Ivy Chim

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I'm Ivy Chim, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and somatic trauma therapist based in Brooklyn, NY. I specialize in complex trauma and childhood sexual abuse, working with women who are self-aware, have often tried therapy before, and are still finding themselves stuck in the same patterns, the same relationships, the same loneliness. My approach is somatic and relational, working with the whole person, not just their thoughts, because the body holds what the mind has tried to outrun. I follow the pace of your nervous system, building safety first, then going to the places that have never felt safe enough to visit. I trained in Somatic Experiencing, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Imago Relationship Therapy, therapeutic yoga, and breathwork. I offer individual therapy and intensive work for women ready to stop surviving and start living.

Karen Gelder

Psychologist, Ph.D., Ed.M., M.A.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of disordered eating and body image concerns, as well as issues related to women's health, pregnancy, miscarriage, and adjustment to significant life transitions such as parenthood, work-family balance, college, career change, and loss. I believe a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship is essential in the facilitation of healing, and the process of growth and change. I employ an integrative method, drawing from various theoretical understandings and treatment modalities, to develop an effective approach to address distinct needs.
Additionally, I believe the consideration of multicultural and social factors to be central to the understanding of individual concerns. My style is warm and engaged, aimed at both reducing symptoms and increasing insight into interpersonal patterns, and past influences on current functioning.
As a native Spanish speaker, I also bring extensive experience working bilingually in hospital, college, and private practice settings. In addition to individual psychotherapy, I offer consultation to parents and families on various topics related to child and adolescent development, preparing for the transition to college, and eating and body image concerns.
