Hi, I’m Anita Mambo Cohn. The longer I do this work, the more strongly I believe everything we need to heal and thrive is deeply rooted within us. I continue to be awed and honored to watch others discover this as they begin to access their inner world.
The Harvest Your Strengths process of unfolding leads to growth and change. The more you see yourself, the more open you become, and the more ready you will be to embark on the journey of harvesting your strengths.
Being the Change Agent in your own life is truly inspiring and transformative!
Warmly, Anita
Anita’s Story (bio)
In 2009, Anita followed her dream of starting her own practice called Harvest Your Strengths. She is honored to have helped hundreds of individuals and couples find their unique strengths and strengthen their relationships. She truly loves engaging in this transformative process with others.
Anita is a Licensed Psychotherapist, a Clinical Social Worker, a Certified Couple and Family Therapist, a Certified Gottman Bringing Baby Home Educator and Coach. She has 20 years of experience working in the social service sector. Before starting Harvest Your Strengths, she held positions as an individual therapist, a family therapist, an after-school educator, and an administrator for youth and families.
Her office is located in the vibrant neighborhood of Noho, New York City. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her husband, son, and dog and considers wandering to be one of her most favorite pastimes.
Anita’s Therapy Approach
If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, overwhelm, dissatisfaction, depression, loss, trauma or adjusting to life’s transitions, we will work together to understand what is happening and then harvest your inner and resilient strengths to ignite healing and recovery.
If you are looking to strengthen your relationship, marriage or partnership, I can help you to better understand one another and strengthen your bond. Warmly, Anita
