTHERAPIST IN NYC
I am a writer and trauma informed psychotherapist based in New York City . Working adult & teen patients since 2020, I am a highly trained New York State Licensed Psychotherapist, Certified Gestalt Therapist and Certified Ecotherapist. I work with teens from all backgrounds and adults navigating adoption, foster care experiences, trauma, life transitions and grief.
My approach blends depth-oriented and experiential therapies—drawing from Gestalt, Psychoanalysis, Ecotherapy, somatic practices, and Mindfulness—to help clients feel grounded, connected, and more fully themselves. I offer both individual and group therapy, virtually and in person.
I see my role as therapist as being your guide in the sacred & simple thing that is so very hard to do: being with ourselves in the present moment. I help individuals and groups unearth the tools they have had all along in an engaging and collaborative way.

Individual Therapy Sessions
Individual Psychotherapy sessions are offered virtually and occur 1-2x weekly for 45 minutes. My practice model does not allow for biweekly sessions. I work with adults who are living with the complex impacts of trauma, particularly those with histories of adoption or foster care. I also work with adults who are navigating life transitions and grief.

FAQs
-
I work with teens finding their voice and adults carrying the layered stories of adoption & foster care, trauma, and transformation. My work focuses on the wisdom of the body, the healing power of nature, and the complexity of the human psyche. Drawing from Gestalt, Psychoanalysis, Ecotherapy, somatic practices, and Mindfulness, I offer spaces—both virtual and in person where individuals and groups can slow down, reconnect, and move through what once felt unmovable. Together, we make room for what’s been silenced, and shape new paths forward.

Ecotherapy is an evidence based therapeutic approach that explores the healing power that nature provides. In ecotherapy there is a belief that people are connected and impacted by the natural environment. I often work with patients to reclaim their sense of balance through connection and activity in nature.
-
Gestalt therapy is a relational and humanistic form of psychotherapy that is highly experiential with a focus on the therapist-patient relationship. In a session with a gestalt approach I would likely offer experiments, encourage you to notice present feelings and sensations and we would pay close attention to your body language during the session. Gestalt focuses on the here and now with less importance on past events. The goal is to become aware of your experience and perceptions & to notice your response to the present moment. Gestalt therapy promotes opening yourself to more choices and to actively challenge the roadblocks that have gotten in the way of your well-being.
