About

Christine Shim is a modern psychotherapist and social worker practicing in New York City with ten years of experience. She has spent her career working within nonprofit organizations and the healthcare industry.

Her clinical experience includes work with teens, adults from the post-graduate years through the pre-parenthood phase, and older adults in the geriatric population. Christine has supported people coping with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, triggering events, and major life transitions.

She recognizes that reaching out for therapy is an important first step. Many people arrive feeling anxious, stuck, isolated, or unsure whether concerns stem from work, relationships, future plans, or broader events - and some are simply curious about therapy. Christine’s approach is approachable and collaborative, focused on practical solutions and individual strengths, drawing heavily from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.

Christine views each person as the expert of their own story and follows the pace they set for therapy. Sessions explore thoughts, emotions, experiences, and relationships to reveal recurring patterns that can be shifted. Her aim is to provide an individualized therapeutic experience that is genuine, positive, respectful, and safe so clients can leave feeling invigorated and empowered.

She is a licensed clinical social worker in New York and looks forward to connecting with prospective clients.
