I’m Michelle L. King, LCSW, a therapist specializing in Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, and addiction. My passion is helping individuals process the impact of early childhood trauma while building a fulfilling and meaningful life. I take a Positive Psychotherapy, Solutions-Focused, and Strength-Based approach, ensuring that my clients feel supported, empowered, and capable of growth. I believe in bringing warmth, humor, and deep clinical expertise into therapy, creating a space where healing happens through self-awareness, resilience, and connection.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Georgia and have extensive experience working with trauma survivors, individuals struggling with self-worth, and those navigating complex relationship dynamics. My work is deeply person-centered, focusing on self-compassion, boundary-setting, and breaking free from destructive patterns. Whether I’m helping clients process past pain, develop coping skills, or strengthen their sense of self, my goal is to guide them toward living more authentically. I believe therapy should be a place where people feel truly seen and understood, and I’m committed to making the world a kinder place—one conversation at a time.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and deeply person-centered. I believe that healing happens in a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and valued. My approach is strength-based, solutions-focused, and grounded in Positive Psychotherapy, meaning I help clients not only process their pain but also build resilience, self-compassion, and a future that aligns with their values. I bring a balance of gentle challenge and deep empathy, guiding clients toward insight and action without feeling overwhelmed.
I work with clients by meeting them exactly where they are, whether they are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or addiction. Together, we explore past experiences, identify patterns, and develop practical tools for change. I integrate a range of evidence-based techniques, including trauma-informed care, psychoeducation, boundary-setting, and emotional regulation strategies. I also believe in the power of humor, storytelling, and real conversations—therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or rigid. My goal is to create a space where clients can process, grow, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
