A friend recommended Jacob to me after my young adult son experienced a crisis. His patient, positive and clear support helped us immensely. He helped us meet the challenges of the crisis and navigate the mental health system. Over the next year he had helped my son develop stability and confidence and facilitated the enhancement in f our communication and relationship. I am forever grateful. His office is a comfortable, professional and inspiring place to meet. I am forever grateful and highly recommend! read more

Strangely, when we went to him to see about family counseling, he discouraged us from pursuing treatment with him. He had a condescending manner that was not conducive to trust, so we figured he was doing us a favor. read more

Jacob is an incredibly adept therapist who, over the years, has assisted me with some major life challenges. After my wife of 32 passed away, Jacob was extremely supportive and provided me with tools to address the grieving process. He is a creative and compassionate man, and n my view a fantastic therapist and counselor. read more

Jacobs capacity to understand and collaboratively reflect with his patients what they are experiencing, was a strong determinant in returning for professional support. His keen awareness, paired with unparalleled knowledge of human behavior, contributes to his expertise as a therapist. Without reservation, I recommend Jacob Cohen as a seasoned therapist. read more

I first started seeing Jacob Cohen in order to deal with my past traumas. At the age of 62, I found myself still crying about the death of my first husband when I was 22. I had never thought of being in therapy, but knew something was just not right. My first few sessions involved me simply crying again, as I told him about my life and other past experiences. Throughout it all, Jake listened carefully to what I had to say, without ever being judgmental or shaming. He was always patient and recalled details from previous sessions. As needed, Jake would gently challenge me in regards to many of my beliefs in order to help me develop my own insights. Therapy helped me develop more self-confidence and to be more of my authentic self. Close friends have mentioned that they no longer see the anger I had before being in therapy. Jake is very passionate about his profession and considers it a gift to be able to help others reach their highest potential. Working with him was incredibly helpful and I know is the reason I'm so happy in my current life. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a structured approach to therapy. read more

Jacob had helped me with a difficult situation in the past. Ten years later I decided to use him again for a different family related challenge. My experience this time was hurtful, unproductive, and unprofessional. I was hoping to have a safe space to express long term concerns I was having with a close family member. Rather than creating a safe space for us, he ganged up on me with my family member, accused me of being passive aggressive, discounted the feelings and experience I was having for which I was seeking his support for, and told me he didn't want to work with me anymore. I was stunned and confused. It was harmful rather than helpful. read more

I am very sad to say that of the therapists that I have worked with in my lifetime, none of them ever accused me of playing a game with them like Jacob did. We agreed to terminate the professional relationship and I sent a courteous text and told him that he helped me and I wished him blessings, always. He then sent me a very hurtful text - a figurative punch in the gut on the way out the door that was highly unprofessional and harmful to my mental state. Knowing what my traumas are, he would be fully aware of what he did. I will never trust another therapist, again, after my experience with Jacob Cohen. -Monika Perlstein, LMT read more
