Dr. Cotsen's bio
This content was provided by Dr. Cotsen "Hi, I'm Dr. Adam Cotsen. Life can get really difficult sometimes, and it's hard to know what kind of help to seek and who to find it from. As a Harvard-educated psychiatrist with extensive training in psychotherapy and medication management, I'm familiar with a wide range of issues and have many tools in my doctor bag. And as a human being who has faced his own struggles along the way, I'm someone who gets it and is committed to helping you figure out what's wrong and what to do about it. I'll help you learn more about what you're going through and even give you homework assignments if you like. If psychotherapy would help, I'll let you know and offer a version of it geared to your particular needs. If medication would help, you and I can figure out how to make it work best for you. If another treatment would be important, I'll refer you to people I trust. With every hard spot in life, comes opportunity, the opportunity to learn about yourself and put yourself back together in a way that's happier and stronger than you were before. That's my goal for everyone who walks through my door. Thank you, and I hope we get the chance to meet soon."
