Getting to know Fonda Kingsley

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, respected, and safe enough to be honest about what is really going on in your life. My approach is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. I meet clients where they are while also helping them identify patterns, build practical skills, and take meaningful steps toward change. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, life transitions, and co-occurring mental health needs. I also have extensive experience working with individuals involved in the criminal justice system, as well as LGBTQ+ clients, people living with HIV, and individuals who may have felt misunderstood or underserved in traditional systems of care. My clinical approach incorporates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational strategies, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based treatment. I believe therapy works best when clients are active participants in the process. My role is not to judge or dictate your path, but to help you better understand yourself, recognize barriers, develop healthier coping strategies, and create changes that are realistic for your life. I also believe culture, identity, family, community, and lived experience matter. Effective therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Building trust takes time, and I work to create an environment where clients can show up authentically and know their voice matters. Whether you are working through a difficult season, trying to break long-standing patterns, navigating recovery, or simply ready for something in your life to change, we can work together to identify your goals and create a path forward.
