Philip Cooke

My practice is committed to providing high quality, culturally-responsive, long term psychotherapy. I focus on helping patients increase self-awareness in the service of making desired, positive changes in life. In addition to extensive experience and training working with most common mental health concerns (e.g., depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship problems, life transitions, loss/grief), I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, developmental and complex trauma (e.g., adult survivors of longstanding childhood abuse), and personality concerns. I tend to work best with those interested in working toward lasting psychological change that goes beyond symptom reduction. My clinical approach is specifically tailored to each individual's needs, goals, and personalities. The heart of effective psychotherapy is a therapeutic relationship where you feel understood and respected enough to openly explore painful and/or unfamiliar parts of yourself. I work to help you increase your understanding of why you do the things you do so you can determine whether to try something different. There is no "correct" way to go about living, but it is possible to find a way of living that suits your life's unique circumstances and needs through a nuanced and individually crafted therapeutic process. I have daytime and evening availability during the weekdays, both in-person and virtual. I currently work with individuals over 18-years-old, couples, and partners in polyamorous relationships.
