Sammi Lobenstein King

Hi! I'm Sammi! I am honored to be a witness to this period of your life.

Whether you are a caregiver who focuses on the care of others while going through a major transition of your own, a high-achieving executive with executive dysfunction trying to get by without unravelling, or you are navigating a life changing medical diagnosis and you aren't certain what comes next, I am here to support you.

I work best with those who feel that the world will fall apart if they let up the pressure they are holding, for even a moment. The "I will just do it myself" "I don't want to be a burden" "I can't let anyone down" individuals who just need space to be held.

My practice for the past 10+ years in mental health and my 5+ years as an executive level leader have equipped with with the knowledge, experience, and tools to support high-functioning, high-achieving women and men - especially caregivers and those in helper fields/healthcare - face transition, hardship, and disconnection from self.

As a therapist and as a person, I live and work through values of honesty, transparency, and compassion.

I operate from a skills based lens, blending CBT, DBT, and ACT informed approaches as needed based on the individual's needs. I aim to help clients develop and practice the tools and skills that will help them feel more regulated, grounded, and connected to peace in their day to day.

I am highly trauma informed, trained in EMDR and somatic work, and utilize Internal Family Systems parts work and an attachment based lens often. My general approach pulls from an eclectic blend of trauma, experiential, and somatic treatment approaches to get to the root of the issue to support your current needs in a sustainable way.

We all have a story and the early chapters impact what we understand in the later ones. I believe it is important to start from the beginning to understand the whole story in order to identify the best ways to help in the present.

We will start by getting to know each other to ensure that I am the right person to support you. We will explore where you are today, get a snapshot of how you got there, and start to identify how we can get you where you want to go.
