Stephen’s personal history led him into the field of recovery. As a survivor of alcoholism with the desire to be of service to others, there was no greater calling for him than to become a recovery coach. He left his successful position on Wall Street to help others who are not able to help themselves – just like Stephen experienced.

Providing guidance and tools, our clients build life skills and realistic mindsets. Parallax creates a safe space for you to see that you are a good person despite past behaviors which brought you negative consequences and hurt others.

Dr. Cohen is a  PhD level recovery coach specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). His experiential approach includes a collaboration outside of the traditional office setting and involves facing the daily challenges outside of a therapeutic bubble.  Real Issues, Real Time. He helps the client change their thinking and behavior simultaneously. Being engaged in the client’s life, whether that is a traveling career, office, movie set, or dental chair. This allows the team to deal with the issue immediately and “not have to wait for next week’s 45-minute session”.

(Since we cannot predict when an Event Horizon or triggers occur, Dr. Cohen offers 24/7 emergency availability with full continuum of recovery coaching as well as case and crisis management.) Removing the office setting allows for Client freedom; to express freely whether outdoors, at parks, restaurants, beaches, and even golf courses. The concierge aftercare approach creates freedom and security without an unrealistic bubble environment.
