Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is LaPortia King. I am a clinically licensed professional counselor. I received my undergraduate degree at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK, and my graduate degree at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, KS.

I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals. I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions/stressors, and I am certified in pre-marital counseling.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients from a person-centered approach. I meet clients where they are and focus on building a therapeutic relationship that feels safe for clients. I also work from attachment theory to understand what makes a client who they are.

What you can expect from me

On a first session clients can expect me to offer a warm, caring, understanding environment. I invite questions about the process of therapy, and I have a goal to understand why therapy feels right for a client.
