Connie King, LMHC

I am a trauma-focused therapist with extensive training and experience treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, helping formerly incarcerated persons adjust to society, women's issues, conflict resolution, and couples. I work from the past to the present. This method helps to find out why and how events from the past affect your today. If past experiences do not enhance, encourage or lift you, leave them on the conveyor belt of life. It is baggage.

I like that I can provide therapy to those who would generally not seek help. The stigma attached can be a deterrent to good mental wellness as well as cultural conditioning, tradition, and limited access. It is important that the therapist understand the cultural language being spoken even before a word is uttered. When you feel understood, you feel empowered. I offer a safe space without judgment. Welcome to my place!

My counseling style is that of a teacher. I am empathetic and acknowledge emotional pain, but I will challenge you to push towards your open door of healing. I provide the tools, but you are the healer.
