About Dr. Bernard Kim

Dr. Bernard Kim is the founder of Pondworks Psychiatry and Psychotherapy. He is Dartmouth-trained, completed a fellowship at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and has more than twenty years of experience in psychiatry and psychotherapy. His practice is grounded in psychodynamic care, with an emphasis on understanding both symptoms and the underlying factors that contribute to them.

Conditions Treated

Dr. Kim treats adults with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress-related difficulties, mood disorders, relationship problems, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. He takes a comprehensive approach that considers current symptoms, personal history, relationships, and life circumstances in order to develop a thoughtful and individualized treatment plan.

Treatment Approach

His treatment process combines symptom relief with deeper exploration when appropriate. He provides psychiatric evaluation, medication management, …and psychotherapy, often integrating these services within the same relationship. When a patient already has an established therapist or when split treatment is preferred, he coordinates closely with other clinicians to support continuity of care.

Care Philosophy

Dr. Kim’s approach is collaborative, careful, and tailored to each patient’s needs. He works to provide timely relief while also identifying longer-term patterns that may be contributing to distress, with the goal of supporting lasting improvement and meaningful change.
