Dr. Tracy Cohn, Ph.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Professor of Psychology, Blacksburg, Virginia

​​

Clinical Rigor. Strategic Depth.

​

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (LCP, PhD) and university professor based in Blacksburg, Virginia. My work sits at the intersection of clinical expertise, empirical research, and organizational strategy. Whether I'm working with a high-achieving individual in psychotherapy or a corporation in consultation, my focus is the same: intentional growth and behavioral mastery, built through deliberate, sustained change.​

​

• Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, University of Kansas (2007), with a specialized focus on human sexuality

​

Clinical Practice: High-Functioning Care

​​

My psychotherapy practice is built for high-achieving adults and couples navigating demanding careers, complex identities, and relationships that don't fit a standard mold. I help clients see the long-standing patterns and blind spots that quietly shape their performance, their intimacy, and the decisions they make.

​

Specialized Focus Areas:

• Relational Dynamics — Affirmative care for LGBTQ+ individuals, consensual non-monogamy, and kink-informed relational dynamics

• Insight-Driven Growth — Grounded in psychodynamic theory, examining how formative experiences shape present relational and professional functioning

• Complex Identity & Wellness — Work with high-achieving individuals experiencing anxiety, burnout, or identity complexity

​

Academic Leadership & Research

​

As a professor of psychology, I help train the next generation of mental health professionals. My current research examines the interplay between human sexuality, public policy, and conflict resolution in close relationships — work that directly informs how I practice.​

​

Business Consultation & Strategy

​

Since 2008, I've partnered with organizations — from early-stage startups to large corporations — on the human side of business: productivity, employee engagement, and building leadership teams and cultures that hold up under pressure.
