Meet Antonio
Hi! My name is Antonio Rudo and I am a psychotherapist at Anchor Therapy in downtown Hoboken, New Jersey. I not only provide in-person sessions, but I also provide the flexibility of virtual therapy sessions to residents of New Jersey and Florida. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, certified in EMDR, trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Approved Clinical Supervisor. I have 15+ years of experience providing individual, couples, and family therapy to teens, adults, and couples of various ages, backgrounds, issues, and stages of recovery in community-based mental health centers and hospital settings. Now, I'm here to help you.
Change can be scary, even when it's good. My goal is to help you find your path, build your confidence, enhance your well-being, and achieve your goals. I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach that focuses on the skills you already possess while identifying and harnessing new skills.
I have significant experience treating young adults and adults trying to navigate the challenges life presents while exploring their identities. I specialize in helping people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, and life transitions using cognitive-behavioral (CBT), EMDR, solution-focused, and person-centered therapy. I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs and preferences. I believe in the power of empathy and understanding, and I strive to build a strong rapport with my clients based on trust and mutual respect.
If you're ready to begin your journey, I'll be here to support you along the way.
Fun facts about me: I love animals! Sushi is my favorite food. I enjoy drawing, going to shows, karaoke, and singing (badly). As you may be able to tell, humor is an important form of self-care for me. I am also proud to be part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Approaches I use
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
I'll help you see how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors reinforce each other, then work with you to change the patterns that keep you stuck.
EMDR
When past trauma leaves you feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I'll guide you through EMDR at your pace so painful memories start to feel more manageable.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
If you and your partner keep landing in the same argument, we'll slow those moments down, reach the softer feelings underneath, and rebuild trust between you.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
Together, we'll build awareness of your thoughts and feelings in the present moment, without judgment, so you can find a greater sense of inner peace.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)
When rigid, unhelpful beliefs fuel stress or self-doubt, I'll help you question them and respond to setbacks in healthier ways.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Building on the strengths you already have, we'll focus on practical steps toward the change you're looking for.

Start your first session
Antonio will learn about what's going on, your goals, and your history. For teens under 18, a parent or guardian joins the first session. From there, you'll work together toward feeling lighter and steadier, more connected in your relationship, and helping your teen feel more confident and like themselves again.
