Dr. Dan Booth Cohen helps people find their own way to healing. Whether you have relationship difficulties, struggle with depression or addiction, or have a child that seems burdened with hardship, Dan can help lighten the load. He uses
an emotionally grounded and deeply profound European approach for resolving difficult and impacted personal problems. Best known as a
Systemic Family Constellation,
this nearly-silent process reveals a forgotten source - and a healing solution - for pressing emotional or relationship difficulties.
We think of ourselves as individuals who have problems, not recognizing how we mindlessly repeat the grief, guilt and aggression
that runs through our families. Dan brings intuition, knowledge, and compassion to heal old wounds that influence on our thoughts, feelings and actions.

Grandparents Leave Behind Unresolved Wounds and Traumas
A Constellation begins with a pressing personal issue. In less than an hour, the process reveals something essential that is immediately understood.
The experience provides life-changing insight into the hidden roots of depression, addiction, sibling estrangements, money problems, child custody conflicts, and chronic loneliness. Constellations are especially effective when the circumstances of your problems change, but the fundamental pattern remains the same. It's not about changing what you think. A Constellation heals a part of the wounded Self that "thinks you."
About 80% of participants report afterwards that the issue has eased or even resolved completely. Full resolution of a particular issue can take months
to unfold, but the release itself occurs in a
profound moment of insight. Despite years of sorrow and pain, a broken heart can heal in one beat.
Originally, psychology meant "knowledge of the soul." Today, the majority of professional therapists work with cognitive, behavioral, or interpersonal techniques, often in combination with chemical pharmaceuticals. Constellations are difficult to describe because they are draw from roots which contemporary psychology has largely abandoned. The process works without words to repair broken heart connections. They open the door of compassion to whoever has been cast out. They are not a substitute or alternative to professional care, but they do reach a place in the unconscious mind that is ordinarily hidden.
Dan works with Constellation in groups, individual sessions, and by telephone. Please feel free to email Dan with questions or to schedule an individual session. I ask $100/hour for individual work and $150 for a Constellation in a group.
Even the Most Serious Problems Contains a Hidden Solution
Dan uses his experience, skill, and intuition to help you reach the love that is at the core of every tragedy. Once you make contact with this love, it is yours to keep. It will slowly ease your burden and guide you towards growth and fulfillment.
Each Constellation begins with the premise that when someone says, “I have a problem that I cannot overcome,” the frame of the problem is too small to contain the solution. Constellations widen the frame by asking, “Whose problem was it before it was yours?” Beyond the oft-told story of what happened and who is to blame there is an invisible connection with injuries and losses that pre-date your own birth. When you see, understand, and accept the connection, your own inner guidance is transformed. People immediately feel lighter and freer to solve the problem on their own.
About Dan and Constellations
Dan Booth Cohen brings more than 30 years of experience in the art of peacemaking to each Constellation. As a desendant of Jewish grandparents who survived extreme trauma and tragic loses, Dan keeps a clear intention and an open heart in when in contact with the most difficult and painful situations. You will be safe by his side as he guides you through to a better place.
For 30 years, Dan has pursued two complementary careers: one as a business owner and the second as a peacemaker. In 1980, he provided strategic planning services to the Director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the fourth lineal successor to J. Robert Oppenheimer. He witnessed firsthand an organization charged with manufacturing weapons of mass annihilation within a culture that enforced a strict taboo of silence regarding how those weapons might be used. The following year, he became a founding member of the City of Cambridge Peace Commission. Later, he volunteered as Co-Director of the Boston chapter of Children of War, lived in Germany and Palestine, and led and organized numerous peace-oriented events and exchanges.
He came to become a Constellations facilitator and Ph.D. after two decades of experience with programs relying largely on education, dialogue, spiritual development, emotional literacy, and cognitive awareness. It became clear to him that there was an important tool missing from the peacemaker’s toolkit. Whether the conflict is between ethnic groups, lovers, or aspects of the Self, people need a more effective way to uncover and resolve unconscious feelings and impulses that persist below the surface of awareness.
Dan Booth Cohen received a Ph.D. from Saybrook Graduate School. He trained directly with Bert Hellinger and many of the world’s foremost practitioners of Systemic Constellations including Gunthard Weber, Hunter Beaumont, Albrecht Mahr, Eva Madelung, Jacob Schneider, Francesca Mason Boring, Harald Hohnen and Stephan Hausner.
Dan is not licensed to practice psychology in Massachusetts. Constellations are a systemic process. They are not a diagnostic or treatment method for any psycholological condition or disorder. Please consult a licensed professional if you require such servces.
The Constellation process was refined by the German-born Bert Hellinger (b. 1925), who lived for 16 years with the Zulus of South Africa. Today, thousands of practitioners worldwide are adapting and expanding the Constellation experience.
