Dr. Amber Cohen | Psy.D., C.Psych. (She/Her) Clinic Owner and Director and CEO

As a Registered Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Cohen Clinic, I have dedicated my career to creating a compassionate, empowering environment where individuals can achieve mental and emotional well-being. My journey began with an Honours BA in Psychology from The University of Western Ontario, which inspired me to pursue my Master’s and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology (Chicago, IL). 

As a registered member of The College of Psychologists and Behavioural Analysts of Ontario and a member of The Ontario Psychological Association, I am committed to leading my team and supporting clients in overcoming challenges, building resilience, and fostering long-lasting growth. The Cohen Clinic is a holistic therapy practice focused on integrating the mind-body connection to promote comprehensive mental health and healing. I have special interests in helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, trauma, gastrointestinal difficulties, and ADHD – amongst other difficulties and disorders.

I believe in a collaborative, integrative approach to therapy and draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities to create tailored treatment plans that suit individual needs. I work with clients to uncover and address the root causes of their struggles, cultivate resilience, and enhance their overall well-being.

In addition to providing individual therapy, I’m passionate about training and mentoring fellow therapists. Through workshops, trainings, and ongoing professional development, I create a supportive learning environment where clinicians can deepen their expertise, build confidence, and expand their skills.

With a deep understanding of both the evidence-based aspects of healing, I strive to create a nurturing, inclusive space where both clients and therapists can thrive.
