Greetings! My name is Libby Cox, and I use she/her and they/them pronouns. I was born and raised in rural Pennsylvania and came of age in a WASPy New England household that prized erudition and composure. As the youngest of three, I learned early how to read a room, and how to speak the language of restraint—even when it felt challenging from the inside. My formative experiences gave me sensitivity to nuance, and also taught me how lonely it can feel to perform steadiness without always feeling steady on the inside.

A bit more about me: I am a white, cis-presenting woman in midlife, married and parenting tween twin boys (and three curious cats). My life is an exploration of authenticity, humility, repair, humor, and growth. These identities and relationships inform how I sit with others—with awareness, compassion, accountability, and care.

My early academic training was in studio art and dance at a small liberal arts college in upstate New York. In my last year of undergrad, I found yoga. In 2004, I completed my first yoga teacher training in Austin, Texas, and what began as a personal practice evolved into nearly twenty years of international teaching, retreat leadership, and training other teachers. In 2016, I founded and directed my own yoga teacher training school. Yoga has been one of the most integrated healing modalities I’ve encountered. My work has been shaped by an ongoing dialogue between Eastern contemplative traditions and Western scientific inquiry, as well as ethical commitments to trauma-informed practice and the decolonization of yoga. This background deeply informs how I practice psychotherapy today.

As a therapist, I specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic movement, self-compassion practices, and trauma-informed care. I believe that healing is not just cognitive—it is relational and embodied. Our stories live in our tissues and nervous systems as much as in our thoughts and emotions. In our work together, you can expect attention not only to what you say, but to what your body communicates: shifts in breath, posture, sensation, energy.

When working with me, clients often experience:

• A grounded, direct, and compassionate presence

• Deep curiosity without judgment 

• Warmth and structure, with emphasis on naming what is here, even when it feels tender or uncomfortable—while maintaining clear, ethical boundaries that foster safety

• Space for complexity rather than pressure for quick fixes

I approach therapy from the understanding that there’s no part of you that’s not welcome in the room. We are each multidimensional beings. Rather than pathologizing your symptoms, we will explore them as intelligent adaptations. My hope is that you will feel accompanied—not analyzed—and that our work will foster greater inner trust, clarity, and access to inner resources.

I work with individuals, partners, and families, holding awareness of the larger systems that shape us: family of origin, culture, race, gender, power, and history. In the seat of a therapist, I sit aware that our lives are complex and relational. My intention is to offer a space where you can soften your armor, expand your capacity, and cultivate resilience that feels authentic. My hope is that therapy with me fosters greater awareness of self, others and the planet, and of internal trust, and an unabashed sense of self—so you can move through your life with more clarity, fluency and steadiness.
