" After many years of doing talk therapy, I decided that I wanted to try something more structured and goal oriented like CBT. I found NYC-CT online and was paired with Larisa Kohen for three months of online sessions. The clinic was quick to reply to my initial inquiry and approve a sliding-scale rate based off of my freelance income and lack of insurance coverage. The assessments, psycho-education, worksheets, and emotional support that Larisa provided were very helpful and exactly what I'd hoped for. I was a little nervous that online sessions would be awkward or not as impactful, but thankfully neither proved to be true. I was very comfortable and the shared screen feature that Larissa used make doing worksheets together very easy. All and all, I'm very happy with the services I received and would gladly refer others and reach back out of I ever need additional support! -- Roni, 2022
" My experience with therapy was extremely positive. I found Larisa easy and enjoyable to talk to. She provided extremely useful tools for coping with general anxious feelings around the pandemic and remote work, and also helped me through tough situations surrounding my family. It was a hard decision to end therapy because I enjoyed our conversations. If I find myself in need of therapy again in the future I will definitely reach out to Larisa again. - Sam B, 2022

"I have seen a major change in the way I am able to handle my anxiety since working with Larisa. She is easy to talk to and a fantastic listener. Larisa helped me formulate methods through which to track my thoughts and to reframe my viewpoint. I have become less critical of myself through learning about cognitive distortions that will help me beyond my time in therapy. This has improved my life and my outlook drastically.
