Noa Cohen
Individual psychotherapy
About
Nice to meet you :) I'm Noa, a Tel-Aviv based therapist and am currently a Ph.D. student specializing in family dynamics and childhood trauma. ​​
​​​
I'm led by a belief that we all deserve to live a fulfilling life, a life that feels "just right" for us. I offer psychodynamic talk therapy combined with DBT tools, that is based on mutually open and honest communication. My approach is integrative, in that it combines tools and elements from different approaches, based on the unique needs of each individual. The focus is the subjective experience of the self and the world, intuition, and the healing potential that we all possess. In our sessions we'll work together towards growth and positive change, through the exploration of concepts like interpersonal patterns, core beliefs, emotional experience and mindfulness.
​
I offer in-person and online therapy sessions in Hebrew and English. Please feel free to contact me however you feel comfortable (phone or e-mail) and schedule an appointment.
