Allison King
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
Relationships shape who we are, who we become, and how we experience the world—and when they feel strained or disconnected, every part of our lives is impacted. Helping people find their way back to one another is work I feel honored to do. As a therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), I believe conflict and distance often mask unmet attachment needs and emotions longing to be understood. My role is to create a "brave space" where those deeper experiences can be explored and responded to in new ways. Clients often tell me I'm approachable and genuine. Therapy is vulnerable work, and I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and humor into our sessions. Whether you're a couple longing to reconnect or a family navigating conflict, I'm committed to helping you build stronger bonds and deeper connection. I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
