Shareka King

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of North Carolina with a Master of Science in Social Work from Fayetteville State University, earned in May 2015, along with a certification in Substance Abuse, with a strong foundation in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness, I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and loss.

My clinical experience spans over several years and includes working with children, adolescents, and adults in both individual and group settings. I spent three years as a mental health therapist at a local agency, providing therapeutic services across diverse age groups and backgrounds. I also served as a Certified SPARCS (Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress and Trauma) Facilitator and Therapist, offering trauma-informed care to adolescents ages 12–18.

My counseling background is deeply rooted in multicultural competence, and I have had the privilege of working with individuals from a wide range of racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, including African-American, Hispanic, Caucasian, and bi-racial populations. I’ve provided therapy to clients from ages 5 to 95, including high-risk individuals and those affected by chronic trauma.

My areas of clinical focus include anxiety, stress management, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, mood disorders, family and peer conflict, behavioral concerns, and school or work-related challenges. Through a compassionate, client-centered approach, I am committed to helping individuals build resilience, heal from trauma, and move toward greater emotional well-being.
