About

Hello! My name is Erin King and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in the state of California. I use a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative approach in treatment. This means I begin where you are and tailor the treatment approach to your needs while being sensitive to how your individual cultural identities and individual lifestyle impact your experience. I have over 10 years working in the mental health field, and I have worked in a variety of settings with many populations. My experience has allowed me to work with individuals who have experienced trauma, natural disasters, sexual abuse, struggles with addiction and other compulsive behaviors, relationship issues, family issues, and individual mental health needs. I have found it incredibly rewarding being able to be a part of their journey to heal through individual and group therapeutic practice. I have been able to work in schools, community settings, in-home, and outpatient settings, which means I have a broad range of experience and understand complexity in clinical issues. I have the most experience working with anxiety/depression, family and relationship related conflict, complex trauma and abuse, and life adjustments/transitions. Personally, I understand the difficulties of overcoming mental health challenges and trying to balance demands of life in an often too busy world. I have family members that have struggles with their own mental health, treated and untreated, and I can empathize with the difficult decision it can be to seek help at times. My approach to counseling is non-judgmental and understanding. I would describe my style as warm and supportive, and I am ready to help you tackle your struggle head-on. Collaboration is important - together we can work on establishing concrete goals and steps for you to help overcome your current problems. If you are looking for quick fixes, I am not the best counselor to work with. I believe in taking time and working on wellness slowly, holistically, and consistently. Just as physical health takes time and consistency, so does mental health. I look forward to helping you work towards your goals!
