REVIEWS Counseling & Therapy
We are grateful for our client reviews:
Gennie is an absolute gem of a couples counselor. Over the past two years, my wife and I have had the privilege of working with her, and I can confidently say that she has been nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to truly listen and understand our struggles has been incredibly comforting. Not only does she offer insightful strategies to tackle our relationship challenges, but she also goes the extra mile by providing practical examples tailored to our daily lives.
What sets Gennie apart is her unwavering dedication to our well-being. She doesn’t just offer cookie-cutter solutions; instead, she customizes her approach based on our unique needs and preferences, making adjustments on the fly based on our feedback. It’s evident that she genuinely cares about us, taking a sincere interest in every aspect of our lives as they continue to evolve.
Detail-oriented, compassionate, and highly skilled, Gennie’s guidance has been nothing short of life-changing. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking support in their relationships or personal growth.
5 stars all the way. To say Genie and Chantel are wonderful would be an understatement. They see extraordinary therapists, they get to know you understand your issues and help guide you through in a new way you never though was possible. They are not only wonderful personal therapists but they were great for couples therapy. A good therapist is hard to find, my wife and I use CWC based in ATL and we are in Arizona, they are that good.
Our journey through a 7-hour intensive session with Chantel was nothing short of extraordinary. Admittedly, I approached the experience with skepticism, unsure of how such an extended session could truly impact our relationship. However, from the outset, Chantel expertly addressed my concerns, with a perfect blend of empathy and expertise.
Chantel’s warm professionalism and personalized approach were evident throughout. What initially seemed like a daunting investment of time transformed into a tailored and well-executed exploration of our relationship dynamics. This level of customization helped us feel seen and heard, paving the way for a remarkably insightful experience.
Chantel demonstrated an exceptional ability to guide us through meaningful conversations, helping us delve into the core issues of our relationship. What truly set this experience apart was the practicality of the advice provided. As someone inherently skeptical of abstract advice, I was impressed by the tangible guidance offered. We received practical tools and coaching to navigate through our differences. It wasn’t just about understanding; it was about implementing real strategies to improve our communication and break free from destructive argument cycles.
As the session unfolded, I found myself not only embracing the process but genuinely grateful for the experience. Chantel’s ability to unravel the complexities of our relationship, coupled with a nuanced understanding of our communication patterns, was truly remarkable. My initial doubt transformed into belief.
In the end, we emerged from the intensive not only closer as a couple but armed with newfound confidence in our ability to navigate challenges. If you find yourself skeptical about the transformative power of a couples intensive, as I once was, I wholeheartedly recommend taking the leap. Chantel turned my skepticism into belief, providing an invaluable experience that exceeded expectations and positively impacted our relationship in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
I’ve been working with Chantel for over a year now and, I have to say, she’s been so integral to how I approach my day-to-day, big decisions, and even the more personal matters that arise with time and Growth.
She’s always looking for ways to add more value to me both as an individual and as a business Leader. The combination of therapy and business coaching has helped me to continue refining and sharpening my mind and my heart with intention.
I met her at the lowest point in my life. I had been through so many traumatic experiences- parental neglect leading to childhood trauma, a messy divorce, and ending up with a child with complex needs. I felt so hopeless. Most of my life has been wasted, I thought. I felt comfortable sharing my messy pasts and mistakes, my thoughts and feelings with her because she was empathic and nonjudgmental. She skillfully guided me through my challenges, helping me develop coping strategies and gain a better understanding of myself. Their insights were invaluable, and I always left each session feeling more empowered and hopeful. I’m grateful for their expertise and support on my journey toward healing and becoming a better version of myself. I am now motivated to help people with similar experiences. Currently, I’m pursuing a Masters degree in Family and Support.
My wife and I have been seeing Chantel for 6 months. And I can’t help but look back in awe at how far myself, my wife and our marriage has come in that time.
Put simply, Chantel is a rock star. She gets results. And what really stands out is the degree in which she cares and how passionate she is about the work she’s doing. It’s really a calling for her.
I can’t recommend Chantel enough and I truly wish every couple could see her. Because there would be a whole lot more communication, understanding and love in the world.
Go see her. It’s the best decision you can possibly make!
