Be Well

Business owners and other professionals lead very busy lives, whether they pursue careers as lawyers, executives, doctors, entrepreneurs or work in some other professional capacity. Unfortunately, such focused and fast-paced living sometimes leads to emotional stress or physical health challenges. Even so, helpful solutions are always available, and who would not welcome an easier, more enjoyable life?

For this reason, on our Lawyers Success website, we have included articles about wellness. Our purpose is to provide information that professionals may find useful to enhance their lives and restore balance. Our wellness articles range from discussing therapeutic approaches based on changing emotional or mental perspectives to nutritional facts that can lead to greater physical well-being.

We hope this information makes life a little easier and more rewarding.

Alan Cohen

LCSW, BCD, LP
Practicing Psychotherapy for 40 years.

We strive, with every client, to help you identify the ways that you are (or are not) living in the present. We believe that everyone seeks a sense of wholeness, and that this feeling of wholeness is what people associate with being alive or being human. Often, though, people revert to old patterns, stories and structures that interrupt their ability to be present, and accordingly, to feel a sense of wholeness.

MSW, LCSW, ACSW, BCD, LP Washington University in St Louis. Alan’s interest in Gestalt therapy coincides with his 45 years of meditation practice. He studied with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi over the course of four years, before beginning his post graduate training in Gestalt therapy. “I see the two approaches as complementing and supporting each other in their focus on awareness, the present moment, and acceptance of what is, as the basis of moving into the next moment. I am particularly interested in the curative and healing value of one’s own presence.”
