Crystal Kim

She/Her/Hers

A Columbia University-trained, board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to helping people who are suffering mentally and emotionally.


Crystal is not accepting new patients at this time.

Crystal received her Master’s in Nursing in Psychiatry from Columbia University and her Bachelor’s in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. She is trained in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and supportive therapies and can customize treatments based on one’s individual needs.

Crystal has extensive experience evaluating and treating adults in the emergency room, inpatient, and clinic settings across diverse populations for over 15 years. Previously, she was part of Columbia Psychiatry’s faculty practice where she specialized in general psychiatry, with a focus in treating the unique mental health concerns of women across the reproductive cycle through the Women’s Program.

As a nurse practitioner, she values a warm, empathic, and collaborative approach in treating mental health concerns which includes the use of various psychotherapies, behavioral/lifestyle modification, and medications if indicated.

 
  • Client Testimonial

    I am SO glad that I found Crystal. After a handful of not-so-good therapists, it was such a relief to finally find someone great! Her ability to ask thoughtful questions, put together multiple pieces of the puzzle, and share insights back that result in "aha! moments" is truly amazing.

  • Client Testimonial

    I highly recommend Crystal. She's professional, compassionate, and just exceptional at her job. I would not have gotten through the pandemic without her!

  • Client Testimonial

    Highly recommend. Good understanding of the multifactorial nature of treating psychiatric impairments. Takes the time to listen to her patients. Easy to get in touch with via email. Has also been very flexible and understanding with telehealth visits during COVID-19 pandemic.
