Getting to know Connie King

Hi there, I'm Connie! I like that I can provide therapy to those who would generally not seek help. The stigma attached can be a deterrent to good mental wellness as well as cultural conditioning, tradition, and limited access. The therapist needs to understand the cultural language being spoken, even before a word is uttered. My focus I am a trauma-focused therapist with extensive training and experience treating persons with PTSD, anxiety, depression, formerly incarcerated persons, women's issues, conflict resolution, and life coaching. My approach I work from the past to the present. This method helps to find out why and how events from the past affect today. If past experiences do not enhance, encourage, or lift you, leave them on the conveyor belt of life. My approaches are trauma-focused, client-centered, brief solution therapy, cognitive behavioral, and other evidence-based techniques. My communication style My counseling style is that of a teacher. I am empathetic and acknowledge emotional pain, but I will challenge you to push towards your open door of healing. I provide the tools, but you are the healer. My journey to mental healthcare I became interested in mental health to understand certain behaviors I saw play out in my childhood. I didn't understand how traumatic events could alter your outlook on life. My goal is not to leave anyone the way that I found them, but better because our paths crossed. My goals for you Together, we map out the journey with checkpoints and destinations. The issues may be complex and overwhelming. The goal is not to retraumatize the client but to be deliberate in goal setting. It's like peeling an onion layer by layer. This could mean taking a break from therapy, returning when ready to peel the next layer. Our first session Superb information-gathering and active listening skills are the two most powerful tools a therapist can possess. During our first session, the client can expect me to ask questions and listen..
