Not Your Average Therapy Center

We wanted to learn all about Randi Cohen, MD, PhD and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Dr. Randi Cohen.

The first question we had for Dr. Cohen was what is it that sets Randi Cohen, MD, PhD apart from her competition in Connecticut. Dr. Cohen told us that most other psychiatrists are only trained in psychodynamic therapy, but Dr Cohen has lots of cross-training, which allows for a more rounded approach. Dr. Cohen has expertise in a variety of techniques, including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral and cognitive processing therapy. She also works with patients who wish to get the treatment they need without relying on medication, which builds mutual respect. Additionally, Dr. Cohen has training in CBT for OCD.

Dr. Cohen went on to add:

“I am interactive and transparent about what is happening during the treatment. I feel that this helps you get the most from the therapy experience. I have training in a number of therapy styles, from classical to modern, so I am able to tailor my approach to suit the person and the problem.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Randi Cohen, MD, PhD and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Dr. Cohen had to say:

“I have been fortunate to be able to help people who are stuck in their lives find ways to move on productively, to help people improve the quality of their relationships and to help people’s inner worlds become more tolerable and even pleasant and rewarding in ways that they may not have imagined possible. Generally, my goal is to help others become more comfortable with all aspects of themselves and live more in accordance with their values, and to develop and strive for goals consistent with those values. I am contributing to the world one person ( and one relationship) at a time.”

Building Success With a Transparent, Warm Approach

Dr. Cohen attributes Randi Cohen, MD, PhD’s strong online reputation to her commitment to taking a transparent, warm approach to patient care. She understands that coming to treatment for mental health requires courage. She tries to be kind to patients and meet them where they are. People often reciprocate those warm feelings and want to share their positive experiences with others — patients who have been helped also want others to know they are not alone and don’t have to hide.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Randi Cohen, MD, PhD has gotten her name out there by keeping her website transparent about the kind of treatment she provides,\ and through word-of-mouth referrals from both patients and other medical providers.
