Psychotherapist
PA
I am Erin King, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from Widener University, passionate about helping people recover from trauma. I use a person-centered approach to meet you where you are. I listen carefully when you share your goals and what you hope to gain from therapy. My approach Trained as a social worker, I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach. As a trauma-centered practitioner, I ask not "What is wrong with you?" but "What happened to you, and how has that impacted you?" The relational aspect of therapy is crucial; research shows that the therapeutic alliance between therapist and client predicts success. I use evidence-based methods to retrain the brain, resulting in fewer post-traumatic symptoms. My focus I have worked with individuals experiencing mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD and CPTSD, and gender-based dysphoria. My communication style My communication style is direct but compassionate. I foster down-to-earth communication that encourages client authenticity. I hope working with me feels invigorating and refreshing! My journey to mental healthcare A family member's serious mental illness was my first introduction to mental health. I became fascinated by the human mind and realized I loved this work. Undoing the damage of trauma is deeply important to me. Abuse in its many forms is so prevalent that I see it as a social justice issue. Helping survivors is more than a job-it's my mission. My goals for you In our first session, after exploring your history, I focus on two things: coping skills and treatment goals. Addressing coping skills early is essential in trauma work. I ask about your goals and what you want from therapy, so your agenda guides our work at every stage. My first session with you It's an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll ask many questions and provide space for you to share openly.
