Clinical Services & Coaching Since 1978 the Coche Center, LLC, has provided state of the art clinical care to individuals, couples, and families. Our services include psychotherapy, coaching, assessment.
Psychotherapy is a clinical service in which individuals, couples, and families are able to reach personal and interpersonal goals in order to live optimal lives. The therapist acts a catalyst enabling client change through theoretical research and practice. Problems are psychological in nature often targeting an increased sense in well-being. Psychotherapy is done in person with very little long distance work.
Coaching work aims to support an individual through the process of achieving a specific personal or professional goal. Coaching is performed with individuals, groups, and families in person or by phone. It is easy to participate in coaching by phone to accommodate long distance clients.

Psychotherapy & Coaching for Individuals
Services for individuals can include one on one sessions or a mixture of individual sessions and participation in a group sessions. We work with each client to develop a personal treatment plan aimed at understanding their weaknesses and emphasizing their strengths. In addition to regular sessions, this can include consultations with psychiatrists, medication reviews, and psychological testing assessment. The center offers both short and long terms groups for individuals. We have a tradition of excellence at the center in group therapy services as well group training, which brings clients from near and far to participate in the group experience.

Couples and families come from all over to heal the painful issues that have come between them.

E-Consultation & Phone Coaching
Life coaching is personal coaching to maximize life goals. Clinical Psychologists are uniquely trained to offer life coaching, and we do. When needed we integrate the work with highly trained specialists in focused areas like financial planning and learning skills.
Recent advances in the use of electronic technology in mental health service delivery has enabled clients from all over the world to become part of the Coche Center community. After an initial in person consultation in one of our office locations, appointments can be structured combining phone and/or Skype services as well as brief email correspondence. The combination integrates convenience with current treatment approaches, creating an efficient and accessible treatment package. Long distance clients benefit from this approach to treatment: Combining long distance email and phone consults with onsite clinical work has enabled clients to meet infrequently but still maximize their goals.
Destination Psychotherapy
For twenty-five years the Coche Center has offered short intense bursts of personal and interpersonal work to create optimal lives for individuals, couples, and families. Frequent destinations include major cities (New York, San Francisco), and vacation spots (Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cape Cod). Because our office locations provide attractive travel destinations, clients also choose to enjoy the recreation in Cape May County, NJ and Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia while simultaneously achieving long sought after personal and interpersonal life goals. Unlike traditional weekly psychotherapy, destination work provides an intense period of change within a short period of time. Clients find this opportunity refreshing and stimulating.
-Couples find that a few days of intense work is often more effective and efficient than frequent short visits within a typical office setting.
-Families of high net worth often gather from around the world, over-nighting in local resorts and hotels, to think through the philosophy and complexity of their family legacy.

Our areas of expertise create a solid foundation for families who want to think through the meaning of money, educate their children to become responsible adults, and integrate the complex interplay of factors when couples from different backgrounds marry. Educational coaching combines with deeper psychotherapy to create a philosophy which enables ongoing benefit from earned and inherited assets. At the Coche Center, the greatest asset is interpersonal.

Clinical Consultation on Dogs as Therapeutic Assistants
Since 1985, a therapy dog has been part of the clinical team at the Coche Center, L.L.C. Pioneering the use of a dog as an ongoing presence in a clinical psychology practice, Dr. Coche and her dogs, Spinnaker and Whitby, have created an atmosphere of accessibility, warmth, and authenticity. These dogs are seen as a combination of mascot and clinician by children, adolescents, and adults. As an official greeter, a well behaved dog customarily lounges in the waiting room to welcome clients. In the treatment room, a dog is present (unless a client has a preference to the contrary) to help comfort upset clients and lighten heavy moments that are customarily part of psychotherapy. Clients look forward to this gentle presence and request attendence should the dog be absent on a given day. After ten years of experience working with therapy dogs, Dr. Coche began to write and train colleagues to use their dogs as part of their clinical practices. With Whitby, a Portuguese Water Dog, Dr. Coche, gives lectures in graduate psychology and has written book chapters and articles on this topic. She currently acts as a consultant when requested.
