Dr. Joshua Cohen

Dr. Cohen has long had a fascination with the relationship between the brain and behavior, as well as their interactions with the environment of an individual. After earning his bachelor’s degree with honors from the Johns Hopkins University, he completed his doctorate in psychology at the University of Michigan. He was then selected for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship through the University of Michigan Healthcare System in Rehabilitation Psychology and Neuropsychology.  Much of Dr. Cohen's clinical experience has included serving patients in hospital settings, including the JFK Medical Center’s Inpatient Stroke and Brain Injury Units, the JFK Center for Brain Injuries, and Children's Specialized Hospital’s Intensive Outpatient Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program. Over the course of his clinical career, he has appreciated opportunities to serve patients with a wide variety of neuropsychological challenges, including acquired neurological conditions, such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, and viral encephalopathies, as well as neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ADHD, ASD, and Learning Disability. Additionally, he values caring for patients from various cultural, racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, sexual orientation, and gender identity backgrounds.  Furthermore, he is grateful for the nearly two years he lived in Argentina, which granted him proficiency in Spanish and now enables him to conduct assessments and treatment with Spanish speaking patients. Dr. Cohen presently balances managing a small group practice with his faculty role at Rutgers GSAPP, in which he enjoys teaching and supervising student clinicians. Having earned two mindfulness teacher certifications, he also is passionate about teaching mindfulness courses in the community.
