Kim Stolow

You give so much to others. What would it be like to care for you too?

You’re insightful and you are strong. You’ve been doing the inner work. But life still feels off and you feel stuck in relationships where you give more than you get.

Maybe you expected adulthood to bring joy, but instead, it leaves you feeling reactive, drained, or disconnected. Or perhaps at work or school, you're high functioning, but inside, you're stretched too thin. You might be exhausted from keeping everyone else regulated while losing touch with your own needs. Or you might be silently carrying guilt for wanting space or simply having needs at all.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

In therapy, I help thoughtful, open-hearted clients explore what’s beneath the surface, untangle stuck patterns, and finally feel at home in their own skin. Together, we’ll go beyond talk to bring healing into your body, your relationships, and your everyday life.

The Moments That Move Me
What lights me up in this work? Watching you reclaim your power.
There’s something magical about the moment a client says, “I stayed calm during that meltdown,” or “I didn’t spiral this time.” I love seeing the pride in your face when you realize you can do hard things, and do them in a way that’s aligned with who you truly are. I also love the joy that you experience when you are able to truly stay present in your relationships.

One of my favorite parts of this work is seeing you realize that you don’t have to filter yourself here. You can show up as you are, say what’s real for you, and still feel respected. That kind of comfort and honesty is what makes therapy powerful and deeply meaningful to me.

I Keep It Real, Warm, and Deeply Human
I have a unique ability to…
-Bring humor and heart to even the toughest topics

-Help motivated, thoughtful clients soften into themselves

-Use somatic, body-based practices to go beyond insight and into healing

-Build trust quickly with warmth, curiosity, and a big laugh

Clients say I’m easy to talk to, deeply supportive, and refreshingly down-to-earth. If you hear laughter coming from my office, it’s just another sign that healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time.

My Professional Background
I earned my Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers University and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland. I’m trained in EMDR and somatic approaches including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, because I believe real healing often starts in the body.

I also teach and consult on trauma-informed care, especially around sexual trauma, childhood trauma, emotional regulation, and parenting, Whether I’m working with a client, a fellow clinician, or a school district, my goal is always the same: to create safer, more connected spaces for growth.
