Our Services
J Cohen Therapy offers personalized psychotherapy and counselling for children, teens, adults, and families. Sessions are available in person at Yonge and Eglinton, in-home throughout select Toronto neighbourhoods, and virtually across Ontario.
How We Can Help
-
Children and teens may experience challenges with anxiety, emotional regulation, friendships, school, and family relationships. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore these difficulties, develop coping strategies, build confidence, and strengthen emotional well-being.
Sessions are tailored to each child's age and individual needs, incorporating play-based activities, practical strategies, and talk therapy.
-
Individual therapy offers a supportive, confidential space to navigate anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, emotional challenges, and life transitions.
Together, we'll explore patterns of thinking and behaviour, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change.
-
Family therapy focuses on strengthening relationships, improving communication, and helping families navigate challenges together.
Sessions provide an opportunity to better understand one another, work through conflict, and develop healthier ways of communicating and supporting each other.
-
Parent coaching provides practical guidance for caregivers navigating their child's emotional, behavioural, or developmental challenges.
Together, we'll explore strategies for managing difficult behaviours, setting healthy boundaries, supporting emotional regulation, and strengthening the parent-child relationship.
Areas of Support
-
ADHD and executive functioning challenges can affect attention, organization, planning, time management, task initiation, and emotional regulation.
Therapy focuses on developing practical, individualized strategies to strengthen these skills, build independence, and improve confidence at home, school, and in everyday life.
-
Anxiety can appear as excessive worrying, avoidance, perfectionism, physical discomfort, or difficulty managing uncertainty.
Therapy helps individuals better understand their anxiety, recognize unhelpful thought patterns, and develop coping strategies to approach challenging situations with greater confidence.
-
Managing strong emotions can be challenging, particularly for children who are still learning to identify and express their feelings.
Therapy focuses on recognizing emotions, understanding triggers, and developing healthy ways to respond to frustration, anger, sadness, and overwhelm.
-
Low self-esteem can affect relationships, motivation, decision-making, and the willingness to try new things.
Therapy helps individuals recognize their strengths, challenge negative self-talk, develop self-compassion, and build a more positive sense of self.
-
Navigating friendships and social situations can be difficult, especially when challenges arise with communication, boundaries, conflict, or understanding others' perspectives.
Therapy supports the development of social awareness, communication skills, flexibility, and confidence in building and maintaining meaningful relationships.
-
Challenging behaviours may reflect difficulties with emotional regulation, communication, frustration tolerance, or other underlying needs.
Therapy focuses on understanding what may be contributing to these behaviours and developing practical strategies to support emotional expression, problem-solving, and positive behaviour change.
-
Life changes such as starting a new school, family separation, relationship changes, or other significant transitions can bring uncertainty and emotional stress.
Therapy provides support in processing difficult emotions, building resilience, and adjusting to change.
