The Brooklyn woman accused of leaving a brick scrawled with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a parked Tesla is a super-woke family therapist who was involved in criminal justice diversion programs — and blamed Elon Musk for her heinous actions as she was taken into custody.
Natasha Cohen was released on her own recognizance following her arraignment on hate-crime charges Saturday night, according to prosecutors.
Cohen, 46, has a private practice, working with children, adolescents and their families for more than two decades.
She has advanced training in maternal mental health, according to an online profile, and currently sells different therapy worksheets and resources online for parents of children with ADHD, body dysmorphia issues, and anxiety.
In 2015, she also helped young offenders as part of the Kings County Re-Entry Task Force, working in tandem with the Bureau of Youth Diversion and Initiatives to keep criminals out of prison.
Several of Cohen’s social media posts are critical of President Trump. Recently, she posted a meme claiming President’s Day was canceled “until we get a real one.” The day after Trump’s victory, she posted a photo of a memorial candle.
Cops have alleged Cohen not only left the brick on the windshield of a Cybertruck parked on Ditmas Avenue, in what is largely a Jewish neighborhood, but she also dumped a bag of trash on the car.
Surveillance cameras caught Cohen in the act, police said.
“Every time I see those cars, I see Elon Musk saluting the country as a Nazi,” Cohen told police at the time of her April 12 arrest, according to a copy of the criminal complaint, obtained by The Post.
“I made a mistake because I’m basically living in terror every day that the country is turning into Nazi Germany,” Cohen continued, according to cops. “I’m truly terrified because Elon was unelected and they’re deporting migrants without a trial.”
Cohen’s neighbors were shocked by the allegations.
“That’s crazy,” said one, asking to remain anonymous. “I feel like the world needs less of that crap right now.”
Said another neighbor: “Who does something like that?”
Cohen, who also goes by Carrie, was spotted outside her luxury Kensington apartment building on Tuesday, wearing sunglasses and an oversized hoodie.
She tried ducking Post cameras as she and her teen son shuffled inside the building — where apartments are priced between $780,000 and $1.1 million and feature spacious patios and private backyards.
Cohen would only say, “No comment” as a Post reporter approached her.
Cohen’s alleged crimes are the latest in a spate of attacks targeting Tesla owners and dealerships across the country, in the wake of the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency’s pledge to identify and stamp out waste on the federal level.
On March 27, two vandals were caught on video brazenly carving a swastika and the word “Nazis” on the side of a Cybertruck parked on Monroe Street in Bed-Stuy. No arrests have been made in that incident.
