Susan King, LMFT

Susan speaks English and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She uses a relational style that centers how people connect with others and with themselves.

In sessions she listens and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. Together they set clear, manageable goals and practice skills to cope with intense emotions and difficult situations.

Susan draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them in everyday life. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current behavior and feelings.

Emotion-focused work helps people name and tolerate emotions, while dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Her background includes a master’s degree in clinical psychology and professional experience across different life transitions and cultural settings.

She has worked with people dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, communication problems, and major life changes. Her training as an LMFT informs a systems-minded view of problems without relying solely on individual factors.

Susan aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She explains options clearly, practices skills in session, and checks in about progress.

Many clients come for short-term work on a specific problem or for longer periods to rebuild relationships and personal stability.