My partner and I have been working with Chantel for three years. She has helped us grow our relationship through virtual coaching and therapy.
One thing that has always impressed me about Chantel is how prepared and professional she is. She always takes notes and does not forget details/information. She’s a great listener, which is important when you’re coaching two people simultaneously.
Chantel goes out of her way to make sure that each partner shares their thoughts in conversation. She knows when to push or when to sit back and watch us work through issues with the skills she’s helped us develop.
Chantel is funny and charismatic, which makes a difference for our sessions. She’s caring and shows this through the deep questions she asks about our personal lives and relationship. It didn’t take us long to feel very comfortable with Chantel.
Her advice has guided us through some major life decisions and transitions, such as family deaths and major illnesses, the pandemic, and our engagement. For all of these reasons, I highly recommend Chantel and her team.
I am a family law attorney licensed to practice in the state of Illinois and Georgia. As an attorney it is important for me to refer my clients to ethical practitioners. I send clients to Chantel Cohen who have a change of heart during the divorce process and/or who need additional support while going through the divorce process. Her professionalism, ethics and virtual access makes her an exceptional choice for my Georgia and Illinois clients as she is also dually licensed in both states.

Before I started working with Chantel, I’d worked with a few other therapists. They were really pleasant, but I felt like they didn’t understand my unique circumstances of being a Black woman and a business owner with big dreams. When I told them about my chronic stress and overwhelm, the advice they gave felt in conflict with my goals and aspirations. I actually gave up on the concept of therapy for a while, and took it for granted that feeling anxious all the time (often for no apparent reason) was just how starting a company was supposed to feel like.
And then I met Chantel. Working with Chantel has fundamentally transformed the way I approach my professional and personal life. Not only am I much more resilient to stress, I have identified the patterns in my thinking that lead to me being constantly overwhelmed. With the strategies Chantel has taught me, I’m more productive and I’m happier (and I always thought those two things were mutually exclusive!)
More than anything, I feel genuinely understood by her. She understands the cultural context I come from, my personality quirks and speaks to me in a way that sinks in. I’m so grateful for the time I’ve spent working with Chantel thus far, and I’m excited about making more progress with her in the future!
It was my first time having a life coach and I was blown away by Genie. She was kind, understanding and still pushed me to become the woman that I wanted to be. I appreciate our sessions and highly recommend Genie.
Chantel saved my marriage and changed my life! My husband and I have been seeing her for couples counseling a little over 5 months now and our relationship has drastically changed for the better since then.
Chantel not only creates a safe environment for the two of us to be open and vulnerable, but she also provides us with coaching and gives us tools to use at home to help with communication, which has been a tremendous help.
Every session with Chantel is like a breath of fresh air. And it’s crazy, but during every session she knows exactly where we are at and just somehow knows what we need.
And the thing I appreciate most about Chantel is her understanding between extroversion and introversion. This is something that’s important to me because I’m an introvert and tend to be on the quiet side and let other people drive the conversation. But with Chantel, she’s always making sure that I’m heard and that my needs are being met in the session.
Honestly, there are so many great things about Chantel, but overall she is just a great person who is passionate about what she does and she’s someone I really look forward to seeing and talking with.
UPDATE 2-1-24: I’ve been meeting with Channel off and on for the past 7 years. Since my last review, Chantel has helped me (and is currently helping me again) through two significant losses. Grief and trauma are the hardest things to experience, but Chantel has been my guide and life line giving me the tools to help me process and move through it all. I’m so grateful for her and I don’t know where I’d be without her.
I wish I could have found Chantel years ago. But timing is everything. She was the person I chose out of 3 other highly recommended places of therapy in Atlanta. She called and spoke to me about getting started and I was convinced I had chosen the right person for me after our phone conversation and first session. She has been a huge game changer for my life when it comes to growth and opportunity. In areas that we all fall short, she has been so great at talking me through those areas and helping me to see the great heights that I can reach. I love that she works so well by helping me personally with emotional topics and also in my career. Everyone has to find the right person who fits in the mold of helping to make their lives better. Oprah always says ‘live your best life.’ After months and months of seeing Chantel, I have finally begun that. It is amazing to feel that way. And it takes time. Everyone wants to be understood. But the biggest thing, is that it feels so great to be here putting in the work along side Chantel.
