PHILOSOPHY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HEAL YOUR PAST, UNDERSTAND YOUR PRESENT, CREATE YOUR FUTURE

This eclectic Psychotherapy & Wellness practice is devoted to helping people
transform their lives by providing holistic, integrative and supportive
psychotherapy that leads to a more skilled and empowered version of you.
Managing symptoms of overwhelm, anxiety and depression, no matter the source,
can leave you feeling depleted. You may also experience difficulty adjusting to
changes in your life, or need support working through relationship struggles,
such as, communication problems, codependency, boundaries, trust issues,
attachment concerns, problem patterns, and more. If there are unconscious
dynamics that run your life, you will be guided to identify and heal the parts
of you that self-sabotage or leave you feeling “stuck” in your life. Your
struggles are real, and can steal your life force, leaving you less available
for the parts of your life that should nourish you.

Effective therapy can provide you with the tools you need to feel balanced,
resourced and empowered, and this can change your life and your
relationships. Working together involves developing skills to better understand
your patterns and actively learn new strategies to overcome your struggles.
Insight and feedback are shared with the goal of helping you know yourself as
deeply as possible. As you begin to feel better, you will reconnect to yourself
and your relationships. My training in complementary, alternative solutions for
mental health allows me to safely help patients navigate natural, effective
treatments to optimize mental health, brain health and overall wellbeing,
including nutrition, supplements and herbal medicine protocols. I currently
offer psychotherapy to individuals and couples in New York and Montana, and
coaching sessions worldwide. I provide treatment for anxiety, low mood, low
motivation, low self esteem, trauma resolution, relationship issues and
hormone/health/chronic pain challenges.

ABOUT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For over fifteen years, my holistically-oriented Psychotherapy & Wellness
Practice In New York City has blended what I’ve found to be the most effective
practices in psychology, neurobiology, attachment theory, alternative and herbal
medicine, nutrition, yoga, meditation, coaching and mind-body medicine
practices. I believe change and transformation is possible when given the right
tools to thrive. I partner with you to address the root cause of your emotional
and somatic pain. We do this by integrating customized psychology practices such
as insight-oriented therapy, EMDR, CBT, coaching techniques, somatic practices
and healthy lifestyle strategies designed to help you create an environment that
supports optimal physical and mental health. I am passionate about addressing
the mind-body connection in our work together, because the ways in which the
brain and body systems process emotions are intimately connected with the
hormonal system, the nervous system, and in particular the immune system. Let’s
address your whole system. READ MORE

CONSULTATION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THERAPEUTIC CONSULTATION APPOINTMENT


NOT ALL PROBLEMS REQUIRE THE COMMITMENT OF TRADITIONAL WEEKLY THERAPY

BRIEF THERAPY AND CONSULTATIONS ARE A GOAL-ORIENTED, SOLUTION-FOCUSED OPTION
WITHOUT THE LONG-TERM THERAPY COMMITMENT. SESSIONS ARE AVAILABLE, AS NEEDED, TO
HELP YOU GAIN A PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE FOR YOURSELF OR ANOTHER OR OBTAIN HELP
FOR A PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL CRISIS OR A LIFE-CHALLENGE, OR ANY KIND OF
PROBLEM THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM A ROBUST, HIGHLY-FOCUSED INTERVENTION.

Solution-focused sessions are comprehensive and targeted, providing you with a
wealth of information, as well as helpful insight, perspective, clarity,
guidance, support, resources, coping skills and a plan to move forward. Most
clients would say that they felt better after the initial consultation session.
Therapeutic consultations are different from ongoing psychotherapy, and at any
point, you are welcome to engage in longer-term therapy if that seems indicated.


THERAPEUTIC CONSULTATION VS PSYCHOTHERAPY

Therapeutic Consultations are an option for individuals with very specific
concerns, or challenging life-events that would benefit from this highly-focused
approach. Sessions are solution-focused and brief, (typically 1-4 sessions) as I
am highly motivated to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible.
Depending on availability, sessions can be scheduled for the next day.
Consultation appointments focus on helping you move quickly towards resolution
of a particular problem, or symptom relief from anxiety, panic attacks,
depression, a troubling circumstance and relationship concerns. I am able to
share amazing referrals to other mental health experts, acupuncturists,
naturopaths, body workers, alternative medical practitioners, nutritionists,
psychopharmacologists, psychiatrists, and more. READ MORE

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN NATURAL HERBAL REMEDIES TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL MENTAL HEALTH?

