Kimberly Wirt

Kim Wirt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Brooklyn, NY, and licensed in both New York and Florida. Kim specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, supporting them as they explore their identities and navigate a cisheteronormative world. Their practice is informed by professional experience with kink, consensual non-monogamy (ENM/polyamory), and sex work, communities that are often intertwined in queer spaces. Kim’s work is also grounded in about a decade of disability justice advocacy.

Many of Kim’s clients are active in their unions or organizing their workplaces. As a union delegate themself, Kim understands how meaningful and draining that fight can be. Conflict with management, fear of retaliation, and burnout take a real toll, and Kim offers steady support to help clients care for themselves and sustain the long haul. Those simply worn down by a bad job or a toxic workplace are welcome too. Kim works with adults 18+ and welcomes chosen family therapy.

Kim brings anti-capitalist, anti-oppressive care to the therapy space, understanding that much of what brings people to therapy isn’t personal failure but the predictable result of living under capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy. Exhaustion, anxiety, and the feeling of never being “productive” enough are often reasonable responses to systems built to extract from us. By decentering themself in the therapeutic process, Kim honors each client’s expertise in their own life and creates a safe, affirming space to unpack harm without treating the client as the problem that needs fixing. Kim offers neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed care that adapts to each client’s access needs.

Kim incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, offering practical tools to navigate difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and manage stress. This includes building mindfulness skills to stay present and grounded in overwhelming moments, recognizing triggers, and finding healthy outlets for intense feelings. For those facing interpersonal challenges, Kim helps clients develop effective communication and boundary-setting skills. These tools are always tailored to each person’s needs and life circumstances, never used to help someone simply tolerate unjust conditions.

Your first session with Kim is a chance to get to know each other at your own pace. Kim will ask what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’d like to get out of your time together, and any access needs or preferences that will help you feel comfortable, including pronouns and how you’d like to be addressed. You never have to share more than you’re ready to, and you’re welcome to ask Kim questions about their approach and whether it feels like a good fit. Together, you’ll start to shape goals that reflect your life and values.

Whether you’re exploring your gender or sexuality, organizing your workplace, seeking tools for emotional regulation, or looking for space to process and grow, Kim is here to support you.
