Dr. JEANETTE SAWYER COHEN is a Columbia University trained clinical psychologist specializing in maternal mental health, including perinatal anxiety, depression, and trauma. Previously trained as a birth doula, she recognizes that women and/or their partners benefit from having a compassionate space to process experiences around childbirth and parenthood, with the opportunity to explore questions about child development and parenting.

Dr. Sawyer Cohen employs and integrative approach tailored to each individual that draws from an in-depth study of developmental, relationship and somatic interventions. Her long-standing interests in attachment and social cognition have led her in recent years to seek out advanced training in Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT).

"Most of my clients are smart, sensitive, anxious moms who are looking for a blend of psychotherapy and some parent support. Often they are raising neurodivergent children. I help women make sense of their own experiences. As a result of therapy, women report feeling less symptomatic and more connected to their own bodies and their intuition. Parents feel more confident and connected."

Dr. Sawyer Cohen also specializes in developmental and behavioral concerns in children. Recognized as an infant mental health specialist, she is passionate about sharing the science of child development through consultation, research, advocacy and teaching.
