Ruth Cohn is a Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist living in San Francisco,
CA. She has specialized in working with trauma survivors
and their intimate partners and families since 1987. In
1997 she developed a special interest in working with
couples. Largely from her own marriage, she discovered
that the intimate partnership takes people to depths in
themselves beyond what they can get to any other way.
It can also be a vehicle for perhaps the most profound
healing imaginable. Inspired, she began to evolve this
theory and practice of working with couples who have histories
of trauma and neglect.
Ruth is trained in Harville Hendrix’s Imago Relationship
Therapy, which is an important component of her work. Because trauma is so much an
experience of the nervous system and the entire body,
she became an impassioned student of brain science,
the body psychotherapies and neurofeedback, which also strongly influence
her thinking and practice. She loves working with couples
and sustains great hope and optimism about the potential
for healing both intimacy and sexuality.
