KIMBERLY HERSHENSON, LCSW
Throughout my career I have worked successfully with clients who have experienced problems such as Eating Disorders, Body Image, Addiction, Motherhood Issues (fertility, loss, parenting), Anxiety, Depression and Other Mood Disorders, Relationships and Grief/Loss. My aim is to create a warm, supportive, and safe space for my clients to help achieve their personal goals. Together we can work on understanding feelings and behaviors regarding your areas of concern while helping you to practice healthier coping mechanisms in order to fully participate in life.
I work with individuals, families, and couples and have a specialty in treating orthodox Jewish men and women and clients in the entertainment industry.
Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was a ballet dancer with the Joffrey Ballet followed by a career as an intellectual property/entertainment lawyer. I graduated summa cum laude from Columbia University's School of Social Work and am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CBT for Eating Disorders through Professor Christopher Fairburn of the Centre for Research on Eating Disorders at Oxford and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I trained in Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) by Behavioral Tech, Marsha Linehan's training company. I am also skilled in applying psychodynamic therapy and working with clients in 12-Step programs.
