Daniel Kim

Daniel, SEP, works with complex and developmental trauma, with a particular focus on how early relational environments shape attachment organization, defensive structure, and the capacity for structural change.

This clinical focus emerged through over a decade of working with various psychedelic medicines, which emphasized to him the necessity of integrating the nervous system and the therapeutic relationship to effectively resolve complex trauma, ultimately leading him to PSIP, which has fundamentally shifted his own healing and clinical practice.

Outside of his private practice and teaching, he writes on his Substack, Inside the Nightmare, about psychedelic therapy with a focus on relational process and the often underexamined factors that shape therapeutic outcomes. These ongoing explorations have also led him to develop the Relational Corrective Capacity Model, an emerging framework focused on the relational conditions necessary for structural change across personality organization and structural dissociation.
