Dr. Amy KingA professional guide for your journey towards psychological wellness
Dr. Amy King is a licensed psychologist who specializes in insight-oriented therapy. Symptoms such as panic attacks, depression, or anxiety are often outward signs of a deeper struggle. Coping skills and behavioral strategies are helpful, and sometimes necessary, first steps in managing symptoms. But for those seeking lasting change, clear understanding of the root problem paves the way for effective and powerful interventions that brings deep healing, not just symptom management. If you are tired of fighting the same fight, and if you are ready for productive and energizing change, I’m here for you. Let’s get started!

As a second-generation Asian-American and among the first in my family to attend college, I learned a lot about forging new paths and negotiating conflicting values and identities. Decisions (ours and others), opportunities, and natural limitations influence us everyday – figuring out how to navigate these issues would have been exponentially harder if I didn’t have teachers, mentors, and friends who encouraged me and walked with me. Being a psychologist allows me to integrate my lived experiences with formal training to help my clients live meaningful lives.
Early on in my career, I committed to working with a wide variety of mental health issues because I believe it is critical for an aspiring psychologist to see and understand the spectrum of human experience. I worked in the county jail system, community mental health centers, university counseling centers, hospital emergency rooms, psychiatric inpatient units, day treatment programs, and group practices. |
I learned how to effectively help individuals and families all along the spectrum: some in the midst of acute crises (e.g., suicidal thoughts, self-destructive behaviors) and others had endured significant hardships so we worked on making meaning out of suffering and improving their quality of life.
