I just wanted to share my amazing experience with Brave Defiance. My husband and I recently attended a couples retreat hosted by Dr. King, and let me tell you, it was absolutely fantastic! We didn't really know what to expect at first, but we were definitely open to what was being offered. Dr. King took the time to listen to our concerns and provided us with personalized treatment that yielded amazing results. The whole experience was truly wonderful!

More about Dr. Aja King, EdD, LPCC
While I loved my career, I was experiencing a heavy weight of grief, helplessness, and trauma from the populations I was serving. Furthermore, working through my own trauma while holding space for others was becoming surmountable.
To break from this, I begin to dive deep into my own healing process, and revisit painful experiences that kept me frozen with guilt and shame. Through my experience, I realized that my body needed more then talking. It needed to find space for the feelings, and opportunities to release that energy. I begin to seek non-traditional healing options that gave my emotions a place. Reiki, Drumming, Dancing, Nature Walks, Post-Divorce Couple’s Therapy (that’s for a later story. LOL), and so many more modalities. These variations of healing helped me to understand that wellness is not linear. How could I get this message back to the community?
With that, Brave Defiance Healing and Consulting was created.
?Aja King is Counseling Psychologist, with a license in Professional Clinical Counseling in the state of Minnesota.

Join Dr. King and her team as you awaken your soul to explore your potential and the ability to break through to greatness.

It’s extremely difficult to find a Bipoc therapist in this area, particularly an African American woman; despite the immeasurable societal need. As black women we carry enormous emotional weight and it’s so important to have honest, strong and consistent support. Dr. King fills a great void, and I’m so blessed to have met her. Her professionalism & caring approach allowed me to express myself without fear of judgment or rejection. I’m very grateful!!!
