About Ben Cohen, Ph.D.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 30 years of experience in the fields of couples counseling, marriage therapy, and psychotherapy. I am fully licensed to practice in both California and Colorado, specializing in helping individuals and couples deeply enhance their lives and relationships.

My Professional Credentials & Background

To provide the highest level of care, I have dedicated much of my career to mastering and teaching advanced relationship modalities:

• Certified Imago Therapist: I received my certification in Imago Relationship Therapy in 1994 and have specialized since then in helping couples and individuals enhance their lives and relationships.

• International Workshop Presenter: Since 2002, I have presented over 100 “Getting The Love You Want” couples’ workshops both nationally and internationally.

• Clinical Educator: I have extensive experience training other therapists, including 10 years as an adjunct faculty member at Naropa University and serving as the Training Director at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I was on the Faculty of the Imago Institute, and served for 5 years as Co-Dean of the Faculty of Imago Relationships International.

• Other Trainings: I have had training in numerous other approaches including Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, Voice Dialogue, Brainspotting, Mindfulness Based CBT for Depression, and others.

I am known for the passion, sensitivity, warmth, and humor that I share with my clients, workshop attendees, and clinical trainees.

My Philosophy on Relationship Growth

On a more personal note…

I feel very lucky to have discovered the Imago approach early in my career. My passion for this work has led me to obtain the highest levels of training possible and to stay involved for many years with the worldwide community of Imago therapists.

My experience has shown me that we can all use a little help in our intimate relationships. There is truly nothing in life more important than our connections with our partners, children, and communities. I believe there are a few simple, universal truths that make any relationship work: we need to be more loving, caring, and compassionate—and less critical or negative.

If only it were always that easy! While my ultimate goal is simply to help you become more loving and caring, I know firsthand that it takes specific, practical skills and deep understanding to get there. My approach is structured yet flexible, giving you essential relationship tools while honoring your unique personalities and dynamics. Together, we’ll create a deeper connection and lasting growth.

I would be honored to help you achieve that, and I am happy to discuss working together if this feels like the right fit for you.
