What Our Clients Say

Myca Bateman-Charters

August 5, 2026

Since my early 20s, Kim has been a steady, grounding presence during some of my hardest and difficult chapters of my life: leaving an abusive relationship, grieving the loss of my mother, navigating health challenges related to menopause, and strengthening my relationship with my teenage daughter. She also helped me find the healthy, loving partner I'm still with today. Kim creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard, and combines deep empathy with practical tools you can actually use. Kim is the kind of therapist who changes the trajectory of your life. She challenges me gently when I am avoiding difficult truths, but always in a way that feels supportive, not critical. Throughout my time with her, I've felt consistently safe, respected and genuinely cared for. She listens with real attention, reflects back what matters and helps me make sense of experiences that used to feel overwhelming. At the same time, she doesn't just offer insight - she gives me practical strategies I can use between sessions, from coping skills to ways of repairing conflicts in relationships. I feel lucky to have Kim in my corner, and I know she'll be the same for anyone who chooses to work with her. She has been a steady light throughout my hardest times, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking real support.

It's difficult to express in a few words what Kim has been able to do for me. By working with Kim and utilizing the tools she has taught me, I've been able to process past pain that was deeply buried but impacting me greatly, and am feeling an inner sense of understanding and relief from my suffering that I didn't think I'd ever achieve. In the process, it has also helped me become a better parent and my relationship with my daughter has been transformed - which is beyond priceless to me. I'd highly recommend Kim to anyone. (I've seen a few therapists over the years, but none even come close to the skills that Kim has.)

"Trust is not a gift, it comes with expectations about your behavior. Trust is earned through small experiences over time. Yours, and theirs."

"Forgiveness is recognition of a violation without debt. Reconciliation is recognition of a violation, debt paid, nothing owed."