Herbal therapy is an empirically based, time-tested approach that has powerfully
helped many people increase their resilience, and vitality, as well as mental,
emotional, and relational wellbeing. Natural remedies, including light therapy,
can increase compliance, reduce side effects of medications, boost the response
of your current medications, help you reduce or discontinue antidepressants or
benzodiazepines, and so much more. As an integrative and holistic
psychotherapist, I am committed to helping you achieve the healthy,
well-balanced life that you desire, by helping you reach your mental, emotional
wellness goals through education and support.


OPTIMIZE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NATURAL SOLUTIONS TO OPTIMIZE MENTAL HEALTH


I’D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE WAYS IN WHICH NUTRITION, NATURAL MEDICINE &
SOMATIC PRACTICES CAN ASSIST YOU IN CREATING THE OPTIMAL MENTAL HEALTH YOU
DESIRE, USING TRADITIONAL AND ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES.

More and more, patients are turning to natural treatments to increase vitality
and wellness, used exclusively, or as a complement to their existing traditional
medical care. Increasingly, individuals who are dissatisfied with conventional
psychiatry are turning to natural and holistic ways to feel better and address
their symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, trauma and depression. Current findings suggest
that antidepressants work for some, but not for everyone, and unfortunately
their effects often do not last. When it comes to mental health, generally,
there are multiple factors at play, including: genetics, malnutrition, poor
diet, hormonal imbalance, traumatic experiences, environmental challenges, as
examples. READ MORE


HOW CAN A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL HELP YOU OPTIMIZE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH USING
CAM PRACTICES?

A Licensed Mental Health Professional trained in alternative medicine is
well-positioned to offer their patients support from emerging research in the
field of Functional and Integrative Medicine, aimed at naturally optimizing
mental health. Suggestions for nutrition and natural remedies offers powerfully
effective help for people who have not yet achieved the full alleviation of
mental health symptoms from prescription medicine. It’s also a sound choice for
people with mild symptoms, and for those who wish to avoid conventional
psychiatry. Together, we work to identify the “root cause” underlying many
common psychiatric symptoms such as ADHD, motivation, memory, anxiety and
depression. READ MORE

THERAPY THAT HONORS YOUR WISDOM AND WHOLENESS


THIS NYC PSYCHOTHERAPY PRACTICE OFFERS HIGHLY-EFFECTIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED THERAPY
PRACTICES, AS WELL AS AN INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY PHILOSOPHY THAT INCORPORATES
A RANGE OF HELPFUL HEALING STRATEGIES.

You are here because you may feel stuck, lost or face difficult circumstances.
Perhaps you find yourself unable to break problem patterns and habits that
destabilize your life. You may be successful and high-functioning in many areas
of your life and yet you struggle with sadness, emptiness, depression, anxiety
and poor coping adaptations. Lifelong patterns and dynamics that are not
identified and repaired are repeated again and again in our personal and
professional lives. Getting support from someone on the outside, such an
experienced licensed therapist, can give you the clarity you need to process
these experiences, so you can have a mature, realistic and reality-based
relationship with yourself and others.

Seeking therapy can help you have healthier relationships, gain new
perspectives, reach your goals and remain resilient during stressful and
challenging times. Therapy can help you feel less alone with your problems or
life-challenges, as well as feel supported as you work to improve your
circumstances. In an effort to better understand what may be making your life
feel difficult, we’ll explore your experience and customize specific tools you
can begin using immediately to feel better and have more control of your
emotions and your life, such as movement, nutrition and sleep.


WHY AN INTEGRATIVE THERAPY PHILOSOPHY?

An integrative therapy practice allows me to draw from many treatment
modalities, including psychodynamic therapy (insight-oriented therapy),
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy, attachment
theory, somatic experiencing techniques, EMDR therapy, IFS, self-compassion
practices and mindfulness, as examples. An interactive, collaborative style,
allows us to co-create a treatment model that ensures comprehensive
psychological care. READ MORE

TELETHERAPY IN NYC, OR WHEREVER YOU ARE, YOU CAN HAVE THERAPY FROM THE COMFORT
OF YOUR HOME OR OFFICE!

This New York City Virtual Practice understands that busy New Yorkers can’t
always take time out of their day or week to commute to a therapy suite.
Teletherapy or Telemed is a modern option that has become the preferred way to
receive therapy, counseling and EMDR for many, especially busy parents, couples
with hectic schedules, young adults, college students, expats and international
travelers and people who live in remote areas. Research now shows that therapy
sessions conducted by Telemedicine or Telehealth are just as effective as face
to face. It is a personal choice, and it may or may not be the right one for
you.

