About Peter Cosens

The decision to reach out to a therapist may be a difficult one but is viewed as a strength. Not knowing the answers to all your life questions is normal. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I will listen to your concerns and help you decide upon the most appropriate course of action.

My compassionate, firm approach helps most patients lead more happy and productive lives. I do not help you make excuses and will not recommend therapy indefinitely. I do not believe in endless therapy that costs you a fortune. I genuinely care for every patient. My record of integrity & responsibility speaks for itself.

Often, people choose therapy during times of stress and emotional pain. It may also be when you want to grow . The decision to seek therapy is a very personal decision. I’m experienced in treating an array of issues & disorders, including, but not limited to: · Addictions (Substance and Process) · Major Depression Disorder · Adult Children of Alcoholics · Men’s Issues · Military/Veterans · Anxiety Disorders · Mood Disorder · Bipolar Disorder · Panic Disorders – Co-dependence · Personal Growth · Crisis/Trauma Recovery · Schizoaffective Disorder · Dually Diagnosed Individuals · Schizophrenia · Ex-offenders · Self-Esteem · Grief/Loss Counseling · Spirituality · Impaired Professionals · Stress Management · Life Events/Transitions · Substance Abuse/Dependence

“As someone completely new to therapy, I’ve found speaking w my therapist incredibly helpful. I tend to talk quickly, and have a lot to say as a lot of things are on my mind about things I’m struggling with, but he has shown patience and grace in a time when I’ve desperately needed to just be heard.”

“Wise, patient and perceptive - all words to describe Peter. No preconceived ideas or approaches to therapy based on a questionnaire, rather a deliberate but subtle exploration of your needs, as you see them.”

“Has been very helpful. He listens well. Has great advice and a way to put things in perspective.”

“Peter has been a great therapist, providing excellent insight and tips on how to navigate anxiety as well as improve relaxation.”

“Peter is amazing at helping me see and work on things that I usually don’t pay attention to. He gives me so much confidence on how to be a better person and makes me feel good about the changes I’ve been practicing to make.”

“Peter is a very straightforward and direct therapist and I like his energy.”

“Dr. Cosen’s really seems to get me. He is supportive but also tells me when I am wrong and helps me to be better. I am thankful for having found him.”

“Smart, supportive, insightful, enjoyable to talk to”

“Pete is a blessing. So caring and understanding and not afraid to tell you the truth. Couldn't recommend him enough. I am very grateful for his sessions”

“What an excellent therapist! Pete is so talented at pinpointing problems and suggesting solutions that are just right. He has so much wisdom and insight to share. I would recommend to anyone ready to grow!”

“I've been seeing Pete for a little over a month now. He's honest, and upfront, while still being respectful and sensitive to the topics being discussed. You can definitely tell that he's interested in getting to the root of the problems that his clients present, and helping to alleviate those issues. <br /> <br /> I truly feel comfortable during our discussions, and like he's guiding me in the right direction. With my husband's support, I've been able to do a lot of work mentally because of Pete, to the point that my husband has noticed the difference in how I handle conflicts/difficult situations. I'd definitely recommend him to others who need a little assistance navigating these crazy things we call our brains and emotions!”

“Wonderful”

“A wonderful therapist who has been helping me through personal issues. Patient and kind, listens, and more importantly provides tools and advice.”

“Listens to what you have on your mind and always has good advice or food for thought. He understands when he needs to tell you something vs when he can guide you there”

“Pete Cosens is a genuine unbiased professional who will listen with intent and respond honestly. I have enjoyed the sessions i have had with him, allowing myself to open up and address issues or concerns with myself in a judgment free environment but will again provide honest opinions. Would recommend for those who seek to recognize their own faults and to be validated where warranted from an outside perspective.”
