Iris is an amazing and nonjudgemental listener. I am so happy that I finally found my therapist!

I was a new patient and not impressed, the first 20 min of my first appointment focused on doing paperwork/insurance even though I was there early. This time was part of the session I paid for. It’s been over a week and still unsure if my insurance was accepted/how much I will be billed out of pocket. After my second session she said I need to see a specialist to continue treatment with her but didn’t have anyone to refer me to.. waste of time do not recommend

Dr. Kim is patient, kind and easy to talk to. She is good about asking questions that dig a little deeper in a way that doesn't feel intrusive. She calmly offers suggestions, instruction or observations. I've had 3 sessions with her, and am already feeling like we are making progress. Looking forward to continuing our work together.

I have been receiving therapy from Ms. Iris Kim for three/four months now, and I could not be more pleased with the service that she provides. She is kind, understanding, and responsive during sessions. I can tell she tries her best in providing friendly, safe space for clients - even if that includes online services. She's also prompt with her communication so if an unprecendented situation arises she's easily accessible and flexible with people's schedule. She's transparent, which builds trustworthy relationship between her and the clients. Furthermore, she is bilingual which has been extremely helpful when I tell her my stories. I have had several therapists before Ms. Kim, and to this date, I enjoy working with Ms. Kim the most.

I can't express how much of help Iris has been! It's been very tough finding a bilingual therapist who truly understands Korean & American culture and I am so thankful that I found Iris! She right away understood my problems and was helpful from the first session. Iris will make you feel listened to and cared for without any judgement. Highly recommend!

Iris is by far the best counselor I've had! She has brought so much positivity and support to my life as we work through a lot of issues I hope to get through and rebuild. In addition, Iris is so kind compassionate, and patient and helped tremendously. I always felt better after my sessions with her and definitely noticed growth and progress even after just a month. I would highly recommended Iris to anyone who needs help, advice, or just someone to talk to!
