Together, we will address the mental struggles that have been keeping you stuck through EMDR and DBT and then work through practical skill building in each area of wellness (emotional, intellectual, social, financial, environmental, occupational, physical, spiritual), so you can start living the life you've wanted for so long, but never knew how to reach.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, trapped, or like your brain just won't stop ruminating and you're tired, but don't know how to make it stop, I'm here for you. When we're low, life can feel scary, lonely and confusing without a roadmap. I help clients find energy, mental rest, and stability in their lives. We'll take it one step at a time and walk you through mental health recovery at the pace that feels right to you, so you can gain control of your life. I’ve personally dealt with severe anxiety, depression, suicide attempts, trauma, alcohol abuse, & the loss of a brother to addiction, so I'm no stranger to the journey.

I am Erin King, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping people recover from trauma. I will use a person-centered approach to meet you where you are at. I will listen when you explain your goals and what you would like to get out of therapy. As a social worker, I was trained to 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: studies show that the therapeutic alliance between therapist and client is a predictor of client success.

Do you feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells, waiting for the next disaster? Does your mind race with worst-case scenarios? Maybe you withdraw from social events to avoid the judgment of others. Maybe you feel like you don't measure up to the people around you. Your inner critic tells you that you're not good enough, smart enough, or not lovable. This relentless inner turmoil has left you feeling exhausted, isolated, and riddled with doubt. The net result? You struggle to experience the joy and fulfillment that you crave.

My specialty has been in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotions to work towards feeling a greater sense of balance and control through the use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT) strategies and mindfulness.
I love to see my clients discover and learn to empower themselves to be exactly who they are and to live the life they want for themselves.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
