William Hagee

Clinical Social Work/Therapist

I am a licensed psychotherapist and trauma therapist serving clients in-person in NYC, and virtually in New York State and Connecticut. I work with individuals and couples who want to break cycles of intense emotional reactivity that can include: aggressive acting out (openly or in secret), infidelity, uncontrollable floods of tears or fits of rage, dissociation, or complete shutdowns. I use an eclectic and relational approach where I draw from EFT, IFS, and EMDR. I work well with those who crave authenticity, want to be "called out", and need to be sure they won't be judged.

Kimberly Christopher, LCSW

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW

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.

Laura B. Kestemberg

Psychologist, Ph.D.

My career in mental health as a licensed psychologist spans more than 25 years and includes various professional roles which include running my private practice, working as a university professor, and at different points, as a clinician, clinical supervisor or director in various NYC hospitals, schools, and community clinics. My professional background of direct service, scholarly work, and teaching at the graduate and doctoral level has given me a well-rounded perspective when working alongside my patients. I feel fortunate that due to my training I can provide the most effective, cutting edge, and evidence-based techniques to my patients. I work hard to empower individuals to effectively reach their goals and gain insight into what is most concerning them. On a personal level, I am multilingual and multicultural, and I often work with clients who are navigating the intersections of their various identities related to their family of origin, culture, and religion, as well as their race, gender and sexual identity. My style is warm, down-to-earth, direct and interactive. I work with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages, either in person or through virtual sessions. I work with couples as well as individuals.