YOUR WEEKLY CALM AMIDST THE CHAOS



CREATE AN HOUR OF REFUGE WITH NYC VIRTUAL THERAPY SESSIONS AND FOCUS ON YOUR
EMOTIONAL WELLBEING.

This NYC private practice is very familiar with the stress-filled, busy lives of
New Yorkers. Many of my New York City patients are talented, high-functioning
individuals and young professionals who struggle with a range of concerns,
mostly achieving a balanced and meaningful life. Often, the way dynamic, driven
and successful individuals present to the world doesn’t match how they feel on
the inside. Many don't know the source of their distress, but they suffer
greatly, especially when parts of the self are hidden and conflicts are
unconscious. If you are feeling overwhelmed or “stuck” in your life, or
struggling to cope as you navigate challenges, we can work together virtually to
increase your resilience and reduce your stress.

NOW OFFERING THE CONVENIENCE AND EASE OF VIRTUAL ONLINE THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS
AND COUPLES. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, VIRTUAL THERAPY IS JUST AS EFFECTIVE AND
COMPREHENSIVE AS IN-PERSON THERAPY SESSIONS. IT’S ALSO IDEAL FOR COUPLES WHO
WISH TO RESOLVE RELATIONAL STRUGGLES.

The essence of this practice is to help clients cultivate resources, resilience
and enhanced emotional health, as well as uncover conflicts and obstacles that
may interfere with the life you desire. Mostly, I help people navigate everyday
challenges, including helping our clients more successfully navigate
professional and relational difficulties, as well as anxiety, depression,
trauma, addictions, prolonged grief, shame, self-sabotage, low self-esteem,
chronic pain and problem relationship dynamics. Experiencing, and more. READ

WOMEN’S HORMONAL MENTAL HEALTH


A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL WHO UNDERSTANDS THE IMPACT OF HORMONES ON YOUR
MENTAL HEALTH CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH ASSESSMENT, REFERRALS AND RESOURCES, SO YOU
CAN BEGIN TO FEEL BETTER—BEFORE, DURING, AND IN THE YEARS THAT FOLLOW MENOPAUSE.

I see too many women suffering at this transition, and not enough research,
education and validation for the struggle. Even worse, I see women who are
regularly gaslit by their medical professionals as they seek to understand and
get help for their hormone-related struggles. And yet, we have receptors for sex
hormones throughout the body and brain, and neurotransmitters are directly
impacted by the changes in hormones. We now know that estrogen has protective
effects against psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia because of its modulating
effect on neurotransmitters, especially dopamine. Some women have their first
presentation of schizophrenia at menopause. That’s just one example of how
hypoestrogenism can impact women’s mental health.


EVEN THOUGH MENOPAUSE IS NOT CONSIDERED A DISORDER, IT SURE CAN FEEL LIKE IT FOR
MANY WOMEN.

And these, sometimes debilitating complaints, can last for a decade and longer.
As a licensed psychotherapist with a private practice in Manhattan, I see many
women who begin to have complaints, feel “off” or really struggle with anxiety
and depression during times of hormonal transition. Many women seek treatment
and have their first presentation of anxiety, depression, insomnia and
difficulty coping around the time of perimenopause and menopause, whether
natural, premature or medically-induced after hysterectomy or chemotherapy.
Suffering as a result of “medical gaslighting” and tolerating is no longer an
option for women who prioritize and desire a more satisfying quality of life.

I’M DELIGHTED TO OFFER AN APPROACH THAT IS A SYNTHESIS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE,
EVIDENCE-BASED TECHNIQUES, WHICH MAY INCLUDE: EMDR, CBT, SOMATIC EXPERIENCING®,
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS), POSITIVE NEUROPLASTICITY, NUTRITION SUPPORT AND
COACHING. THESE ELEMENTS, WHEN INTEGRATED INTO SESSIONS, ARE TRANSFORMATIVE FOR
CLIENTS, AND IN MUCH LESS TIME THAN TRADITIONAL APPROACHES. 


TRANSFORM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


TRANSFORMATION WITH EMDR, IFS & SE


HAS A TRAUMATIC MEMORY OR EXPERIENCE CHANGED YOUR LIFE? DO YOUR LINGERING
SYMPTOMS KEEP YOU FROM LIVING THE LIFE YOU DESERVE AND DESIRE? IF YOU’VE TRIED
TRADITIONAL TALK THERAPY AND STILL SUFFER TRAUMA-RELATED SYMPTOMS OR BLOCKS, YOU
HAVE OTHER HEALING OPTIONS. EMDR THERAPY CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE.

