Welcome

I’m Gretchen Cohoon, LCSW a therapist and educator practicing in New York.  I specialize in relationships, Complex PTSD, and relational trauma recovery. I guide individuals and couples through the patterns, pain, and trauma that keep connection stuck, helping them transform old habits and build relationships that feel alive, authentic, and deeply satisfying. My approach integrates Relational Life Therapy with somatic, embodied, and mindfulness-based practices, helping clients work with activation in the body, cultivate presence, and create a new relationship with themselves — and their loved ones. I believe in the power of love as a force for healing, growth, and transformation, and it’s at the heart of everything I do.

I have taught at NYU and provided psychotherapy to crime survivors navigating the criminal justice system, gaining deep experience supporting clients through complex trauma. I am currently completing certification in Somatic EMDR, expanding my expertise in body-centered trauma healing. My work combines evidence-based methods with a spiritual and embodied lens, supporting individuals and couples in cultivating authentic connection, resilience, and relational courage.

Whether you’re navigating relational trauma, Complex PTSD, or stuck patterns in intimacy, therapy with me is about more than talk — it’s felt, embodied, and transformative. Together, we create space for healing, growth, and relationships that truly thrive.
