I have been so happy working with the team at Mission Wealth. As I was going through big transitions, and trying to align my financial plan with my goals and life, our work together has given me great peace of mind. That someone had my back. And that "I was on the right path" - these simple words, coming from a trusted partner, have helped me immensely!

As a Behavioral Wealth Specialist, Cohen is often brought into conversations when a financial decision also involves emotions, relationships, family dynamics, or a significant life change. She helps clients slow down complex decisions, better understand how their experiences and relationship with money may be shaping their choices, and identify practical next steps within the broader financial plan.

I love working as a thought partner with clients and advisors in navigating the behavioral dynamics of wealth and life transitions, fostering greater alignment and connection to well-being.

Cohen’s Frequently Asked Questions

What can Cohen help me address that a traditional financial plan may not?

A financial plan can tell you whether you can retire, but it may not prepare you for the emotional transition into retirement. It can recommend an estate plan, but it does not necessarily help a family have difficult conversations about legacy. It can model different scenarios during market volatility, but those numbers alone may not resolve the fear or uncertainty involved. Cohen helps clients address these human aspects of wealth so they are better equipped to make and implement important financial decisions.

What is a Behavioral Wealth Specialist?

A Behavioral Wealth Specialist focuses on the personal factors that can affect financial planning, including emotions, behaviors, relationships, and life experiences. Working alongside your wealth advisor, Cohen helps bring these considerations into the planning process so decisions are financially sound, personally meaningful, and practical to put into action.

How do I know whether working with a Behavioral Wealth Specialist could be helpful for me or my family?

Behavioral wealth support can be valuable anytime money intersects with emotions, relationships, or major life decisions. This may include preparing for a major life transition, navigating family conversations about wealth, making a difficult or emotionally charged decision, or better understanding how your relationship with money may be shaping your choices.

Is behavioral wealth support the same as therapy?

What should I expect when I first meet with Cohen?

Your first meeting is an opportunity for Cohen to get to know you beyond your financial picture, understand what you would like to discuss, and explore what you hope to gain from the conversation. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out or share more than feels comfortable. Together, you will clarify what matters most, identify practical next steps, and determine how Cohen and your wealth advisor can best support you.
