About This Research

​

Dr. Cohn's scholarship spans over 75 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and presentations, with a focus on three interconnected areas: human sexuality and relationship dynamics, the mental health experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals — particularly those in rural communities — and the ways social marginalization shapes access to psychological care. His work has been published in journals including The Journal of Sex Research, Journal of Lesbian Studies, and Mindfulness, and has informed encyclopedia entries on sexuality and research ethics. Alongside his clinical practice, this research reflects a sustained commitment to evidence-based, culturally responsive psychology.
