LISA COHEN, MSW, LICSW

I work with teens, adults, and older adults experiencing a wide range of challenges, such as anxiety, depression, bullying, relationship issues, major life transitions, life-limiting illnesses, care-giving challenges, and grief and loss.  

 

As a trauma specialist, I understand the importance of creating a safe space, building trust, working collaboratively, and empowering clients to recognize how distressing experiences may be impacting their lives. Together, we can work towards healing, resilience, and growth.

 

My approach is informed by Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Ego States/Parts Work.

 

In addition to supporting clients at Seattle Family Support, I lead bullying prevention presentations and workshops using my short documentary, Confessions of a Social Bully. 

 

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (#LW61472202), and a member of the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). I hold a BA in Fine Arts History from Tufts University and an MSW from the University of Washington.  To ensure my best service to you, I consult regularly with my colleagues at Seattle Family Support, LLC.
