Hi I'm Liz! I know that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make it a comfortable one. I’m here to offer a space where you can feel understood, supported, and free to just be yourself. I help individuals who are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficult transitions so they can regain a sense of control, confidence, and calm in their everyday lives. My approach centers on uncovering patterns, improving emotional regulation, and offering strategies that fit your day-to-day life. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and feelings that may be holding you back. I’ll help you build simple, practical tools to manage stress, ease anxiety, improve self-talk, and move through life’s challenges with steadier confidence.
It is not uncommon to feel "trapped" in your own skin and feel out of control. This feeling overflows & disrupts our relationships, work/school, sleep, diet, exercise, finances & life goals. Desperation can cause us to reach for temporary solutions like fad diets, overworking, food restriction, over using substances & unhealthy relationships. You aren't meant to be at war with yourself everyday. Within therapy we will work on managing symptoms, finding the roots of your pain and healing where they originated using "parts" work & memory reconsolidation. I provide a safe place for you to be truly "heard" which is often underestimated. I specialize in disordered eating/body image issues using a HAES (Health at Every Size) approach. I work with people of all sizes as disordered eating does not discriminant. Other areas of specialty include grief, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, anxiety, life changes and hormonal issues. It's common for these struggles to overlap. I understand how difficult it can be finding the "right" therapist. I believe in the power of human connection to be a strong component of therapy. I am humbled everyday by the trust my clients put in me to help them succeed. I offer a free phone consultation to answer any questions you may have which can be scheduled via email. Thank you for your time!
Our practice specializes in treating eating disorders in young adults, offering a compassionate and evidence-based approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). We provide individualized care for clients struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other disordered eating behaviors. We also work with Anxiety and Mood disorders. Clients learn to identify and challenge distorted thoughts around food, body image or other presenting stressors. DBT techniques are used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. The integrative approach supports young adults in developing healthier coping strategies, improving self-esteem, and fostering lasting recovery in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
As humans we all have experiences of feeling stuck, or overwhelmed with life, or even having a loss of direction. This is completely normal, especially in our college years. The good news is, there are some really helpful tools you can learn to navigate through these challenging times, and really discover yourself! You already have the tools within you, my role is to show you how to access them in order to move forward in your life feeling confident and in alignment with your authentic self.
We work with young adults and adults to help them explore their past, present and futures. We will work together to ensure that you take control over any symptoms that are causing you distress. In a confidential and nonjudgmental space, we will uncover your roadblocks, help you get to know yourself better, determine what you want in life and harness your strengths to achieve those goals.

Take heart! I want to say it is our actual, living birthright to heal any disempowering history, whether circumstantial, or chronic. Over the years, students have come with trauma, depression, anxiety, identity and spiritual concerns, academic pressures, relationship, family, and work conflicts - each can begin to shift as we change our familiar thoughts, feelings, and relationship to the past. This is the contract we honor in a therapeutic partnership. I have made it my life's work to train with the originators of powerful techniques engaging the mind, heart, and spirit - from the unconscious to the transpersonal - so that you can step out of your own way, & shift into relief, and resolution! This is the work we have been accomplishing together in therapeutic alliance for 25+ years. The best way to reach me is (845)256-0047.

