About
Drawing on decades of professional clinical expertise and real-life parenting experience, I help families navigate the challenges of raising young children.
Ruth G. Cohen
Throughout my career as a pediatric occupational therapist, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with hundreds of parents and caregivers - offering guidance, encouragement, and practical tools to help children thrive.
​
For over 20 years, my work has focused primarily on early intervention, meeting families in their homes, childcare centers, and community settings. I’ve also worked in public schools and clinical environments, including an ABA clinic supporting neurodivergent children and teens on the autism spectrum.
​
One thing I’ve learned is this:
Every child is different - and every parent deserves support that’s grounded in understanding, respect, and real-life practicality.
​
Whether you're navigating early milestones, managing challenging behaviors, questioning next steps, or just wondering “Is this normal?” I’m here to help.
What I Offer
​​
-
Compassionate, judgment-free guidance
-
Practical strategies that fit your values and daily routines
-
A collaborative approach centered on your child’s unique strengths and needs
-
Support rooted in professional expertise and real-world parenting experience
​
I’ve Helped Parents Like You Who Are Asking:
-
“Why is bedtime such a struggle?”
-
“How can I make tummy time more pleasant?”
-
“Which toys and activities are appropriate for this stage of development?”
-
“Should my child be walking by now?”
-
“How can I teach my baby to self-soothe?”
-
“Why is this child so different from my first?”
-
“How do I handle picky eating?”
Whether you’re a first-time parent or an experienced caregiver facing new challenges, you’re not alone - and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
​​​​
As the mom of three kids, I know how humbling, overwhelming, and exhausting parenting can be.
​
The strategies I share aren’t just backed by clinical knowledge - they’re shaped by lived parenting experience.
I know what it’s like to juggle busy schedules, messy mealtimes, and big feelings (yours and theirs).
​
I bring empathy, humor, and honesty into every conversation.
I'm a Parent Too
It Takes a Village
You’ve probably heard, “It takes a village to raise a child.”
But where’s the website for that village?
Well... here it is. 🧡
