Getting to know Kimberly Kossoff

“I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.” — J.R.R. Tolkien Life can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety or past experiences weigh us down. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore these feelings and build tools to help you move forward. We all carry stories about who we are and the roles we play. Sometimes these stories can hold us back or keep us stuck in unhelpful cycles. Together, we’ll look at the patterns and beliefs that are limiting you and work toward creating healthier routines and mindsets that support your well-being.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have a background in neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral sciences. I am a Long Island native who enjoys live music, nature, and loves animals. *Hi, We will be emailing you our intake forms via our system 'Simple Practice'. Please check your email and complete them prior to your appointment. Thank you.*

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Within sessions, I’ve found CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based techniques are especially helpful for understanding the mind-body connection, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and developing a stronger, healthier relationship with yourself. I also like incorporating art and creative practices as outlets for energy and self-expression.

A kind soul
Supportive, knowledgeable, and kind.
Kim is a warm soul who thrives in making the most comfortable environment. She is insightful, smart, and a good human. 10/10 would recommend
Ever since I started my sessions, I have been able to center myself and my thoughts. I look forward to my session every week as I am empowered to validate my own feelings and actions. Her relatability and practical approaches help me navigate life as a young woman. I feel safe and heard in my sessions.
Kim was the best - so flexible and willing to work around whatever came up in my life. She challenged me to be better with each session and helped me with so many different aspects of life. We were just scratching the surface and making progress and she was so supportive. I am so sad to stop seeing her - and would continue if my insurance had not changed.
Kim is amazing - she is so flexible with sessions and makes you feel so comfortable right off the bat. She challenges you in the best way possible and helps you to better yourself. We were making great progress and I would have loved to keep seeing her but my insurance changed.
Kim was friendly and supportive we talked about learning tools and exercises to deal with my anxiety and work through my issues

Dr. Kossoff is a great therapist! She is knowledgeable, flexible with scheduling, and provides helpful activities and exercises. Dr. Kossoff is very understanding and easy to talk to, offering great research-based insight. I highly recommend her as a therapist!
Like many, I've been through the song and dance of speed dating therapists. between the ones that "uh-huh" you for an hour and the ones that make you go "how is this person a licensed therapist?", i started to wonder if maybe therapy wasn't right for me. Kim was literally the light at the end of the tunnel. She's kind and patient, she challenges you, she gives you readings and skills and tools that actually help. She's a collaborator, she's supportive, she's the best part of my week. Going to therapy isn't an easy decision, but choosing Kim was the best decision I've made.
Kimberly is fantastic - she has a high emotional intelligence factor, has an advanced and in-depth understanding of her field, and is easy to open up to. Her methods are helpful and effective, and I felt an immediate rapport with her as we began to work together. She's made an incredible impact in my life!
Kimberly provides a thoughtful combination of theory and support, and she has helped me improve my mood and communication patterns.
Kim balances supporting and constructively challenging her patients well. She has a wide array of therapy tools, guides, and methodologies to accommodate her patients going through recovery or daily/weekly maintenance.
Never felt so comfortable and safe with a therapist until i met Kimberly! Absolutely loved the safe space vibe and the easy flowing communication. Her techniques are different than the normal therapists, which makes it more helpful and better to improve. Would definitely recommend her to anyone. I appreciate how relatable and real she is!

10 stars!
I can't say enough good things about Kimberly. First sessions with a new therapist are always daunting while you figure out if you get along but she jumped right in explaining her qualifications and approach, remained empathetic and warm while we were getting to know one another, and provided some great insight in just the first session. I'm really looking forward to continuing sessions.

I was nervous going into my first therapy appoinment, but after the first 5 minutes of my session with Kimberly, those nerves disappeared. Immediately, I felt comfortable in the space Kimberly had created and felt I was able to talk about anything without judgement.
