Therapy with Julia

Innae Julia Kim, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT

Licensed Creative Arts Therapist

Welcome and Thank you for finding me here.

I am a Licensed and Board Certified Art Therapist based in NYC. I aim to guide you through your unprocessed traumas so you can live a life that feels authentic, joyful, and aligned to your goals, wants, & needs.

I provide specialized therapy addressing the following concerns:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Understanding Trans-Generational Traumas

  • Cultural Identity

  • Relational issues (Co-dependence & Turbulent relational patterns)

  • Family Dynamics/ Family Obligations

  • Developing Self-esteem

  • Developing Insight

  • Identity

I understand that discussing your past and the people involved can be really painful. But by working together, we can begin to uncover and heal those hidden wounds that might be weighing you down. My hope is that this journey will help you feel more whole, empowered, and open the door to a more joyful life. You’re not alone in this.

When you’ve done everything you can to improve your mental health on your own, but sometimes self-help can only take you so far….

You can’t just treat the symptoms—just like when you break a bone, you can’t just numb the pain and expect it to heal.

When we ignore the root causes of our anxiety or depression, it spreads, much like an untreated wound. We may be haunted by the past, paralyzed by future fears, or numb and drifting through life on autopilot.

Embrace your true self, liberated from the impacts of trauma.

Trauma is a fancy term for stress that we all encounter at different times and intensities—whether from sudden events like witnessing violence or ongoing struggles like racism, bullying, or neglect. Our coping abilities are shaped by factors such as socioeconomic status, culture, relationships, personality, and environment. Often, we resort to maladaptive strategies like rumination, self-medication, perfectionism, or workaholism. By breaking these cycles, you can liberate yourself from trauma’s hold and embark on the journey to rediscover your authentic self.
