Amanda Kim has been terrific for my mental acuity, I trust her completely. Very effective therapist

Written on May 16, 2025 after therapy with Amanda for 7 months on issues concerning depression, and coping with life changes

I like that Amanda is an active listener and over the time that I have been working with her, she remembers what we have discussed and knows what my primary issues are. When responding to me she is good about giving me timely and appropriate advice that is relevant to what we have discussed. It makes me feel empowered to move forward with actionable things I can do to address my issues. Amanda is very pleasant and compassionate while maintaining professionalism and not shying away from what it is I need to hear.

Dr. Kim is very approachable and an excellent listener. She is really someone I can talk to. She is clearly compassionate. And she is graceful! She has a way of deftly wrapping up in a timely manner, offering helpful insights, and getting to the bottom of things when it's time to close. I don't know how she does it. 11/10 recommend. Would apocalypse with her.

Dr Kim is amazing. She really understands my needs and helps me digest what I am really saying/feeling. I am building confidence in my decision making and communication. I am coming to understand myself and those in my life in a way I never thought possible. I would hope everyone gets a chance to work with her as she sets the bar incredibly high for both herself and me.
