 I’m Dr. Sharona Cohen, a licensed therapist with a PsyD. and over 20 years of experience creating real, lasting change.

Therapy with me is no-BS, results-focused, and built on partnership.

I don’t do handouts; I do hand-ups, and I believe in the hard work it takes from both of us to get you where you want to be.

Think of therapy as a dance—it takes two to tango, and I’m right there with you, guiding each step toward a life you want to grab by the horns.

Your failure and success aren’t just yours—they’re mine too, and I take them just as seriously as you do.

Here’s the deal: the only requirement for success in therapy is commitment. Show up on time, every time. Be brutally honest—even when it’s uncomfortable. And be willing to sit with the hard feelings because working through them is where the magic happens.

If you’re ready to commit, I’m ready to go all in with you.

I’ll call out the stories holding you back, challenge the excuses, and guide you toward a stronger, more empowered version of yourself.

I’m told I “talk like a truck driver,” but I also bring sharp intuition, lived experience, and creative methods to the table, helping you break through in ways you might not expect.

You’ll get honesty, tough love, and unwavering support every step of the way.

Professional Endorsements

    – Privately Disclosed

  • “Sharona is a one-stop shop if you want to improve your life. If you are stuck and scared, she will not only help you but also change your mindset so that if you get stuck and scared again, you can pull yourself out. She has taught me to be self-reliant and more confident than ever.”

  • “Thank you for teaching me how to trust myself and find my voice. I had issues with communicating with my wife; I do not know how, but when a topic we frequently fight about came up, I heard your voice in my head and decided to talk to her. It was the first time, and it went well.”

    – Privately Disclosed

  • “Her client care is second to none, and going anywhere else would be a waste of time and money. I can not say enough how much I recommend this gift of a human being to anybody. There will never be a point working with Sharona that you feel left behind or that she isn’t giving you as much attention as she physically can.”

    – Privately Disclosed

  • “It is fantastic to feel ‘normal’ and understood. Sharona, so you are a wizard. You have reached me immediately. I had a peaceful day and felt centered. I have managed to stay calm and in control of my thoughts. I have not felt like this ever. Hallelujah!”

    – Privately Disclosed

  • “All of our parents have fucked us up. Sharona is a safe space where you can reveal this fuckery and then find some methodology for you to confront it, overcome it, and be the individual you are supposed to be. That has been my experience, and I am thriving. That is the Sharona thing, to find in the immediate moment while you are reliving your worst nightmares, to trust the method she conveys to you, do it, and realize how free you just became.“
