Therapists in New York, NY
My practice has a dual specialty neuropsychology and psychotherapy. I see children, adolescents, and adults. In Neuropsychology, I see individuals who have experienced a learning difficulty or frustration in an academic environment. I specifically look to identify patterns of learning and adapting novel information to help individuals achieve the most out of their academic career. On the psychotherapy side, I use both psychodynamic and interpersonal modalities incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy to identify negative patterns of coping. Utilizing gentle challenges to current patterns, positive coping can be effected.

I support clients through challenges like general anxiety, family dynamics, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles and life transitions. I focus on creating a safe space for open conversation, guiding clients to identify their strengths, and helping them build healthier coping skills. We work together to explore solutions and develop a clear path forward that aligns with their values. Therapy can create lasting change by helping people gain clarity, build resilience, and improve their sense of self-worth. It empowers individuals to navigate life’s challenges with more confidence and a greater sense of peace.

I have over 30 years experience working with adults and adolescents, treating depression, anxiety, eating issues, creative blocks, sexuality concerns, identity issues, bereavement, self-esteem issues, and relationship and work difficulties. I work with a wide range of clients and also have a special interest and background in working with performers, artists and writers. I work in an active, engaged manner to help you recognize patterns of thinking and behaviors that are problematic in your life and help you forge new ways to cope and move forward.

My intention is to create a welcoming, depth-oriented and respectful therapeutic relationship. I lean toward a holistic approach that recognizes the wholeness of all persons and individualizes treatment. The value of genuine warmth, feeling seen and unconditional positive regard is not lost on me. My style pulls from multiple theoretical lenses, such as a Narrative, IFS, DBT, Trauma-informed and Humanistic lens. Mindfulness and spirituality are intertwined in my work. From a multicultural lens, I welcome all genders, expressions, populations and sexualities.

I want to support people exploring the spectrums of their sexuality, gender, and relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and those practicing or curious about non traditional relationship styles within the LGBTQIA+ community. I also work with folks who are working to understand their relationship or heal from religion/purity culture, those who are exploring elements of kink in their sexual explorations, survivors of sexual assault, and those suffering from anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression.

Therapy can be a potent force in helping you to understand yourself and make meaningful changes in your life. It takes courage, however, to begin this process – a process of looking at the way you see yourself, of the way you approach relationships, of the way you make sense of the world around you. I believe it requires a supportive and trusting relationship to do that. I will respect the experiences that have led you to the place where you are. I will help you understand how you have gotten there. Together, we will work to get you to where you want to be.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process. I believe it is important to feel at ease in order to do the work therapy entails. I provide a comfortable, down-to-earth environment that will allow you to develop insight, find more choices in your life, and to build self confidence. I have advanced training in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, however unlike classical analysis I do not act as a blank screen and have a contemporary approach. I provide feedback and believe in mutual collaboration between patient and therapist.

I view psychotherapy as a framework for clarifying and working through problems that cause people to feel stuck, helpless or insecure about their lives. Ultimately, I consider the goal of psychotherapy as empowering others to reach aspired levels of purpose, productivity and fulfillment. I work to help others gain a fuller understanding of themselves and the reasons behind recurring habits, upsetting moods and anxieties, relational conflicts and obstacles that seem unsolvable. My clients explore alternative perspectives to their problems, make more informed choices around them, and gain a greater sense of control over their surroundings and the stressors they encounter.

Kimberly Chu has worked with adults, children and adolescents in individual, couples, family, and group therapies for over twenty years. She works both intensively (multiple sessions per week) and in weekly sessions. The issues bringing a person or family to treatment are never easy, nor simple.

Kimberly's approach to therapy is focused on respect for the individual and the difficulties that lead a person to seek help.

I work primarily in individual therapy with LGBTQ individuals, neurodivergent folks, folks in the kink and non-monogamous/polyamorous communities, disabled folks, and sex workers. I offer relationship therapy as well (Non-monogamy and polyamory). I believe therapy is inherently political and am happy to share my personal identities with clients during a consultation call. I believe that therapists can hold safe boundaries for clients, while also encouraging transparency and authenticity of self.
