About Hope Choman
Trauma and grief therapy are central to my work.
My understanding of people has been shaped by working alongside them during some of the most challenging and uncertain times in their lives.
My experience in community mental health and hospital-based oncology and palliative care gave me the opportunity to support people through grief, chronic illness, caregiving, trauma, emotionally difficult or abusive relationships, and significant life changes. That work deepened my understanding of what it can be like when the people or systems around you don't always recognize or support what you're experiencing.
Those experiences continue to shape the way I listen, the questions I ask, and how I work alongside each person who comes to therapy.
I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout New York and Connecticut. My clients come to therapy for many different reasons, but often share a desire to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the experiences that continue to shape their lives.
Working Together
Therapy with me is collaborative and active. I listen closely, ask questions, offer perspective, and help you make connections that may not always be easy to see on your own. As we work together, we'll pay attention to what's happening now, what may be contributing to it, and what you would like to change.
I integrate different therapeutic approaches based on your experiences, needs, and goals. My work includes EMDR therapy, relational therapy, mindfulness, and somatic approaches. Together, we may explore patterns and relationships, process difficult or traumatic experiences, or develop different ways of responding to what you're facing now.
See If We’re a Good Fit
A consultation is an opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.
If you’re considering therapy, I’d be glad to connect.
