Former Coordinator of the Outpatient Eating Disorders Program at North Shore University Hospital in Long Island, NY as well as  the Inpatient  Eating Disorders Program at Holliswood Hospital in Queens, NY, Deborah Cohen has been treating people with eating disorders for over 25 years.  She regularly consults with medical doctors, nutritionists, schools and colleges to ensure comprehensive treatment and is mindful of the impact an eating disorded  person has on their family as well as their family's impact on them. 

Trained in systems theory as well as psychodynamic, attachemnt and cognitive behavioral therapy, Ms.Cohen is able to draw from a variety of sources to develop an individualized treatment plan which specifically address the concerns of someone coming into treatment, whether it be for an individual, couple or family problem. Ms Cohen conceptualizes psychotherapy as a continual learning process; for her to better understand her client's needs and for her clients to better understand themselves and their behavior. When needed, she works closely with other professionals associated with a client.
