I am a licensed Creative Arts Psychotherapist in private practice in NY and serve anyone based in New York State.
I have over 25 years of clinical experiences in treating culturally diverse clients. My immigration and bicultural experiences as an Asian-American have given a keen awareness of how our intersectional identities influence our perception of ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we navigate the broader world.
I draw from various therapeutic disciplines: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy; AEDP; Attachment-Focused EMDR; IFS; Somatic Psychotherapy; Mindfulness-based Therapy; Couples/Family Therapy, and Art Therapy.

I am a NY-based bilingual (English & Spanish) licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years' clinical experience working with adolescents and adults from various backgrounds and cultures. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from New York University and have completed extensive training in several evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Functional Family Therapy (FFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Through a psychodynamic psychotherapy approach, I strive to provide a warm and open environment that promotes curiosity and growth. Seeking therapy takes real courage. Relationships change, self-esteem wavers, bodies transform, unforeseen social and cultural events occur that place us in uncharted waters, and life turns inexplicably uncertain. Whatever the reason, therapy is a unique opportunity to examine internal and relational conflicts, tease out unhelpful thoughts and deepen your understanding of yourself in ways that foster empowerment, vitality, and creativity.

Kimberly Christopher, LCSW, is a New York City-based licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience offering depth-oriented, integrative psychotherapy for individuals and couples throughout New York State via telehealth.
Her clinical work spans a broad range of presentations — including trauma and PTSD, anxiety and mood disorders, burnout, complex relational patterns, narcissistic abuse recovery, and the psychological dimensions of major life transitions. She has particular expertise in the intersection of hormonal change and mental health, supporting women navigating the emotional, neurobiological, and identity shifts that accompany perimenopause and midlife — an area that remains significantly underserved in standard mental health care.
Kimberly's approach is integrative and neuroscience-informed, drawing from psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR therapy, somatic modalities, and attachment-based frameworks. Her work moves beyond insight and coping strategies to address patterns held within the nervous system — supporting change that is felt as well as understood.
She holds a graduate degree from New York University, completed with high honors, and has trained in EMDR through an EMDRIA-approved program. Her practice, Integrative Therapy NY, is a boutique private practice based in Manhattan offering individualized, concierge-level care for high-functioning adults and couples.

Working with presence and a here-and-now framework, I view therapy as a collaborative process.
Approaching each person’s process with deep respect, I believe that we all carry our own answers within.
Together, we will deepen awareness around what might be affecting your day-to-day peace of mind and happiness.
