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.

Kelsey Bates

Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D, CRC

I specialize in working in with high achieving women navigating complex chronic illness, chronic pelvic pain and women’s health issues as well as the anxiety and grief that come along with it. My clients are striving to find stability with illness all while juggling their career, relationships and family. I absolutely love what I do and am a firm believer that day to day life can get so much better with a support team behind you.

You may be wondering why I niched in women’s health. Simply put, I get it. After living with chronic illnesses for fifteen years, struggling to find correct diagnoses, surgeries and countless treatments, I understand first hand the impact of women’s health issues on your mental health. I empathize with the toll it takes on your body and your most important relationships. I get the grief that comes with the loss of dreams you had for your future, struggling with your identity as a woman and feeling betrayed by your body. My hope is to use my therapeutic skills and real life experience to help you get to the other side.

I founded New York Women’s CBT and expanded to group private practice with the goal of providing niched, expert care for more women in New York. Our clinicians are experts and passionate about working within women’s health issues. We want to walk together through pain and grief you are feeling, help you cope with anxiety and feel the fog of depression lifted. Complex chronic illness and health issues are a part of your story-they do not have to be all of your story.

Gina Sissoko

Psychologist

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist offering therapy and psychological assessments in New York and Virginia. You’ve accomplished a lot, but lately you feel anxious, drained, or disconnected from yourself. You may carry invisible burdens or the pressure to always be “strong.” You want to feel grounded, confident, and at peace in your body, your relationships, and decisions. My clients are often ambitious women, including Black women, women of color, or immigrants who are ready to heal and grow on their own terms.

In therapy, I provide culturally affirming, trauma-informed care grounded in evidence-based approaches, including CBT, mindfulness, and relational work. Our sessions are a space to slow down, make sense of what’s weighing on you, and build practical tools for clarity, boundaries, and emotional balance.

I also offer specialized psychological assessments, including ADHD evaluations and forensic immigration evaluations. My assessment work is thorough, ethical, and carefully documented, with attention to both clinical accuracy and your lived experience.

Therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with yourself, I’d be honored to work with you.
