These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Kimberly Athuman. 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 was very nervous about putting myself out there but it has been freeing to finally have my past out in the light. It seems to be that it isn't in the shadows it hasn't popped into to my thoughts like it used to I can finally put it behind me and move on.

I am heard, seen, and validated. She is authentic and I have made progress internally in just a few appointments. This was the best decision I could have made for myself

Dr Athuman has invested great amount of time into listening to my concerns and helped me seek clarity about some of the things I had questions on. I've learned a lot about myself in the process.

Kim is the greatest! We clicked immediately and she's always very understanding and supportive, but will also point out things that I should work on - negative ways of viewing things or trauma responses that need to be tended to. She's so easy to talk to and I look forward to our sessions each week. Definitely recommend!
