Hello! If you are exploring Better Help, it is likely that you are struggling with something significant in your life. Finding the right person to help you through these challenges is very important.

Kimberly is genuine and honest, while still being kind with her advice. I believe there are simply too many therapists who do not hold their patients accountable. Kimberly does hold me accountable to make better decisions in life, but she has a gift for messaging it.

Kimberly is the therapist I’ve never had. Her perceptive listening skills and her life experience lend her the ability to support without judgement and truly get to the core issues. Every session ends with a clear plan of action or things to think about/explore for the following week. I’d highly recommend her to anyone wanting to be heard, heal and grow. Love her!!

Kim helped me tremendously over the past 2 months while I was dealing with my separation and the anxiety associated with it. She was understanding and gave great insight on how to better care for myself. I don’t know how I would have processed everything in a healthy manner without her guidance. I highly recommend her.

Kim is a compassionate, understanding empath who provides support and tools for success. She challenges me to take other perspectives into account when discussing life topics.

I highly recommend Kim! She’s helped me navigate some tough situations in my life. Kim provided me with excellent feedback and advice while maintaining an open-mind. I was apprehensive about therapy but she has truly been a blessing during this chapter in my life. My “issues” were somewhat unconventional yet Kim never made me feel uncomfortable rather I felt at ease and in a safe space to share my most intimate feelings/emotions.

By reframing my circumstances, Kimberly was able to help me navigate through some mid-life changes that had me in a state of brief depression. Her perspective helped reshape the way I viewed my situation. In addition, she provided tools to help me maneuver future road blocks so that I can find peace with life again. If I find that I need a "tune up" I will be sure to connect with Kimberly to help get back on track. Namaste.

My Counselor is spot on for me. She offers various tools for me to use daily. I like the homework. We always set weekly goals. She challenges me. What I especially like is that she remembers me and my details not like she's looking at her notes from the previous week and has to refresh her memory she genuinely gets to know you.

I’ve been working with Kimberly for a few months now and she has been super helpful. Together we have come up with tactics that will help me change my behaviors to be the best version of myself that I can be. We have been working on my self confidence and things I can do in my life to help boost that. She has helped me take a hold of my addictions and I’m continuing to make progress. Kim listens well and gives good feedback she makes me feel like I’m not alone and that nothing is impossible to overcome when I put my mind to it. I will continue to see Kimberly once a month but with her help I’ve already been able to reduce my therapy which is helping me save money too!

Kimberly is amazing! She's helped me leaps and bounds the last few months. I can't say enough positive about her! But I'm kind of bummed with Better Help in general. I met with a couple therapists before Kimberly and they didn't seem to be well vetted (very unprofessional). Also, the technology is often spotty.

I knew I needed help with my anxiety and panic attacks and I signed up for Better Help after hearing a few ads. I was matched with Kim and she has been such a gift. She’s an excellent listener and has guided me through retraining my brain for new thought processes. Her experience and expertise and PATIENCE are evident in every conversation. I can honestly say that I am not the same person I was when we first started meeting, I’m a happier, less anxious, and more fulfilled version of myself and I have these tools for myself and for my family.

I was new to therapy and honestly had no idea what to expect. Talking to Kimberly on the first day was like talking to an old friend. Kimberly is always engaged and attentive to what I want or need to talk about each week. She's also very good at being observant when my week has me way stressed out and is ready to remind me that my self-care matters! Kimberly's guidance has allowed me to strengthen relationships in my life while supporting my own health and well-being. She's always great for a chuckle, as well, so even on days when counseling seems like "just another thing to do" I end up in a better mood. I'd recommend Kimberly to those looking for a counselor who can make them comfortable and welcome.

She listened and heard what I was saying. She offered advice that was hard to do but I did it and it made all the difference in the world. I went from feeling taken advantage of and miserable to being in charge of who I will allow in my life. I'm actually happy now. That advice changed my world..
