Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I saw Dr Cohen Archer weekly for about 6 months and I don’t know what I would have done without her through my postpartum depression and anxiety journey. She is fantastic and I highly recommend her

Incredibly helpful
Dr. Colby Cohen- Archer was the best mental health therapist that I have ever visited. She is great to talk to and very trustworthy. She had a structured plan for me to help work towards a goal, and visualize my progress along the way. Would highly recommend her to anyone.

So thankful!
I am so incredibly grateful that I found Dr. Cohen-Archer. She finds the perfect balance between offering insight and holding space for you to work through your own thoughts and emotions. She provided me with resources for me to check out on my own, if I chose to, along with strategies to practice when I was experiencing anxiety. Because of Dr. Cohen-Archer, I am a more confident and happy mother. I will always be grateful to her for helping me through this season of my life.

A great help
I sought out Dr. Cohen-Archer initially for sleep issues. She offered many concrete strategies for me to try that were helpful almost immediately, and then we went on together to examine some of the stressors at the root of my insomnia. She is a great listener and often picked up on things I didn't even realize I was saying, giving me clarity and helping me find better ways of coping. I am much happier and mentally healthy for having worked with her. Highly recommend.

I struggled significantly with PPD with my first child. With my second I worked with Dr. Cohen-Archer and had similar thoughts but never felt depressed like I did with my first. It made such a difference and I was able to connect with my child much more quickly. I'm very happy I reached out to Dr. Cohen-Archer and will recommend her to anyone that's expecting in the future.

Honest and Helpful
Dr. Cohen-Archer was very helpful in helping me find out why I wasn't sleeping well, and then showing me what I can do to change that. She was honest with me about the whole process as well as helping me to be honest with myself. I appreciated her active listening and reassuring tone/countenance in every session. I no longer struggle as much with anxiety that affects my sleep. Even if I do still struggle at times, she has given me the tools I need to be successful on my own.

Saved Me
I've been seeing Dr. Cohen-Archer for a few years now. I'd been to 3 therapists before her and none really helped. I was in a dark hole of postpartum depression and she was able to give me the tools to help me. I honestly don't know where I would be without her today. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I have been battling with bouts of depression and insomnia for a long time. I could hardly sleep at night. To the point I would just watch the hours tick by on the clock calculating if I fall asleep, how I will get this many hours. And then getting up thinking well I didn’t get my eight hours so today will be miserable. My depression was getting so bad that I would lash out at my family and create a pretty toxic environment. I talked through several of my issues and Dr. Cohen-Archer was able to give pretty simple techniques to try at home that turned out to be very helpful. Next we started talking about my insomnia. She gave me what I thought were way too simplistic techniques to try to fall asleep. She told me to stop taking my pills cold turkey. You can only imagine the fear that covered my body since I had been taking them every night for at least two years. So I picked the day I was going to start. I started all the pre-bedtime rituals and went to bed. She warned me tha

When I first reached out to Dr. Cohen-Archer after struggling with severe postpartum anxiety I was skeptical anything would help. But trying to remain open minded, because I knew I needed help, I invested the time and effort into our sessions. It was more than worth it! Her expertise on the topic, combined with her calm and easy to talk to demeanor made for very effective counseling for me. After some time I was able to see improvements I was making and know it was because of her counseling I came so far. I’m grateful I reached out!

I have been in therapy with Dr. Cohen-Archer for the past year for OCD, GAD, and some mild depressive symptoms. I have made tremendous progress using the skills I gained in therapy along with medication and can honestly say that I am a completely different person than I was at this same time last year. Dr. Cohen-Archer helped me understand and cope with my symptoms more effectively. She challenged me while also being supportive and empathetic. She was very knowledgeable and helped me discover many new things about myself and my anxiety. I am very grateful that I found her and would recommend her to anyone struggling with anxiety/depression.

I recently concluded my treatment with Dr. Cohen-Archer. Her approach was kind, effective, flexible, and professional. Dr. Cohen-Archer has helped me successfully handle the symptoms of OCD and recover from crippling depression. If I had to do it all again, I would without hesitation go to Dr. Cohen-Archer. She has done an amazing job equipping me to live joyfully with OCD. I appreciate the practical advice, the warm encouragement, and the scientifically-sound cognitive-behavior therapy. I highly and happily recommend Dr. Cohen-Archer.

Truly incredible. I saw Dr. Cohen-Archer for postpartum anxiety after a traumatic birth. Her help allowed me to process my experience. She validated my feelings and helped me to move on. She helped me with additional (non postpartum) issues as well. She is kind, compassionate, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She uses research based techniques and has a good grasp of community resources. I would recommend her to anyone.

For me, it was over when she told me way too much info about another patient. Especially when it was kinda obvious who it was. I tried going a few more times but it was so upsetting. I’d been thinking about leaving anyway. She never seemed to have much of a plan. She is really sweet to talk to and I’d feel better for talking. But overall she just made me feel helpless and honestly worse for some of the feelings I had. She’s also very opinionated! My psychiatrist said she has a reputation for talking about her clients, even to other therapists, so then you have to worry about who you go to next. Please, just don’t start there!
