Kimberly is a God send! I had a previous counselor on here and got really discouraged, I'm so glad I didn't give up! She responds timely and to your specific concerns. Definitely would recommend!

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!

Kimberly was able to relate to my needs and concerns through personal expertise. She knows the heartache and pain that I feel with parenting a teenager and offered practical tips to aid in improving my communication and relationship with my daughter.

I really appreciate Kim and her style of therapy. She is very laid back, but takes her job seriously. She is friendly and encouraging and offers great insight and advice and has been a valuable resource to me as I’ve done a lot of self work on myself to be a better partner and father. I am very grateful for her and am a better person since having her help and therapy expertise. Thank you Kim!!

I started seeing Kimberly a few weeks before my dad unexpectedly passed away. She has been a lifesaver during this time. I’ve really struggled with anxiety and she’s given me several diff options to help work through panic attacks and also always checks on me on the weekends.

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.

Perfect balance of friendly and professional. Understanding her background makes me feel even more confident about her abilities as a therapist (not that they were ever a question). I felt instantly comfortable with her.

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 !

Having Kimberly as my counselor has been a life changing experience. I had never used professional therapy services prior to joining BetterHelp but I'm very thankful for Kimberly being my first therapist. The lessons and skills I've obtained during the time I've spent on BetterHelp will carry me through my lifetime. The experience has truly been priceless.

Kimberly has really helped me in a time where I felt the most alone and stagnant. She has had some shared experiences which has helped so much with our sessions. She's easy to talk to and there is no judgment. I couldn't recommend her more highly

Written on Mar 16, 2021 after therapy with Kimberly for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping with life changes
She is very supportive and cheerful but it seems like I come to worthy insights myself and she’s just a person to text to while I’m solving all my problems alone. Dunno, maybe that’s the point.

Personable, real, and very easy to talk to. My time with Kim felt productive and genuine. She truly listens and cares, and it shows. I would recommend her to anyone!
