Susan King, LMFT

Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with seven years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, codependency, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, parenting challenges, sleep and eating struggles, and issues around attachment and control.

Susan takes a relational approach. She sees therapy as collaborative. Clients talk through patterns that keep them stuck and build skills to respond differently. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past relationships shape current choices.

Her work draws on several well-known methods, including attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of emotionally focused and dialectical behavior therapy. She uses these approaches to help people notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and try new ways of relating. Susan keeps explanations direct and concrete during sessions.

Susan has an academic background in clinical psychology and holds LMFT credentials in Michigan and Indiana. She also has personal experience with life changes and living in another country, which she says informs her perspective on adjustment and transition.

People who meet with her can expect a steady, practical focus on what’s happening day to day. Work may include practicing communication skills, setting boundaries, managing anxiety, and learning strategies to regulate mood and reduce reactivity. The goal is clearer choices and fewer automatic reactions.
