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. View Advanced Training 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.

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 Therapeutic Consultation 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.

THERAPY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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. TELETHERAPY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

BALANCE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. READ MORE Schedule Coaching 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. READ MORE Schedule EMDR Healing “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 UP IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OURSELVES AND OUR PARTNERS. PSYCHOLOGY CALLS THIS PROCESS “REPETITION COMPULSION.” WHAT PART OF YOUR HISTORY ARE YOU UNCONSCIOUSLY REPEATING IN YOUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS? CONNECT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. READ MORE Heal Your Relationship “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. Positive Coaching TESTIMONIALS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Testimonials Thank you Kimberly! Our brief therapy was extremely helpful.
