Hello, my name is Dr. L. Chodi King and I am a licensed psychologist. I work with ages 18-99. I have worked with patients in integrated programs focusing on, but not limited to, co-occurring disorders, trauma, sexual abuse, and chronic pain helping them move past life's challenges into a bright future.
My approach
My approach to therapy is person-centered. The modalities I use vary based on the individual needs of each patient as they are all unique individuals though I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral approaches.
My focus
My approach to therapy is a good fit for adults of all ages dealing with the challenges of life. These challenges may include but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, personality disorders, trauma, sexual abuse, and chronic pain. I work with you to cleanse your perceptions that are holding you back while building skills that will allow you to move into your brightest future.
My communication style
I use a calm, personable, and non-judgmental style of communication. I want you to feel safe to talk about anything. Safety is built through trust and we will begin building this trust in our very first session.
My journey to mental healthcare
I knew from the age of 14 through my interactions with my own social worker that I wanted to help others. I became a psychologist because I felt that it provided me with the most avenues to assist others to rise above the challenges in their lives and become the best version of themselves. There is no great joy than in watching someone move into a future that is bright with possibilities.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting is first to help you define what goals you want to accomplish through the use of therapy. We will work together then to set and track smaller goals that will lead us to accomplishing your larger goals.
My first session with you
Our first session is about starting to build that initial connection and trust through getting to know each other better and you becoming with what therapy is. During this session, I will ask you a number of questions for the sole purpose of understanding you better. We will begin to explore your life challenges; the goals possible goals you want to achieve and how I can be of service to you.
