Dr. Cohen has long had a fascination with the relationship between the
brain and behavior, as well as their interactions with the environment
of an individual. After earning his bachelor's degree with honors from
the Johns Hopkins University, he completed his doctorate in psychology
at the University of Michigan. He was then selected for a two-year
postdoctoral fellowship through the University of Michigan Healthcare
System in Rehabilitation Psychology and Neuropsychology. Much of Dr.
Cohen's clinical experience has included serving patients in hospital
settings, including the JFK Medical Center's Inpatient Stroke and Brain
Injury Units, the JFK Center for Brain Injuries, and Children's
Specialized Hospital's Intensive Outpatient Brain Injury Rehabilitation
Program. Over the course of his clinical career, he has appreciated
opportunities to serve patients with a wide variety of
neuropsychological challenges, including acquired neurological
conditions, such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, and viral
encephalopathies, as well as neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ADHD,
ASD, and Learning Disability. Additionally, he values caring for
patients from various cultural, racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, sexual
orientation, and gender identity backgrounds. Furthermore, he is
grateful for the nearly two years he lived in Argentina, which granted
him proficiency in Spanish and now enables him to conduct assessments
and treatment with Spanish speaking patients. Dr. Cohen presently
balances managing a small group practice with his faculty role at
Rutgers GSAPP, in which he enjoys teaching and supervising student
clinicians. Having earned two mindfulness teacher certifications, he
also is passionate about teaching mindfulness courses in the community.
