Meet the Founder
Dr. Iris M. Kim Founder & Psychologist
Dr. Iris M. Kim is a New York-based counseling psychologist dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of modern mental health, trauma, and emotional exhaustion. Specializing in integrative modalities, Dr. Kim has extensive clinical experience treating PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, anger management, and complex relationship dynamics.
Before founding Restore Studios New York, Dr. Kim worked within the fast-paced psychiatric inpatient unit of a major New York City hospital. There, she guided children, adolescents, and adults through acute psychological crises. Through this intense clinical work, she witnessed firsthand how deeply emotional trauma, stress, and burnout manifest within the physical body.
This profound realization inspired her to create Restore Studios—a luxury environment where clients can safely decompress, regulate their nervous systems, and find true, holistic restoration.
Our Vision:
Where Psychology Meets Wellness
Welcome to a sanctuary designed exclusively for high-performing professionals and those navigating the demands of a fast-paced life. At Restore Studios NY, we bridge the gap between mental decompression and physical recovery, offering a sophisticated space to step away from daily stressors and reclaim your inner balance.
A Mindful Approach to Hospitality
Inspired by principles of psychological well-being and sensory safety, Restore Studios NY seamlessly integrates the science of stress management with premium, luxury recovery. Founded by Dr. Iris M. Kim, this space offers non-clinical, trauma-informed nervous system care specifically designed for the modern mind.
Balance & Restoration
Our curated experiences focus on the autonomic nervous system, guiding your body to naturally transition away from daily overstimulation and into a state of deep, restorative rest. By encouraging this physiological shift, our modalities help soothe stress, support natural sleep cycles, and enhance overall emotional and physical well-being.
