Who Dr. Kim works with
Dr. Kim works with adults who want care built around their situation rather than a general program. Some have been in therapy before and are looking for a fresh approach. Some are managing intense or shifting emotions. Others are working on difficulties that have persisted despite previous treatment.
Her clinical work includes mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal difficulties, and serious mental illness, including complex and persistent conditions.
Each treatment plan starts from a thorough assessment and is built for the individual rather than drawn from a generic protocol. Progress is reviewed together, and the plan changes as needs change.
What doctoral-level care means
Dr. Kim holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Doctoral training in clinical psychology combines psychotherapy, psychological testing and assessment, and research.
Her clinical experience spans outpatient clinics, hospitals, psychiatric facilities, and diagnostic treatment centers. She is well versed in psychological testing and assessment, is a published researcher, and has held psychology and neurobiology research positions at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, Columbia University, and Fairleigh Dickinson University.
For complex situations, that training shows up as a careful assessment at the start and a treatment plan grounded in it. When medication is part of the picture, Dr. Kim coordinates with psychiatrists and physicians so care runs on one track.
Approaches, including DBT
Dr. Kim takes an integrative approach, drawing on several evidence-based therapies and selecting the combination that fits each person's goals.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach built around four skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is well suited to intense emotions and to recurring patterns in relationships, and Dr. Kim has specialized training in it.

Work directly with Dr. Kim
Restorative Mind Psychology is Dr. Kim's own practice. There is no intake desk and no roster of clinicians to be assigned from. The person who reads an inquiry is the person who does the work, and the intake process is conducted by Dr. Kim herself.
Availability is kept intentionally limited so that each client receives a high level of clinical attention and a consistent, personal therapeutic relationship.
As a private pay practice, care is guided by clinical judgment rather than insurance authorization or network limits. Fees and superbills are explained on the Rates & Insurance page.

Common questions
Do you take insurance?
Restorative Mind Psychology is a private pay, out-of-network practice and does not participate directly with insurance panels. Upon request, a monthly superbill is provided for clients who seek out-of-network reimbursement, and depending on the plan, partial reimbursement may be available. All major credit cards are accepted, including HSA and FSA cards.
Where are sessions held?
In person at Dr. Kim's office at 155 N Dean St, Suite 3B, Englewood, NJ 07631. Secure telehealth sessions are also available.
How soon can we start?
Dr. Kim is accepting new clients and responds to every inquiry within one business day to arrange a first appointment. Because the practice is private pay, there is no insurance authorization to wait on before care begins.
What happens after I submit the form?
Dr. Kim reviews the request and replies within one business day to arrange a time. The first session is an initial consultation of about 50 minutes, a chance to discuss goals and background and to decide whether the fit feels right. Clinical details are discussed privately at that point, not through the form.
