Karly King LCSW, LCADC

Founder / Executive Director

Hello! Reaching out for help can be difficult, but YOU did it. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) specializing in: couples/relationship challenges, grief and loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns.

I am also a Licensed Clinical Alcohol Drug Counselor (LCADC). I utilize a person-centered approach pulling from treatment modalities such as Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT). We are all individuals on this journey attempting to live our best life.

There are times our wellness, our foundation, everything we know, can come crashing down around us; leaving us feeling lost, as if we are floating around desperately attempting to touch the ground or feel some sort of our once “normal” existence. Let's work together to rebuild your wellness. We will identify new ways to build, new ways to cope, and new ways to view YOUR journey with YOUR feet firmly on the path towards YOUR best.

Director of Clinical Services

Hi! Making the step you are making right now is HUGE and I'm grateful that you are considering me as your therapist. With the uncertainty that you may be feeling, my goal is to try and be as helpful as possible in getting your foot in the door.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, grief and loss, interpersonal conflicts, and addiction. I've spent the last several years of my career working in mental health and co-occurring settings ranging from outpatient counseling to impatient substance abuse treatment. I believe that therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all," so I work from a person-centered approach and incorporate treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. It is also important to me to incorporate a narrative approach which encourages my clients to see that we are not defined by our struggles but rather people working through them.

There are many reasons that could have led you to this point. What I can tell you is that when you are treated with kindness and provided with a space that allows you to feel safe, your growth can go anywhere you allow it to go. Together we can learn new ways to cope, to heal, and to flourish. If you are ready to jump into this, I am here to walk alongside you in this journey.

Our individual experiences are what make us who we are. We are never described by a single, solitary thing and no one can be defined by a mental illness. You are amazing, unique, and resilient!

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) willing to provide services to those suffering from depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, grief, attachment issues, and trauma. In utilizing a person-centered approach, it empowers my clients to direct our sessions. I also like to incorporate Psychodynamic, Play, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and Solution-Focused modalities into my approach. Every client is unique, so a singular, broad-brush approach seems thoughtless.

As your therapist, you can expect to feel heard and supported. My focus is centered on establishing and building trust in order to provide a special, safe space. Together, we can achieve your goals and overcome some of the struggles you might be facing. It would be my honor to work with you!

Welcome, I am a Licensed Social Worker. My background experience is in case management, therapy with teens, and children as young as preschool age. I have also counseled military veterans individually and in group therapy settings.

Every client is on their own journey to healing and personal growth. During a therapy session I adhere to a strength-based approach to therapy. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) during therapy sessions. CBT is based on the idea that how we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion) and how we act (behavior) all interact together. Specifically, our thoughts determine our feelings and our behavior.

The quality of our lives depends on our daily thoughts and choices. If clients incorporate exercise, balanced healthy meals, and an optimistic mindset they can create positive changes in many areas of their life.
