Cheryl Cohen, APRN

Cheryl Cohen, APRN

With over two decades in behavioral health and two years of psychiatric medication‑prescribing experience, I am a Board‑Certified PMHNP and licensed MFT dedicated to person‑centered, evidence‑based psychiatric care. My work spans in‑patient and out‑patient settings, including adult and geriatric psychiatry, crisis evaluation, diagnostic assessment, treatment planning, and medication management. I have provided psychiatric services across hospital systems, community agencies, and multidisciplinary teams, and I am proficient with EHRs such as Epic, Meditech, and Point‑Click‑Care.

My career has been shaped by a commitment to healing in both clinical and community environments. Early on, I founded and developed a nonprofit therapeutic farm, integrating nature‑based interventions into behavioral health treatment. I also spent six years as a foster parent, an experience that deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and family systems—perspectives that continue to inform my clinical approach.

I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to my work, combining strong diagnostic skills with collaborative care to support individuals and families through complex psychiatric and psychosocial challenges.
