Kim is a wonderful therapist. I went through 3 betterhelp therapists before finding Kim and staying with her. Her schedule is flexible and she allows me to have sessions beyond the default slots. She also offers a variety of channels to communicate (phone, video, chat). She not only listens and absorbs information well but also provides helpful tactics, strategies and advice for how to handle every situation. She is wonderful and I'm glad I found her!

More about Kimberly
- 14 years' experience

- LICSW
Hello! My name is Kimberly. I have a Masters degree from Barry University in Miami, FL and currently residing in Massachusetts. I have 10-years of clinical experience working with young men in the juvenile justice system, offering family counseling in the foster care and individual therapy for children and teens. In addition, I have worked in a hospital setting, providing brief solution focused therapy to all ages.
If you are looking for a counselor with a diverse clinical background, you have found a match! From toddlers to the elderly, I have worked with every age group. I specialize in solution-focused therapy, most helpful to individuals seeking an immediate skills based approach that can be used in real time. I use many techniques from the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) model which fosters the ability to learn and master behavior skills to enable better life choices and self-help independence. It is my goal to provide tools to clients that they can use and integrate in daily living and work collaboratively with my clients to help them accomplish their goals. I like to think of therapy as an outfit: If you don't think it's the right fit, try something else on until it works for you.

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.
