See Theresa's Details for:
Theresa Kimm, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 15 years of experience working with high-functioning professionals who feel stuck on the inside—despite appearing “together” on the outside.
Many of her clients are ambitious, thoughtful individuals navigating anxiety, relationship patterns that don’t quite work, burnout, or a persistent sense of self-doubt and low self-esteem. They’ve often achieved a great deal—yet still feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or caught in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm.
Theresa’s work focuses on helping clients understand why these patterns exist—and how to shift them at the root. Rather than relying on surface-level coping strategies alone, she helps clients connect the dots between early experiences, internal narratives, and current behaviors so that change feels meaningful and lasting.
Her style is both direct and deeply attuned. She is active in session, offering insight, feedback, and structure when needed, while also creating space for reflection, vulnerability, and emotional depth. Clients often come for clarity—and stay because the work leads to a stronger sense of self, more grounded decision-making, and more authentic relationships.
As a first-generation immigrant, Theresa brings a nuanced understanding of identity, parental pressure, and the often unspoken expectations that shape how people move through the world. She also recognizes the broader context her clients are navigating—including chronic stress, digital overload, and the demands of high-performance environments. Theresa offers virtual therapy for adults and is licensed in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.
Years of Experience: 15 years
Depression - Following a significant loss, such as unemployment or a breakup, the ability to "bounce back" might not always feel possible. What's considered "normal" grieving can persist and escalate into depression, characterized by a collection of symptoms that impair daily functioning and overall quality of life.
Substance use - The key distinguishing factor between "normal" use of alcohol and cannabis and problematic use (or dependence) is whether the individual is habitually using these substances to seek relief from or to alter their ongoing low mood.
Trauma - Traumatic experience, characterized by intense fear and terror, can leave lasting effects without proper emotional validation and support to understand what happened. Childhood abuse, in particular, often leads to enduring consequences that negatively impact adult relationships and career. Similarly, traumatic events in adulthood can have long-lasting effect on mental health, causing persistent symptoms like anxiety, intrusive thoughts and alienation.
Burnout - High-achieving young professionals may not always recognize that their feelings of apathy, dissatisfaction, and hopelessness stem from an unsustainable connection to work and success, traits often praised by their parents and society.
Asian American Issues - Conflict between first generation immigrant parents and their adult children manifests in unspoken resentments, anger and the pressure to live up to parental expectation results in guilt and shame, and symptoms of anxiety and depression.
