Christine Kim

Christine Kim

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Batavia, IL


Welcome! I have 30 years of experience supporting people through a variety of life challenges. I am a trauma-informed therapist and my specialties include helping with anxiety, trauma, stress management, life transitions, and depression. My deep, intuitive understanding includes lived experience, and clinical wisdom that only comes with decades of practice and life.

My approach to therapy includes Somatic-Focused therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Compassion-Focused therapy, Polyvagal-informed, and Psychodynamic therapy. I am also a Certified Yoga Therapist so I am able to integrate the ancient tools of yoga into my work with you if you are interested; breath-based gentle movement, meditation, visualization, etc. The breath is the gateway to the central nervous system--calming and strengthening it is the key to reducing anxiety and healing trauma. This broad approach allows me to meet you where you are at while holding a safe, supportive space for you.

Working with others on their healing journey is my life's passion. We will start by building a strong, supportive relationship; warmth, compassion, and respect are at the very heart of my work. Our sessions will be tailored to fit your specific needs. I understand that seeking help can be difficult and it takes courage to take that first step. I will be honored to join you on your healing journey towards a more joyful life.

Hi, I'm Maurissa. Much of my background has involved work with people on the Autism spectrum and I found that they struggle with the same things that many people do, including grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, etc. My experience with people on the spectrum has helped me to provide an open perspective to work with those struggling with emotional regulation and different ways of thinking.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Elgin

Finding the right therapist in Elgin starts with getting clear on what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a specific area like family therapy or teen counseling, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your situation can make a meaningful difference. Common license types include LPC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologist — and if you need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.

From there, consider the practical details that matter to you — like whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions, a provider's location relative to your neighborhood, and their availability. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach, which helps you decide if they're a good match before your first appointment.

Therapy in Elgin can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
