Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I am a trauma-informed therapist certified in CPT for PTSD and in DBT for private practitioners. While I tend to utilize a DBT-informed approach most frequently I am also influenced by Somatic Experiencing Therapy and mindfulness more generally. I am licensed in NY and MD and currently do not have a waiting list. I used to run a comprehensive, team-based medicaid funded mental health program for those with serious mental illness so I am experienced with voice hearers, vision seers, and those with delusions.

With specialized training through PSI I am uniquely equipped for issues surrounding anxiety, depression, low self esteem, family conflicts as well as individual struggles.
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, , CSAT, EMDR
I am the founder of The Center for Intimacy Recovery which focuses primarily on intimacy and relationships. What I have found is that without a sense of intimacy with oneself, people can’t fully experience intimacy with someone else. Our hearts are fragile, so we develop strategies to keep them safe and avoid getting hurt. Often, these strategies later become maladaptive and hold us back from achieving the connection and intimacy we are actually seeking. The Center for Intimacy Recovery helps clients to find ways to have the intimacy and connection in life that they are seeking. To gain a better understanding around healthy sexuality and treatment for compulsive and destructive sexual behaviors and the trauma created through intimate betrayal, have studied at the Modern Sex Therapy Institute where I have studied healthy sexuality. I have also studied with the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals where I became a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.

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.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, PC
I’ve been in private practice since 2004, working with adults individually, in couples, and in groups. My style is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and share freely. You’ll find me listening intently, asking questions, but also allowing for moments of quiet reflection. My approach is informed by my training in psychoanalysis as well as cognitive behavioral therapies, and I believe that a good therapeutic fit, where you feel truly seen and heard, can be transformative.
