Cooper Mental Health Counseling was developed by its founder Dr. Marty Cooper. There are several principles that guide our work. We believe that in order to help you we need to understand your concern from your perspective. We believe that you can feel better. Our focus is on your whole life and by maintaining this focus you have the potential to radically change your life. Although we recognize that therapy may be difficult at times, we believe that you have the possibility of finding something awesome on the other side. We will work tirelessly with you to help you develop a road map that may guide you for years beyond your work with us.
I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Many struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, or difficulty creating meaningful connections. Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences—whether from childhood or past relationships—impact your present struggles. We’ll challenge negative beliefs, cultivate self-compassion, and help you build emotional resilience. Therapy is not just about working through difficulties but also about discovering your inner strengths, using them to foster lasting change and greater confidence in your life.

Is anxiety taking over your life—leaving you overwhelmed, on edge, or stuck in your head? When anxiety is constant, it can feel impossible to stay present, manage emotions, or maintain healthy relationships. You might find yourself overthinking everything, struggling with panic attacks, and feeling exhausted from trying to keep it together. Anxiety can make you feel helpless and hopeless, but it doesn't have to be that way. I help people who feel consumed by anxiety and the emotional toll it takes. Using a mix of DBT, CBT, and grounding techniques, I’ll help you learn how to calm your mind and navigate intense feelings. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel more confident, less anxious, and more connected to the life you want to live.
Welcome to a safe place where you will be seen, your voice will be heard, and your story counts. Psychotherapy should be a nonjudgemental, affirming, and collaborative process where you always feel supported. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your struggles, uncover practical solutions, build on your strengths, and create a path toward the growth and healing you deserve. My therapy approach is warm, empowering, and affirming, creating a space where you feel truly seen and supported. I believe in a solution-oriented mindset, helping you navigate challenges with practical tools and meaningful insights. Starting or continuing therapy is a personal and intimidating choice, and I genuinely respect the bravery required. I encourage you to set up a free consultation to explore how we might work together. Reach out, and let’s take it one day at a time—toward a healthier, more balanced you.
Aren't you tired of reading these profiles? Searching for that perfect mix of magic and promise that makes you think, "this one might just be worth the risk." And why shouldn't you be picky, right? Therapy IS a risk. You're risking time, money, and most of all; vulnerability. You want some sort of assurance that your risk will pay off. Well, no one can promise you that. Your therapist won't always know the perfect thing to say, and you won't walk out of every session feeling better. You want growth? You want change? That takes the willingness to not just bear, but to actually VALUE the pain involved in learning. Because if I'm doing my job right, then the negative patterns that are holding you back in life will spill out into the room. So if you’re just looking to end your suffering, I can't help you (sadly, no one can). If you want to learn to withstand the torment that life brings upon us. To translate that suffering into growth and change. Then reach out to me.
I believe that each and every individual is unique, from the issues you face to the path in which life has taken you. I apply this idea to every client that I work with. I work hard to listen to your struggles, help you process the emotions you may be facing, and collaborate to find solutions that are going to be the best fit for you. I look for clients who are open to an equal amount of support and challenge from their therapist, as I believe both of those ideas are vital to making positive growth in life.
Life has the tendency of becoming overwhelming, especially when tasked with managing school, work, and your personal life. Talking it out provides an outlet that helps in easing the worries you might be experiencing. Everyone has personal struggles and being able to open up about it in a safe space allows us to navigate and cope with the circumstances.

I provide individual therapy that is warm, collaborative, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each person I see. I strongly value inclusivity, liberation, and respect--values I incorporate into my work by staying centered in a Black feminist and HAES perspective. My clients arrive in therapy coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. Together, we work not only toward developing healthy coping skills, but toward healing for a sense of purpose, contentment, and peace. Therapy is an excellent place to affirm and internalize a greater sense of self worth and to practice a compassionate attitude toward yourself. I am particularly skilled at working with individuals who have experienced trauma. While I am experienced working with people of many different backgrounds and identities, I am especially well versed in working with people of color & LGBTQIAA+ individuals who contend with microaggressions and systems that diminish wellness. Choosing to come to therapy is an incredible opportunity for learning, growth, and creating a life of meaning and fulfillment. I offer individual therapy for adults and elders located in NY or NJ by phone or video conference only. **Please note, I accept only out of network benefits and am not in network with any insurance panels.**
