Confidence comes from knowing you can handle what comes next. I'm Sara Cohn, a licensed clinical social worker in White Plains, New York, who helps children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, social challenges, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Drawing on nearly 20 years of experience supporting children and families in school settings, I bring a warm, practical, and collaborative approach to my private practice, with a focus on skills you can use—and trust—in everyday life.

As the middle school years approach, friendships can feel harder to navigate. This group gives children a place to practice noticing social cues, working through frustration and disagreements, getting through awkward moments, and recognizing friendships that feel right for them.
Together, we use games, role-play, conversation, and everyday situations to practice flexible thinking and build confidence with peers. The goal is to help children make meaningful connections while feeling comfortable being themselves.
Practice friendship skills in a supportive setting.
Life after a baby can hold happiness and overwhelm at the same time. Feeling exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of yourself can sit alongside changes in your relationships and sense of identity.
This group offers space to speak honestly with other women who understand this transition, find encouragement, and explore practical ways to care for yourself. You are welcome whether you are becoming a parent for the first time or welcoming another baby. Babies are welcome, too.
College can bring exciting opportunities to connect, along with uncertainty about where you fit in. This group is for young adults who experience social anxiety or discomfort in various social settings and want to gain confidence in their social and dating life.
Through conversation, practical tools, and everyday examples, we explore starting conversations, meeting people, finding your way in social settings, dating, and coping with rejection or worries about being judged. Together, we practice ways to form meaningful relationships and feel more at ease reaching out to others.
Build confidence in connection, one step at a time.
