More about Kim

15 years' experience
Female
LCSW

Kim is licensed in Florida with over 15 years of professional work experience. She enjoys helping people improve their lives, feel normal and see purpose in life. She is most passionate about connecting with people, listening to them and helping them see that although their situation is unique, they can find comfort in feeling normal too. She feels as though she is a vessel for her patient’s awareness. She sifts through what’s typically seen and takes the risk to present what is likely outside of the patient’s view and environment. Kim believes that behavior is difficult to change unless the person is able to replace it with something that serves a similar function. She has experience helping people with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, mood and anxiety issues & parenting issues. She believes it takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and change isn’t always comfortable but the outcomes from those changes become reinforcing.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
