Greetings! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. In 2013 I earned my Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Austin Peay State University. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was a nurse for six years, so I am very passionate about holistic health and healing - mental, physical, and spiritual. Over the past few years, I have gained counseling experience working in inpatient, outpatient, and college campus settings . I have extensive experience working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, identity/self-esteem, and relationship issues. I thoroughly enjoy working with couples who are in distress. I am also certified through Prepare-Enrich to provide pre-marital counseling.
I am a Southern girl at heart, living in the Northwest, with my husband of seven years and our sweet one year old son. We love to hike, camp, and experience the outdoors. I love being a wife, mother, and counselor. During college, I experienced my own depression, related to some traumatic events from my childhood, so I sought counseling, and it changed my life. As a result, ever since then, I have wanted to use my knowledge and experiences to help others achieve joy, peace, and balance in their lives. I also simply love the process of counseling - of listening to someone's story, sitting with them through their hurt and pain, and helping them to identify and achieve their goals. I am passionate about helping people to become their best selves and to experience an abundant, full life.
My counseling style is friendly, warm, and interactive. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral, Solutions-Focused, and Relational Therapy, but I will tailor my style to fit your specific needs and wishes. I enjoy being flexible and open to new issues as they develop.
I am eager to get to know you, and to help you achieve your best self and best life!
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Career difficulties
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Emily King. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Emily is a caring, compassionate listener. She also gives practical advice. I would recommend her 100%.
