Hello and congratulations on taking this step! I am a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, and have been working with children, families, and individuals as a social worker and therapist for over 30 years. I have worked in many different settings, offering assistance to those with issues including, anxiety, stress related issues, depression, trauma, parenting, goal setting, career challenges, and many more.
My counseling style is casual, empathetic, nonjudgemental, warm and in a way that joins with you on your path. You are not alone. My passion as a therapist is joining and working with my clients towards developing a healthier sense of self and meaning in life. I typically do not use therapeutic jargon, but prefer the down to earth conversations, while providing a professional and practical approach to meet your needs. The techniques used are holistic, personalized, eclectic and are comprised of narrative, cognitive behavioral, solution focused , mindfulness, motivational interviewing and supportive therapy. Together we will assess your needs, develop goals, and come up with an plan to move forward. You are the expert in your life and I hope we can walk together on your journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kim Elliott. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have been struggling with motivation, self esteem and relationship issues and am so pleased to have been working with Kim for the past six months. She listens, engages constructively, and points me in the right direction for self development such as books, resources and worksheets. She had helped me get back to where I want to be. I know that without her help I would not have made the progress that I have made and will continue to make.

Kim does a very good job of both listening and communicating quality advice. She regularly provides helpful materials to help work through and makes herself very available.

Kim is the best counselor. She listens to me and gives me wonderful feedback. She is always nonjudgmental. She lets me make my own decisions yet encourages me to reach for more. I have been so much happier and satisfied in my own struggles since I started talking with her. She has helped me with my marriage, my work performance, my friendships, and myself in working toward my own goals. We have unpacked and resolved hardships from my past that I did not realize were still affecting me and I have been able to make peace with them because of her. She has been able to help me find my own peace and clarity with my internal struggles and ease my stress and pain with things I am going through. She is truly an amazing person and counselor and I believe she really cares and goes above and beyond to help her patients. Every session I have with her is very valuable.