If traditional “talk” therapy has not been enough to resolve your distressing
symptoms, it might be time to try a different model of care. I’ve trained in
many modalities, but I find myself returning to EMDR again and again. EMDR
Therapy changed my practice years ago because it works and it changes lives. It
is the one treatment method that is consistently powerful and transformative for
my patients, especially when other highly-effective therapies such as IFS, CBT
and Somatic Experiencing are integrated into sessions. Depending on your unique
needs, chosen therapy modalities may include: EMDR, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy,
CBT, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Somatic Experiencing®. I completed
EMDRIA-approved EMDR advanced Levels I & II training and supervision many years
ago and have used it in my New York City psychotherapy private practice
consistently and with excellent results.


EMDR IS EFFECTIVE AT GETTING TO THE ROOT CAUSE OF UNDERLYING BELIEFS AND BLOCKS
THAT CAUSE MANY TO NOT BENEFIT FROM TRADITIONAL THERAPY OR LIFE COACHING.
TRANSFORM SURVIVING INTO THRIVING WITH EMDR.

Reprocessing difficult, disturbing or traumatic memories with EMDR leads to
enhanced resiliency and vitality in the nervous system. EMDR treatment is an
extensively researched and evidence-based method to help people recover from
distressing life experiences, trauma, anxiety, panic, phobias, accidents,
medical trauma and much more. EMDR is not just for trauma, it is also an
excellent technique to enhance performance for athletes and creatives or work
and professional endeavors. It is especially helpful for clients who have worked
hard in therapy or coaching, and find themselves wrestling with the same
obstacles and patterns that initially led them to find a therapist or coach. We
learned during the pandemic that EMDR can be offered to many patients virtually.
Virtual EMDR is an effective and powerful tool to add to your therapy healing
journey, as an adjunct to your existing therapy or as a stand-alone solution.

“UNTIL YOU MAKE THE UNCONSCIOUS CONSCIOUS, IT WILL DIRECT YOUR LIFE AND YOU WILL
CALL IT FATE.” CARL JUNG


UNEARTH

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Current science estimates that about 95 percent of our brain activity is
unconscious, meaning that the majority of our behaviors, decisions, actions,
conflicts and emotions are beyond conscious awareness. In fact, the unconscious
is responsible for much of our misery, unhappiness, anxiety and depression. It
is possible to have greater access to the unconscious in the service of leading
a more conscious life. I offer a psychoanalytically-informed psychotherapy
approach to help clients understand themselves and their relationships, as well
as the unconscious internal conflicts that impede them from achieving their
goals and having a more satisfying life. Through this lens, we are able to
identify and uncover the unconscious conflicts that drive us to repeat and
engage in behaviors and dynamics that are an unconscious attempt to master the
past, but often lead to self-destructive and self-defeating behaviors. Paying
close attention to and working through unconscious material, clients gain
insight into current difficulties and patterns, which frees them to make
important changes in their lives. This leads to lasting changes in rigid defense
mechanisms, symptom reduction and increased self-esteem and mastery. These
life-enhancing changes gained in psychodynamic psychotherapy keeps the conscious
you in the driver’s seat more often.

This is not a short-term therapy solution, rather an unfolding of experiences
revealed in the context of the relationship between psychotherapist and patient.
Because psychoanalytic psychotherapy also emphasizes the ways in which past
experiences shape our present experience, the therapeutic process involves the
exploration of transference (feelings that the patient has toward another person
which they unconsciously redirect toward the therapist) to explore unresolved
issues. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is typically used in higher-functioning
patients (e.g. patients not actively suicidal, without serious substance abuse
problems, and without acute instability in their lives).


EXPLORING THE UNCONSCIOUS TO LIVE CONSCIOUSLY


PSYCHOANALYTICALLY INFORMED PSYCHOTHERAPY OFFERS IMPORTANT INSIGHT INTO WHAT YOU
CAN’T ALWAYS ACCESS.


Schedule Dynamic Therapy

WE REPEAT WHAT WE DON’T REPAIR, AND THIS CHALLENGING, UNCONSCIOUS PATTERN SHOWS

RELATIONAL WELLNESS, LOVE & INTIMACY


WHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS AT A CROSSROADS AND EXPERT GUIDANCE CAN HELP YOU GET
TO THE NEXT STEP. I PROVIDE COUPLE THERAPY TO THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED
BETRAYAL OR ANY CRISIS THAT HAS THREATENED THE CONNECTION.

Couples tend to enter therapy after years of suffering, feeling confused,
betrayed, misunderstood, wounded, resentful, lonely and disconnected. I offer
attachment-focused couples therapy that guides partners to deeply understand the
other, as well as identify patterns and dynamics that have origins in the past,
but are being reenacted in the present. These habitual and unhelpful patterns
keep partners from enjoying a present-day, reality-based relationship.

