Biography for Melany Cohen, CHt

Melany has always been driven by a strong sense of fairness and balance. While pursuing a demanding career as a victims' rights attorney, Melany encountered stresses that led her to seek out alternative remedies.

After completing a year of studies at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute and receiving her degree in hypnotherapy, Melany opened her own private practice. Since starting her practice, she has taken great pleasure in the opportunity to serve her clients in a way that incorporates her diverse background and skills.

In serving her clients, Melany consistently draws upon her experience representing trauma victims as well as her experience representing parents and children in legal divorce proceedings.
