Avi Kohn, LMSW
Everyone lives with challenges – some more manageable than others. Maybe you do not feel you are getting enough out of life, or feel you are stuck in a bad relationship pattern. Sometimes, things can feel so cloudy that you are unsure what to think. This is the story for many, yet everyone is a culmination of their own experiences – your upbringing, your strengths, your challenges, your dreams, and your current life circumstances. These are the ingredients that make you who you are. I am always fascinated and inspired by our beautiful and complex experience as human beings.
I grew up as a religious person in a family-oriented home. As such, I have always appreciated introspection, connection, and honesty. Significantly, both my parents were born in post-war Europe and were forced to come to America with nothing. Nothing except passion to rebuild. As such, we were raised to be kind and driven contributors to society. Naturally, these values led me to Social Work, where I have the opportunity to be in awe of the people I get to meet with as we walk through their challenges with their courage to face them.
As a Therapist, I practice Humanistic Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). As a Humanistic Therapist, I commit to care for and to build a meaningful relationship with my clients as I partner with them along their journey.
I look forward to humbly hearing your story and helping you address the challenges of life! I am hoping that through our work together, we can help you to get closer to the life you want to live, and I commend you for having the courage to do so!
