Dr. Josh R. Cohen, PhD

My primary specialization is in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, a professional psychological field that combines the core tenets and ethics of clinical psychology with a targeted focus on developmental psychopathology and child/adolescent development. I am a child psychologist and clinical adolescent psychologist who studies the psychological aspects of children and young individuals. Research and practice in Clinical Child Psychology focus on understanding, preventing, detecting, treating, and rehabilitating psychological, cognitive, and emotional issues that affect children. I am particularly interested in the scientific comprehension of fundamental psychological requirements and the impact of family, social, cultural, and environmental variables on the development of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills as well as the health and wellbeing of children and adolescents. A strong empirical research foundation is required to advance the field of clinical child/adolescent psychology. I affirm the importance of the requisite empirical studies to develop and verify evidence-based interventions and evaluations in the discipline.
