Bio

Kimberly Seelbrede is a New York State licensed psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and Yoga therapist with over a decade of clinical experience and specialized post-graduate psychotherapy training. In her New York City therapy practice, her areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety disorders, phobias, depression, lifestyle and health management, performance enhancement, life transitions, effective communication and stress reduction among others. Kimberly specializes in working with successful New York professionals and high-profile clients in many fields. Some of her distinguished clients include CEOS, senior executives, medical professionals, lawyers, entrepreneurs, financial analysts, performers, creative individuals, parents and couples. Kimberly’s background in the performing arts and television, in addition to her training in psychiatric and clinical social work, psychology, the healing arts and yoga, has allowed her to incorporate a broad range of techniques into her therapeutic work with clients. She enjoys the flexibility of being able to integrate EMDR, Brainspotting and stress reduction/meditation techniques into sessions. As a wellness and stress management coach, she focuses on helping clients achieve and maintain physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being using a variety of coaching and complementary techniques.

In the wake of several significant losses, Kimberly sought healing in her yoga practice. Fascinated by the health benefits of yoga and complementary and alternative medicine, she embarked on various healing and training adventures. In 2007 she trained to become a yoga instructor in the Vinyasa flow tradition (200 hour). In 2009 Kimberly participated in Donna Karan’s groundbreaking Urban Zen Integrative Therapy training program (RYT-500 hour) during which she completed clinical rotations working directly with cancer and surgical patients applying the practices of yoga, nutrition, wellness, breath awareness, Reiki, essential oil therapy, end of life care and meditation to reduce pain, anxiety, insomnia, nausea and other symptoms promoting healing and well being. She utilizes these skills to enhance her private practice with clients. Kimberly is honored to have studied with inspiring teachers such as Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman Yee, Roshi Joan Halifax, Richard Rosen, Richard Freeman and Pamela Miles.

Kimberly was born and raised in Ohio and spent her childhood studying ballet and modern dance, and competed in swimming, diving, gymnastics and track. She is fond of travel, photography, writing, yoga, the beach, body surfing, biking, interior design, travel and food.
