“Ms. Kim worked to connect with the people we served and focused on people’s strengths—on what they can do rather than what they can no longer do due to their illness. For example, one older woman in the program and her daughter told me that the mother didn’t want to come into the studio to work on art because “she doesn’t do art”. When Ms. Kim asked her what she does do, the mother replied that she likes to write, so Ms. Kim invited her into the studio to write. The woman wrote a beautiful poem about what it felt like to be in the studio and watch all the art being created around her.”
-Sally White, Executive Director, IONA
"Beth Kim led a ginkgo art therapy workshop for the Asians at Amazon HQ2 chapter and we all walked away feeling calm, creative and inspired. Beth cultivated a safe space for the group to engage in a new art activity that doubles as a tool for stress relief and regulation that can be practiced in days to come. We are grateful for Beth!”
-Angel Wu, Content Manager, Amazon
“Beth is an amazing supervisor! Supervision with her was a breath of fresh air. She brings so much positivity and creativity to each supervision. She allows you to show up authentically each time and she always meets you where you are. She’s definitely on elf the most understanding and down to earth supervisors I’ve ever had. I guarantee you’ll leave each supervision having learned something new and/or with some kind of take away that can be applied professionally and personally”.
