Team
Rachel Cohen, MS.Ed., LMHC-D
Rachel holds a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College and helps adults navigate trauma, anxiety, relationships, and life's complexities. She is trained in EMDR therapy through The Center for Excellence and integrates this approach with traditional talk therapy.
Rachel's approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in genuine connection. She brings humor, curiosity, and lightheartedness into her work, while also making space for deeper exploration. She loves internet humor, and keeping up with the ever-changing ways we communicate. Clients often describe her as kind, funny, welcoming, and nonjudgmental.
One phrase that guides her work is "There is no should or shouldn't, there's just what is." She believes therapy is less about what we should be doing and more about understanding ourselves, finding acceptance, and making room for growth.
Rooted Psychotherapy reflects her belief that healing happens when we feel grounded, connected, and supported. Her approach is trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and tailored to each person's individual needs and pace.
Shoshanna Tokar, M.S., MHC-LP
Shoshanna believes therapy should feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without pressure, expectations, or judgment. Her approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, blending thoughtful exploration with practical tools to help you better understand yourself, navigate challenges, and feel more confident moving forward.
Recognizing that no two people are alike, Shoshanna tailors her approach to each client's needs, drawing from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness. She values genuine connection, curiosity, and creating a therapeutic relationship where clients feel truly heard and understood. Her approach is trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming
Shoshanna earned her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Adelphi University and her Bachelor’s in Psychology from Syracuse University.
Shoshanna is currently welcoming new clients!
Therapy Styles offered at Rooted
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based therapy used to help people process and heal from trauma, distressing life experiences, and anxiety.
We’ll use bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to reprocess painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity—allowing you to move forward with more ease and confidence.
IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a therapeutic approach that helps us better understand the different sides of ourselves. You might notice a part of you that feels anxious, another that is self-critical, or one that tries to protect you from getting hurt. IFS helps us explore these parts with curiosity and compassion, understand where they come from, and heal the experiences that shaped them.
Ideal for: PTSD, anxiety, childhood trauma, emotional abuse, and complex grief.
Talk therapy, CBT, and DBT provides a space for self-exploration, skill-building, and emotional support. You’ll gain insights, acquire coping skills and tools, as well as deepen your connection to yourself.
Areas of focus include:
Anxiety and overwhelming thoughts
OCD and intrusive thoughts
Self-worth and identity
Relationship patterns
Life transitions and stress management
