Christine Kim

Christine Kim

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 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.

Happy patient looking away

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 Oak Park

Finding the right therapist in Oak Park starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, or grief — or whether you're looking for broader support. Providers in Oak Park include licensed therapists (LCSWs, LCPCs, LMFTs, and psychologists) as well as psychiatrists who can prescribe and manage medication. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Oak Park is home to a strong mental health community, with providers offering care in neighborhoods near the Arts District, along Lake Street, and throughout the village. Many providers offer both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility to choose what works with your schedule. If logistics like appointment times or session format matter to you, look for a provider whose availability matches your routine.

Therapy in the Chicago metro area can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan and location.

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