I feel like I couldn’t have found anyone else that understands me and my needs any better than who had been chosen for me. Kimberly is very prepared and always on time. She is also extremely knowledgeable about things I needed assistance with. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!! Best therapist I’ve had!

Kim is an amazing therapist. I have a few different in person and on BetterHelp and she is by far my favorite therapist. I am in therapy more for keeping up with life and navigating it and I’ve been super happy with how helpful she is. When I’m having a rough time or struggling with something specific she is great at pinpointing the feeling and explaining how our brain works or created these feelings or habits or whatever it may be and then helping with solutions or ways to navigate it! She also sends out very useful messages each week that help with a range of needs, I’ve enjoyed them and implemented some of the techniques. She also seems great at helping people with trauma as she’s mentioned some techniques she uses and classes she’s done and explains why the brain does certain things which probably helps understand trauma and such a lot. She’s very likeable, kind, understanding and I never ever feel judged by her so matter what I say. Couldn’t recommend her more

I have tried therapy 4-5 other times and never found a therapist that was right for me. This time, I did! She listens. She responds quickly. She seems to care. She gives amazing advice and asks if we are comfortable with the advice she gives. If not she gives us smaller steps or different paths to take! I LOVE her as my therapist! I feel safe talking to her!

I have truly found peace within myself by being able to confide in Kimberly. She listens to my issues and offers good, valid, sound advice. She also encourages me to dig deep into my own conscience to try to locate deep rooted issues that I may not know I have repressed which impacts my current anxiety. I can’t thank her enough for her support!

It can take a long time to get help, to acknowledge to yourself that you need it and then to actually show up. Kim allayed any fears and preconceptions and has gently, compassionately and empathetically helped me work through inner struggles whilst providing enough food for thought at the right times. Therapy is hard, very hard, so your counsellor is crucial. Kim has made seemingly untraverseable bridges crossable for me and shown me lifetime tools that give me more strength than I've had in years.

Kimberly is very sweet and she always make sure to check up on you through the text messages. Which I found very nice. However I find talking to her goes nowhere so she gives me no help or advice. I feel like talking to a stranger on the street would be just as adequate. I often find a talk and when I'm done she has no response has no questions no lessons and I just keep talking and she goes on haha and hun and I learned nothing and don't grow it all I feel like I've wasted a s*** ton of money just talking to a person that did absolutely no actual work that would have taken studying or a college degree to do

I felt so much better after a recent call with Kim. While talking with her on the phone she was able to help me come to some realizations about issues in my relationship with my husband and my son and even some things I needed to understand about myself. She shared some of her personal experience, which I found helpful and relatable. She’s very communicative and available and easy to talk to.

Kimberly helped me a lot with my relationship with my parents and my partner. I felt heard and like I could really express myself. I had to quit Betterhelp not because of her, but because I decided to see someone physically in my country. I recommend her !
