Curbie Oestreich Cohen
I provide evidence-based therapy to my clients using CBT, DBT, PEERS and ACT, tailored to your unique needs. I can work collaboratively with families, parents, and siblings to better understand challenges within family systems. We can work together to help build more effective and supportive patterns so you can achieve your goals.
My Practice
In addition to my private practice, Talk and Tails, I am the School Groups Coordinator and a staff psychotherapist at the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Community Counseling Center (LMCCC). I lead social skills groups and skills-based classes at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
I have received post-graduate training in the following evidence based practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and PEERS (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills).
My Background
Prior to working at the Center, I provided Special Instruction therapy to preschool-aged children in both home and school settings. My work focused on supporting developmental and social-emotional growth through play-based interventions, and I collaborated closely with families, teachers, and related providers to support each child’s progress across environments.
​
I earned my M.S.W. from Fordham University and a B.A. in Art History from Skidmore College.
​
In case you are curious, my given name is Caren. Curbie is my nickname, my grandmother was the only person who has ever called me Caren!

Animal Assisted Therapy
I am also a member Pet Partners, as a certified volunteer with my black lab, Fusilli. We visit local schools, and he loves to join me in sessions. Working alongside him brings me immense joy and fulfillment.
