These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Vanda Kim. 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.
Vanda Kim is a joy to talk to and I feel is very good at providing feedback, along with her capacity to touch on different aspects of life. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
