Dave Cohen Counseling, MA, LCMHC
an integrative approach to balance & support in a radically uncertain world
Brattleboro, VT / 802.258.7013
You'll likely get that I'm not the typical mental health practitioner. I am keenly interested in how we have become conditioned by worldviews that are absolutely not in our best interests or neither anyone else's, nor the planet as a whole. Most importantly, I believe we possess the capacity to connect to our core human capacities rooted to the human and greater-than-human terrain we all inhabit. These relationships that can inspire us to move beyond the vast array of cultural limitations and distortions.
"At this critical hour, any dream worth its salt ought to seem impossible
to mainstream society & to the mainstream elements of our own minds.”
I draw on a range of approaches — Internal Family Systems (aka IFS or parts work), somatic modalities, ecopsychology, spirituality & mindfulness. The focus is on attending to despair, grief, frustration, doom, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness, as well as our fragmented relationship to the greater-than-human world. Together we'll explore how to cultivate skills to draw on your deep inner knowing so you can bring your particular medicine to the world the best you can.
For the past four decades I have helped people grow in my work as a business owner, educator, mentor and activist. I love helping to bring forth inspiration and a path forward to those wrestling with the state of our world. Most importantly, I have an intimate sense of the struggles we face in our work. Let's do this together.
I am presently working mostly online with limited availability.
My fee is $135 with a limited number of sliding scale appointment slots.
I also accept Medicaid, BC/BS. MVP, CBA Blue and can bill out of network for many plans.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
