I grew up in Iowa, went to college and then joined the Army. I served in Germany as well as many locations in the US. I knew there was a big world out there, and I couldn't wait to see it. I moved to Colorado after I returned from Germany. I volunteer at an equine rescue and rehab where I help care for the horses by cleaning the barns, paddocks and helping to socialize them. I have a certificate in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I am licensed in Colorado with over 15 years of professional Social Work experience in community mental health settings. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, coping with addictions, lgbtq+ related issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kimberly O'Day. 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.
Kim has been a great therapist for me! She is a good listener and has provided constructive feedback that has helped me shape future actions. Some of my favorite feedback has helped me to approach difficult conversations with others in my life.

Kimberly is so easy to talk to, open and receptive. Instead of asking "how do you feel about that?" There is actual feedback and sometimes homework. Kim has really helped me feel confident and do some internal work I never would have done myself.

Kim has been the first therapist to actually made me feel heard and understood. She provides great exercises and assignments to help with my depression/anxiety. I have not once felt uncomfortable with her. She is so sweet, genuine, and has great communication skills.

Kim is an ept, caring and strong person and therapist. I really appreciate it how she was not passive but engaged in a way I have found lacking in my prior therapist experiences.
