Elliot D. Cohen

Do you find you can be successful, but still keep hitting walls? Are you feeling stuck with unfulfilling work or relationships? Are you struggling to find deeper meaning and purpose in life? Are you feeling like you might be in a prison of your own making and ready to make some changes to be happier? If so, you've come to right the place.

 

Working with me may be a great place to start, if you are:

​

• Feeling stuck

• Craving more creativity

• Facing tough decisions and difficult life events

• Seeking to find more possibilities in life than you've previously imagined 

• Wanting to live more intentionally or find meaning in your life

• Striving to enhance meaningfulness in your relationships​​ and work

 

I help individuals and couples break down walls. I help them face irrational beliefs that keep them stuck in emotional difficulties. Becoming more conscious rather than acting from habit or fear allows them greater freedom. It allows them to take responsibility for their own lives, be fully present, and connect more deeply with themselves and others.

Most people haven't heard of Philosophical Counseling, however, they have heard of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)-- Philosophical Counseling utilizes Logic-based Therapy which is a branch of those (CBT/REBT) and is a form of therapy enlightened by philosophy and logic. As a Philosophical Practitioner, I'm trained in Logic-based Therapy and recognized by the National Philosophical Counseling Association (formerly the American Society for Philosophy, Counseling, and Psychotherapy). I'm certified as a Philosophical Consultant, and trained to help clients deal with many kinds of problems that people confront in the course of everyday life. These include but are not limited to:
