Angela King (she/her)

I hold a specialized certification as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC-II) and a Medication Assisted Treatment Specialist (MATS). I have worked in the field of treatment for Substance Use Disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders in a variety of settings, including residential and outpatient treatment and community health since 2016.

I have worked with individuals struggling with PTSD from childhood trauma, sexual trauma, domestic about, mental & emotional abuse, and several of our active military duty officers upon their return to civilian life. Trauma and addiction often go hand in hand so I've been working with this population since 2016 in a variety of settings.

Like trauma and addiction, grief is often accompanying the lives of those who struggle with addiction. Many use to cope with loss and others witness death by overdose of their partners and friends. This trauma is prevalent in the populations that I've served since I began in the field in 2016.

I have worked with individuals who have both simple and complex PTSD. Experiences of trauma in childhood, sexual trauma, domestic violence, emotional and mental trauma, as well as members of the armed forces returning to civilian life after deployment in war zones. Trauma & addiction often go hand in hand, so I've been working with this population as long as I have been working in the field of addictions, since 2016.

No one knows you better then you, and there is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy that works 100% of the time. I use a variety of modalities that provide the best evidence-based results including Trauma-informed, Solution-focused, Person-centered, Motivational Interviewing, Supportive Therapy, CBT, Trauma-focused CBT, and Psycho-education. My approach is integrative, strengths-based, and holistic. With me, my clients learn the tools needed to achieve their best life.

CBT, is one of the most common treatment modalities used in psychotherapy. Simply put, CBT is evidence-based and it helps to achieve self-awareness by teaching you to think about what you're thinking about. I strive to create an environment where people can increase their self-awareness, identify and challenge negative thoughts, and identify and modify their core beliefs. CBT can be used as structure for treatment of a variety of mental health issues, behavioral and emotional challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, also known as DBT, is a specialized type of CBT that incorporates mindfulness techniques to help you become more aware of your emotions. The implementation of DBT tools in daily life help to foster healthier coping skills, emotional well-being, and stability.