Marriage, relationship and couple therapy helps partners create and strengthen
emotional bonds, which can lead to increased feelings of security and closeness
in both partners. Because partners bring their own unique dynamics into
relationships, effective couple therapy can help motivated partners navigate
difficult transitions and challenges, and also heal trauma wounds when
present. In many cases, couples have suffered a traumatic rupture in their
relationship, such as a betrayal or infidelity, a difficult loss or change in
circumstance, or another type of crisis that creates relational stress.

This practice welcomes all stages and types of relationships with experience
working with married, unmarried, polyamorous, monogamous, non-monogamous, kink,
LGBTQ, and bi-racial couples. This therapy and wellness practice offers online
couple & marriage counseling to busy New Yorkers, which means we can meet in the
comfort of your own home or the personal space of your choosing using my
HIPPA-compliant, easy to use Telehealth platform.

“NEURONS THAT FIRE TOGETHER WIRE TOGETHER.” -DONALD HEBB


FLOURISH

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY & COACHING

WHILE IT’S IMPORTANT TO ALLOW FOR THE EXPLORATION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND
SUFFERING IN YOUR THERAPY SESSIONS, I BELIEVE IT’S OF EQUAL VALUE TO PAY CLOSE
ATTENTION TO THE PARTS OF YOUR LIFE THAT ARE STABLE AND GOOD. YOU CAN ACTIVELY
GROW THESE PARTS AND KEEP THEM STRONG. IT’S A PRACTICE. POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY AND
NEUROPLASTICITY TRAINING ALLOWS US TO DO JUST THAT!

Positive states are pleasant and can be used to promote desirable behaviors,
change and enhanced well-being. The practice of growing positive emotional
states can enhance relationships with ourself and others. I use what I’ve found
to be a natural fusion of high-level coaching techniques that incorporates the
latest findings of neuroscience, brain neuroplasticity and positive psychology,
to help clients move desirable “states” to more enduring “traits.” States,
whether negative or positive, are temporary and can be used to promote desired
results that lead to enhanced emotional and physical wellbeing.


POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY CAN HELP YOU DEVELOP THE RESILIENCE TO RECOVER FROM MISERY
AND ADVERSITY, RETURNING YOU TO VITALITY, HOPE AND PURPOSE

Positive psychology practices increase resilience, because you focus on:
building your relationships (keeping them strong and healthy), building personal
strengths (pay attention to real accomplishments, skills and strengths),
increasing positive emotions (do more things that bring pleasure and joy) and
create meaning (add sources of fulfillment to your life). Positive psychology
practices emphasize the concept of flourishing and thriving as a way to increase
life-satisfaction. We are closer to flourishing when we focus on the cultivation
of talents and skills, pleasure and enjoyment, meaningful relationships and
meaningful contributions to others and the world. When applied more broadly,
positive psychology practices can be extended to relationships, teams, groups,
organizations, and communities.

Testimonials


Thank you Kimberly! Our brief therapy was extremely helpful. I felt better
almost immediately in terms of my stress and anxiety. I left our 8 or so
sessions feeling like I received great coping strategies and I am putting into
practice all the tools gained from our sessions. I will return in the future if
I find I’m struggling to manage the complexities of my life.



We had an excellent experience with Kim Seelbrede as our family therapist. She
created a very safe place for my family to deal with a very difficult and
sensitive matter. We all felt supported throughout our time and we ended with
skills and hope for my daughter. We would only work with her in the future if
the need arises. ML, NYC



I would highly recommend Kim Seelbrede for therapy. Her initial evaluation was
extremely insightful and helpful. Very quickly she helped me understand my
difficulties and come up with a plan to move forward. I left that first session
feeling better and more hopeful. The sessions that followed helped alleviate my
anxiety and depression. J, Manhattan.



As a therapist, her work is absolutely transformational and it has changed my
life. I can say that I’ve been able to release my emotional pain and change some
patterns and behaviors. I appreciate her warmth, wisdom and creativity. I
believe EMDR is a superior treatment. Client, NY, NY



Kimberly is a gifted therapist and very open and understanding. I am a physician
with a busy work and personal life. Her relationship guidance and advice was
extremely helpful. As a scientist, I yearned for deeper meaning. She has helped
me connect to my spiritual side and has been my spiritual counselor and go-to
therapist for years whenever I’m in a rut. Her guided meditations are
unbelievable. -MD, Manhattan
