Samantha King, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Whether you’ve seen a therapist in the past, are new to the idea, or just looking for a better fit to your needs and personality, it’s the step you’re taking now that will lead you in a new direction to better your life, relationships, and overall mental health.
I started my career as a marriage and family therapist working at a residential eating disorder clinic, where I really found my passion. I worked with the patients as a group, individually, and with their families. That environment really helped shape the therapist I became and taught me the importance of empathy and understanding. It came with such reward when I saw women getting stronger physically and mentally through the aide of counseling services. I have also worked with a non-profit providing counseling sessions in home and in the community for at-risk youth.

My Approach & Values
I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Therapy (DBT) to address many different struggles, including anxiety, depression, addiction, and eating disorders.
I truly believe that growth can come from one small change to shift a negative cycle we can all get stuck in. There is always room for us to improve our mental health and quality of life
