These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kimberly Rickels. 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.
Dr. Rickels is a kind and empathetic listener who regularly offers sound advice and helps others learn to rely on their own reasoning to navigate mental and emotional challenges. She offers a safe space to have conversations about some of the most difficult challenges, without judgment. Would highly recommend her.
