These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sarah Kimmons. 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.
Sarah is awesome! I have never used BetterHelp before, and I appreciated how quickly we were able to tackle my concerns and help me regain control of my emotions. I enjoy how Sarah challenges me to keep progress moving outside of the session with reflection exercises and the results I am seeing after only two sessions. I feel so lucky to have a therapist like Sarah!

I recently had the pleasure of working with my therapist, and I can't express enough how grateful I am for her support. She is incredibly kind and patient, creating a warm and welcoming environment that instantly puts me at ease. Her positive demeanor makes every session feel uplifting, allowing me to open up without fear of judgment.
One of the things I appreciate most is her dedication to my progress. She consistently follows up on our discussions and provides an array of coping strategies tailored to my needs. This personalized approach has been invaluable in helping me navigate my challenges.
I genuinely enjoy our conversations; they feel constructive and empowering. Knowing that I have a safe space to express myself has made a significant difference in my journey. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.

Although it wasn’t for many sessions Sarah was able to see where the majority of my struggles were and lead me in the right direction. I was having issues with my personal relationships at the time and she taught me that I should be setting boundaries for myself.
