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.
