Complex Trauma Therapy in New York City

Ivy Chim | Asian Trauma Therapist | Somatic + Attachment-Based Therapy

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