Hey there! My name is John Cho. I use he/they pronouns. I am a queer Korean-American therapist NJ and NY licensed psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, educator, and consultant who has over a decade of experience. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ people across different intersections of identity and BIPOC clients. My clinical approaches are informed by an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed framework guided by CBT and Emotional-Focused Therapy theoretical orientations. I can work with individuals and couples who are struggling with various issues, including but not limited to: exploring and navigating issues surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity, mood disorders including depression and anxiety, dealing with life transitions, issues surrounding racism, oppression, and identity exploration, substance use, body image issues and recovery from eating disorders.
me: In a relational, humanistic, and conversational style, and through an attachment-oriented lens, I am focused on harnessing the powerful dynamic of the therapeutic relationship, in order to help individuals locate within themselves a sense of meaning and purpose in the here and now. I am focused on developing each client’s ability to maintain internal validity and positive self-regard, in order to reduce self-shame, self-judgement, and self-harm. you: While I work with individual adults of all ages, most of my clients tend to be 25-45, and coming to therapy to work through a variety of human challenges and stressors often associated with complications that occur in the life-stage transitions from adolescence to early adulthood and early adulthood into middle age. For many of us, these life-stage transitions are often extended and/or delayed, leading to feelings of pscyho-emotional paralysis and “stuckness” in repeated patterns of behavior. My practice is also further specialized in working with performing artists and other creative/artistic professionals. The intersectionality of psycho-emotional health and creative identity/artistic process is an area of experience and particular interest to me. Having trained and worked professionally as an actor, prior to earning a master’s degree in clinical social work, I am deeply focused on using the shared language of artistic development to help other artists utilize the many tools and skills they’ve already developed for self-reflection and craft honing as artists, in order to help them create growth, change, and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives. Although many of my clients meet diagnostic criteria for depression, trauma, and anxiety, I aim to see people beyond the diagnosis and view them as the whole human beings they are. us: Together, we will have a meaningful relationship intended to support and foster your personal growth, resilience, healing, and ability to create internal validity, as well as meaning and purpose in the moment. Our relationship exists within the context and framework of weekly, or bi-weekly, 45-minute conversations, focused on examining all aspects of how your pscyho-emotional health and wellbeing correspond to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. No human is broken. We are all operating in the exact way the human system was intended to operate, by adapting; sometimes for the better, and other times to our own detriment. We are all the logical conclusion of the sum of our total experiences. Therefore, we will work jointly to piece together your narrative in a way that connects the total sum of your experiences to your present thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns, in order to learn to move forward, create change, and become the future self that is still yet unrealized.
I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, challenges with emotional regulation, difficulty with relationships, stress and/or trauma. I utilize a person centered approach, but also incorporate different therapeutic techniques depending on the client's interests and what feels clinically appropriate given the person sitting with me.
I specialize in working with young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress. Many are facing academic pressure, social challenges, or life transitions. I provide a supportive space to talk, build skills, and improve well-being. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded and in control of their emotional well-being. I believe meaningful change starts with a strong, trusting relationship. In our early sessions, we’ll focus on building that connection and exploring what works best for you. My approach is eclectic and flexible, drawing from various modalities to meet each client’s unique needs. I am passionate about this work because I believe in the resilience of young people — and I’ve seen how powerful therapy can be when clients feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Supporting people in their most vulnerable moments is an honor, and I deeply value the trust my clients place in me.

I have a virtual private practice although I do see clients in person some Saturday mornings. Based in cognitive behavioral therapy, several years ago I also began working with energy and infuse EFT Tapping into sessions. EFT Tapping for College Students: Feel calmer, think clearer, and stay grounded—one tap at a time. College life can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Between deadlines, exams, social pressure, and figuring out your future, stress can build up fast. EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple, effective tool that helps reduce anxiety, ease emotional tension, and bring your mind back to a calmer state—anytime, anywhere. What Is EFT Tapping? EFT is a gentle method that combines light tapping on specific acupressure points with mindful attention to your thoughts and feelings. It’s easy to learn, takes only a few minutes, and can be done discreetly—even in a dorm room, study hall, or before a big exam. How EFT Can Help You Students use tapping to: Reduce stress before exams or presentations Ease feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or sadness Improve focus and emotional balance Build confidence during demanding times Release tension after a tough day Why It Works Tapping helps calm the body’s stress response, allowing you to shift from “fight-or-flight” mode back into a more relaxed, grounded state. Many students find that even a short session helps them feel lighter, clearer, and more in control. You don’t have to push through stress alone. EFT tapping is a practical, empowering tool you can carry with you through every semester. Whether you’re dealing with academic pressure or navigating emotional ups and downs, tapping can help you reconnect with yourself—and move forward with more ease.
