Stefani Cohen
Stefani has worked with parents, children and families for over 30 years and have stressed positive parenting strategies. Over the years, she helped fearful kids informally face the fear of dogs and during the last ten or so she formalized a 10 step protocol for cynophobia. A few years ago I put it all into a book . "Overcoming Your Child's Fear of Dogs". In addition to parents, the book is also useful for therapists, dog trainers and anyone wants to feel safer around dogs. Her three hats - psychotherapist, dog lover and parent have come together in her practice helping people of all ages overcome their fear of dogs through exposure therapy using a live dog. Together with canine assistants, she has done presentations for school children and scout troops on humane education, kindness to animals and bite prevention
