Dr. Cho was born and raised in South Korea. She moved to the U.S at age 14, and attended boarding school in Michigan. It is from her own experience as a “parachute child” and an international student as an adolescent that Dr. Cho developed her interest in working with Asian American children and Asian international students. She is particularly interested in helping the Asian parents and their children understand each other better and cultivate stronger bonds by bridging the cultural, generational, and language gap. Before moving to the Pacific Northwest, she worked at a free mental health clinic called Hope Clinic for under-served Korean Americans in the Washington DC Area, and she has also worked with the Korean Community Service Center of Greater Washington to promote mental health care for Korean Americans children in the area. She is a co-founder and Chair of the Asian Caucus of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. She currently works as the leading psychiatrist for Cultivate Psychiatry - a telepsychiatry practice that focuses on children and families of diverse backgrounds.
