Jacky Cohen was an extern at Mirror Mental Health for one year and then completed her predoctoral internship there as well. She is currently a Postdoctoral Clinical Fellow/Psychology Associate with Mirror Mental Health.
Prior to changing careers, Jacky worked extensively with adolescents and young adults with disabilities both for speech and language therapy as well as counseling. Subsequently, she supported parents as they navigated parenting children with learning differences or disabilities and emerging independence.
Over the course of the last several years, Jacky has given presentations and facilitated discussions in private practice settings as well as schools and higher education settings.

All of her experience combines to create an understanding and safe environment for clients to explore their desired paths.
Currently, Jacky is providing individual and couple’s therapy sessions.
Why Jacky Became a Therapist
I am honored by all those who choose to share their life stories with me and allow me to walk a part of their journey of self-discovery alongside them.
How Jacky Lives Authentically
I believe animals are the most authentic beings, getting their needs met unapologetically. I strive to view the world through my dog’s eyes… asking for what she needs and knowing her worth.
