Amani Stafford King

My communication style

I hope to provide a space where you can show up fully, deepen your self-understanding, feel ease, humor, and play, and move toward the life and relationships you want with greater confidence, connection, and a strong sense of self-energy. My communication is direct and loving, sure to share what needs to be said, not just what you want to hear.

My journey to mental healthcare

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than a decade working as a community organizer, educator, facilitator, and researcher alongside Black, Indigenous, and communities of color throughout California. As an organizer, I know firsthand the challenges of identifying healers who share my lived experience so I can unapologetically show up to heal.

My goals for you

My clinical work is informed by years of advocacy and community engagement, with a continued commitment to the liberation, healing, and well-being of Black, Indigenous, POC, queer, trans, and nonbinary communities. I aim to strengthen the connection among all the parts of you, honoring your unique experience within systems around us.

Our first session

Therapy can be a big commitment and takes courage to seek out. I take time to honor your journey, family, culture, and goals with compassion and deep listening. However, therapy can also be playful and filled with humor. I bring joy to the beginning of your journey. Together we can create a space for new possibilities.

I identify as...

• Non-binary, Trans
• Black or African American
