Matthew Cohen
LPC, LMHC, LCADC, ICGC-I, CASAC-G
I'm Matthew Cohen, Founder of NEST and a Licensed Therapist in New York and New Jersey, specializing in mental health and addiction.
Before establishing NEST, I served as Clinical Director for The Safe Foundation’s New Jersey branch. During my seven years at Safe, I gained extensive experience in assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of mental health and addiction challenges.
Beyond clinical practice, I am passionate about community engagement. I teach Project SAFE to high school students, equipping them with essential knowledge and skills to navigate mental health, substance use, and other real-world challenges.
My therapeutic approach is always tailored to each client's unique needs. I focus on creating an empathetic, supportive environment where personal growth and healing can flourish.
Whatever your journey may involve, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
At NEST, we believe that true healing and growth begin in a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment.
Like a nest, our practice is a place of warmth and protection, where clients can heal, grow, and prepare to embrace the next phase of their journey with confidence.
We are dedicated to helping our clients:
Nurture their emotional well-being.
Empower themselves through life’s challenges.
Strengthen their relationships and resilience.
Thrive in their personal and professional lives.
