I feel comfortable talking with Kim.

I’m grateful.

Kim has been extremely beneficial to my self-development journey. Her patience, depth, and insight have been greatly appreciated. Through cognitive behavioral therapy and her guidance I have been able to learn how my thought patterns, behaviors, and mental health are all correlated. I’m excited to continue on this mental health/healing journey with her and looking forward to the changes I will embark on.

Kim is very caring and kind while giving me the support I need to work through what I'm dealing with. She has me explain my feelings and emotions so I can work on changing behaviors and doing what I need to get done. I'm happy with the time and service Kim has given me so far through our journey.
