These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amanda 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.

Dr. Amanda Kim is a superb therapist and clinical psychologist. My needs are for a highly intelligent, sophisticated therapist (I have a PhD in Psychology and three other advanced degrees). She's challenged me to think and feel in ways I never expected or intended. Her work has been enormously positive and impactful on my life, helping me with anger, alcohol, diet, and most importantly, depression and finding new meaning in life. She's a 10 out of 10 professional.

I joined better help to get professional advice and that is what I got from Amanda. I am happy I found Amanda because ever since the first session, we were getting somewhere and she was getting to the root of my issues. Amanda is respectful but knowledgeable and I trust her expertise. I am happy so far with how my sessions have gone and I am looking to more help from Amanda.

I find Amanda to be a great listener and very insightful. She is very goo (in my opinion) of telling me what I need to hear over what she thinks I want to hear. I feel as though I have actionable advice after most sessions I have with her. I feel I have benefitted greatly from working with her for the past year.
