Therapists in Plainview, NY

Hello, time traveler. I'm glad you made it here. I know there's a million other places you could be right now so I want to help you take a second to be here with me. Not at work tomorrow, not in the climate apocalypse and definitely not reliving that time in 5th grade when your yogurt exploded in your backpack because someone threw it down the street at the bus stop as the bus arrived. Ok. Now, that you're here, take a breath. Take another one. Feel the air flow in and out. Let that nagging voice that's pulling you from being here know that you hear it, and ask it to step aside for 30 seconds so that you can finish reading this.

Dr. Kim is a licensed psychoanalyst, a certified therapist, and a certified spiritual counselor. Besides his psychoanalytic background, Dr. Kim also was trained intensively in living Jesuit life over thirty six years. From his psychoanalytic teachings at training Institutes and from his active Jesuit life, Dr. Kim learned the fundamental queries of clinical and existential pangs in life.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to ask for help. Especially when you are feeling the effects of stress, anxiety and/or depression. Just by looking for a therapist, you have already taken some of your first steps towards change and the healing process. You are doing great and just like everyone else; it helps to have someone in your corner. That’s where I come in. I am here to listen to your concerns and help you navigate the troubled waters that can be our thoughts and feelings. In my practice I provide a warm empathetic understanding coupled with real down to earth accountability.

Emotions can be overwhelming, in order to become more productive and positive in life we need to manage them. Therapy allows my clients to feel in control of their destiny, to regain vitality and a sense of purpose. As they work through difficult experiences, they will obtain a more balanced life with an attitude of "self-acceptance" and "flexibility". They feel revitalized and strengthened to face life's difficult situations. I also work with couples and adolescents.My clients can use their bodies and minds in a more effective coordinated way by learning techniques of relaxation and mental focus.

People worry every day. Some worriers "worry all their lives." Excessive, non-productive WORRY may lead to symptoms seen in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), irritability and depression. There may be misguided behavioral strategies or unresolved experiences that prevent more productive use of worry and subsequent self-esteem enhancement. I will help you understand your worrying behavior, learn about how to live with uncertainty and consider strategies and new behaviors you have not yet thought about. I pride myself in my ability to develop good working relationships with my clients, a crucial part of therapy.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Stressed or defeated? Life seems complex in new and insurmountable ways these days. Many people struggle to find answers to problems they were never prepared for. I know it’s hard to acknowledge that we don’t know what to do. I understand the weight of asking yourself “Where do I go from here?” I support my clients by providing clarity on how their behavior and unresolved issues affect them in their daily lives. I help my clients slow down and understand what's going on cognitively and physically so that we can break cycles and create new strategies to start finishing unfinished business.

If you are seeking contemporary, integrative, experiential psychotherapy, & want an engaged therapist who won't sit back while you do all the work, then we may be a good fit!

Specializing in relationships, sex, complex trauma, and body image issues, I guide individuals and couples through the somatic experiences underlying depression and anxiety, often rooted in deep loneliness. We emphasize trust-based relationships, exploring identity, and nurturing lasting connections. Developing an emotional vocabulary helps address fears of vulnerability and the burden of shame, restoring safety and resilience essential for navigating trauma and c-PTSD. This approach fosters enduring bonds towards healing, creating a space where you can explore and redefine your sense of self within meaningful relationships.

I am an EMDR Therapist, Consultant and approved Trainer for the Parnell Institute. My general clinical orientation is relational which privileges the healing nature of the therapeutic relationship.

My approach to supporting others to heal, grow, and better cope with life challenges and transitions incorporates awareness-building, cultivating acceptance and compassion, and providing a space that invites the possibility of exploring new ways of being. These elements empower individuals to take ownership of how they choose to create their lives and to find greater wellbeing and fulfillment. We often do not realize that the very habits and behaviors that cause us to feel stuck or block us from having what we want were necessary tools for survival at some point in our lives. Understanding such patterns is an important step.

A caring and supportive therapeutic relationship fosters growth and learning. I listen deeply and reflectively to sustain a creative, compassionate and safe environment that not only promotes trust, but cultivates open and meaningful exploration of challenging life issues. My approach is holistic and multi-dimensional, engaging the imagination and supporting emotional and spiritual healing. I am a clinical social worker in private practice in Nyack, New York.
