Karen King, MS LMHC

Karen is deeply inspired to help guide and support new professionals as they navigate an increasingly complex world of providing therapy, and to help clinicians learn the ins and outs of Business as well as the Art of Practice.

She draws from an eclectic background of professional dance, choreography, meditation, contemplative meditation studies and her training in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Ketamine Assisted Therapy. You might be a therapist entering the field knowing exactly what you want to specialize in, focus on and achieve, while some enter just knowing they want to help people who struggle without having a theoretical passion or focus. Both of these perspectives are welcome at Therapist Circle. This is the time for you to explore and define your theory of therapy while you have solid Admin/Clinical and Billing support and yet also total independence in your clinical practice.

Karen supports new clinicians in their journeys to become their most skillful and professional selves, and also challenges them with humor and grace. She will often bring up articles and books she is reading, podcasts, or other tools to discuss and inspire clinicians who want deep understanding and a relationship with the powerful underpinning of Psychotherapy and how it works.

Karen uses the tools of Mindfulness, Western Philosophy & Ideas, knowledge of Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, Solution Focused Brief Treatment, Expressive Arts techniques as well as a Humanistic, collaborative therapy style as a framework for teaching and mentoring new therapists. She invests in her Associates to find their passions, and helps them achieve their goal and dreams for their therapy careers.

Helping clinicians absorb these skills and see the world open up to them is her passion and motivation for practicing psychotherapy and teaching these perspectives to new therapists is a dynamic and exciting journey.
