I’ve done therapy before and often find that I am hearing a lot of the same things over and over. Kim challenges me in a way that no therapist has ever before. She also cares in a way that goes beyond the expectation. She remembers past sessions and tries to understand me as best as she can. I have never had a therapist like Kim. I was very close to giving up on therapy entirely until I got matched with her.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Is giving tools to progress and I like the approach she has for my needs
Very caring and understanding. I am so happy to have her as my therapist. She has given me ideas to try and got me thinking about different scenarios. She has been amazing.
Kim is an experienced professional with an active listening and an empathetic working method. I am happy to have connected with her in the platform and confident that our sessions will be a great help in my personal path
Kim is a fantastic therapist. She listens and responds in a way that makes me feel safe and heard. She has an ability to direct the conversation and point to useful, actionable things I can do to better understand myself and how I can improve my overall situation. She is non judgemental and has a very kind and calm personality. Highly recommend!
