Kimberly is wonderful! She asks good questions to guide me to think more about why I think or feel the way I do when I bring something up, but does it a way that doesn't feel pushy or judgemental. She also let's me talk about what I need to talk about, but is really good at redirecting to what I've stated I want to work on instead of letting avoid it altogether.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.

Kim is the BEST!
Kim listens to everything I say, and remembers the details about my life and things that are bothering me. She checks in with me outside our scheduled appointments, which shows she truly does care.
