Trauma & PTSD Therapy for Englewood Cliffs, NJ
Englewood Cliffs residents looking for trauma treatment do not need to cross the bridge. The Englewood office is a few minutes down the hill, and offers a structured, evidence-based trauma protocol rather than open-ended supportive counseling.
Dr. Josephine Kim treats post-traumatic stress in adolescents and adults using Cognitive Processing Therapy and related trauma-focused approaches.
Trauma does not have to be a single dramatic event
People often delay treatment because what happened to them does not sound severe enough to count. A car accident on Route 9W, a medical emergency, a sudden death, a frightening incident at work, or a childhood that involved sustained unpredictability can all produce the same physiological pattern: hypervigilance, intrusive memory, avoidance, and a persistent sense that something is wrong.
What determines whether treatment is warranted is the current effect on your functioning, not a ranking of the event.
Privacy in a small community
In a borough the size of Englewood Cliffs, discretion is a legitimate concern. The practice is out-of-network and private, so care is not routed through an insurance panel, sessions are scheduled at consistent times, and the office is a professional suite in downtown Englewood rather than a shared clinic waiting room.
What the first three sessions look like
- Session one: a full history, current symptoms, safety review, and agreement on what treatment should accomplish
- Session two: education on how PTSD is maintained, and writing an impact statement about what the event changed
- Session three: identifying the specific stuck points that treatment will target
