Complex Trauma Therapy in New York City
I'm so glad you're here!
I’m Ivy Chim, an Asian trauma therapist specializing in supporting women healing from complex trauma.
Therapy with me is about listening to what has been silenced, tending to what’s been held in your body for too long, and welcoming all parts of you with warmth, curiosity, and care. This is slow, sacred work — non-linear, experiential, and deeply human.
Above all, I believe in the healing power of relationship — you’ll always feel seen, heard, and understood in our sessions. Together, we soften the layers of self-protection and begin to feel again — safely and gently.
If this resonates, I’d love to connect. Reach out today!
Welcome!
This space is especially for you if:
You are navigating complex trauma, relational wounds, or a sense of "never quite belonging"
You hold intersecting identities and histories shaped by family, culture, diaspora, or migration
You are tired of being in your head and long to reconnect with your body, intuition, and truth
You long for a safe place to explore what it means to be human, to be you
My approach:
Experiential & Somatic — We work with the body, nervous system, and felt sense
Parts-Informed — All parts of you are welcome; each holds wisdom and protection
Relational & Intuitive — Our connection is part of the healing
Culturally Grounded — Your story is held with deep cultural sensitivity and care
