Barbara L. Cohen, MA, LMFT -- I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 30 years with a wide population of individuals, couples and groups. I have acquired a lifetime of experience and a suite of skills and therapeutic techniques from which to draw in order to work with you in the most appropriate and effective manner to help you achieve your goals in therapy and in life. I work with my clients in a healing partnership, customizing my approaches for their particular needs and abilities during the ongoing therapeutic process.
Having lived abroad in several countries and having lived in the Silicon Valley for over 30 years, I bring a multi-cultural perspective to all my encounters.
Educated in Europe, at San Francisco State University and Santa Clara University, I bring a breadth of knowledge, not just about psychology and counseling, but about life, relationships and communications to my interactions.I believe in a gentle holistic approach to therapy, helping to facilitate your growth as an independent,
autonomous human being, not to encourage a dependency on me as a therapist.
However, I must be supportive in this process, providing feedback,
guidance, and the space to figure things out for yourself at the pace
you set.
My office is handicapped accessible, close to downtown Palo Alto, with on street parking. I can be reached at (650) 325-9510 or
