About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Kim has helped me so much with depression, anxiety, coping mechanisms, and relationship issues (focusing on partners with PTSD). With her guidance, I’ve been able to implement mindfulness into my daily routine and have improved the quality of communication between me and my partner. To say Kim is awesome doesn’t do her justice—she’s a powerhouse with so much empathy and actually takes the time to provide thoughtful feedback and tools to her clients. I’m so grateful for my sessions with her!
