You are capable of achieving!, My name is Sondra McMillan-King, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 11 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family problems, behavioral challenges, abandonment/rejection, grief, past trauma, and suicidal/homicidal ideations.
I am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Mental Health Counseling and Administration. I have has obtained graduate degrees in Business Administration, Clinical and Forensic Psychology. I utilize a client-centered approach (meaning that YOU are the expert on you) that will allow you to identify your own strengths and resources, as well as cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches.
My counseling style is warm and genuine. When working with my clients, it is my hope to create a safe, authentic, and inviting experience. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution- focused therapy. I will work with you to identify your treatment goals, develop a treatment plan, and come alongside you to provide support as you work towards accomplishing your goals. You are the expert in you and I use my skillset, experience and knowledge base that I have acquired over the past 11 years to work with you. I am available to meet with clients on Monday-Friday, between the hours of 5:30 pm-7:45 pm.
Taking the step to make changes in your life, to heal from past hurts and move towards a better future takes courage. You can do this! Just remember that it is a process and to be patient with yourself as you go through this process. The hardest step to take is making the decision to change.

Sondra is fabulous! She encourages me and knows how to motivate me. Having a person to talk to about all my stressors that can provide guidance is great.

She is a great match for my personality and I immediately felt comfortable sharing my situation with her. She shares her perspective and thoughts in a respectful manner and her advice is real and genuine. My first visit was a very positive experience!

Sondra has been a literal life savior. Finding a therapist is always hard. I’ve gone through a few bad apples myself and when you’re depressed, it’s a really hard journey to have to go through to find a new therapist. The first session I had with Sondra, I knew she was the one. Connecting with her is always a joy and at this point she feels more like a friend and I so appreciate her insights and care and her messages throughout the week. I completely and wholeheartedly recommend her! She’s the best!

Warm & genuine- how she describes her style and how she truly is. I spoke with Sondra to help me put of a rut, to get some forward motion going for myself and she was a perfect match to my needs. She helped me reinforce my strengths, abilities and acomplishments which is exactly what I needed.
