Emily King, MA, LMHCA, CCTP

In today's hustle culture, it's easy to lose our sense of center. We can get pulled under the tide of comparison to others, fall into patterns that are not nurturing us, become overwhelmed, or feel unsure of who we are or what we want. My holistic and compassionate approach is designed with these experiences in mind. I view therapy as a sacred space for slowing down, cultivating deeper self-awareness, connection with yourself and others, resilience throughout life's challenges, and joy in your everyday life. Together, we will uncover what from the past or present requires healing for you to step into your fullest, most authentic self. I often work with those struggling with self worth, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma, or those who want to shift current patterns in their life. In our work together you will experience an integrative approach including several treatment modalities. We will move away from intellectualizing and instead invite the mind, body, and spirit, allowing you to deepen into your felt experience. I will guide you towards an embodied state to build self-awareness and ultimately foster healing and growth. My approach is also relational and attachment-focused, rooted in the understanding that we heal within relationship. I often incorporate somatic practices, such as grounding, breath work, and mindfulness. The most important facet of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. I provide an open, accepting environment and offer an innate and intuitive understanding of the multifaceted nature of our emotional life. If you would like to see if we might be a good fit, please reach out for a free consultation. I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and have additional certifications in Somatic Therapy and Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Healing. I am trained in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Therapy and incorporate Hakomi principles in my work.
