Brooklyn Tesla Vandalism Suspect Is a Licensed Mental Health TherapistLowell Cauffiel 19 Apr 2025
As a licensed counselor and therapist helping to keep criminal offenders out of prison, a Brooklyn woman accused of trashing a parked Tesla may need some of her own professional expertise.
According to the New York Post, 46-year old Natasha Cohen was arraigned last Saturday and released on her own recognizance after an April 7 surveillance video allegedly showed her dumping a bag of garbage onto a Cybertruck. The bag included a brick scrawled with a swastika and the word “Nazi.”

Every time I see those cars, I see Elon Musk saluting the country as a Nazi. I made a mistake because I’m basically living in terror every day that the country is turning into Nazi Germany. I’m truly terrified because Elon was unelected and they’re deporting migrants without a trial.
The Post reports that Cohen has had a private counselling practice working with children, adolescents, and their families for more than two decades. In 2015, she also worked with the Kings County Re-Entry Task Force along with the Bureau of Youth Diversion and Initiatives to place offenders in diversion programs. Diversion is a criminal court practice where an offender is put on probation and — if he or she successfully completes probation without re-offending — has charges dismissed and avoids a permanent criminal record.
An online profile states, “Carrie Cohen, MSW, LCSW,” has advanced training in maternal mental health. “MSW” and “LCSW” denote that Cohen is licensed in clinical social work. She also sells therapy worksheets and resources online for children with ADHD, body dysmorphia issues, and anxiety.
