I am Anita M King, licensed marriage and family therapist. I work collaboratively with clients to help you get where you want to go. I received my degree from Chapman University and have been working with clients since 2018. I know what it is like to work harder not smarter and feel like for every step forward there are many steps back. I am fully passionate about getting you unstuck and where you aspire to be. I am passionate about helping people define and live your values to achieve a more authentic life and to help create stronger relationships.
In our first session together I will spend some time getting to know each other and the issues that brought you into treatment. This is done in a conversational manner. We will review any assessments, questioners and collaborate to create a individualized treatment plan. I have a late cancellation and no show policy if less than 24 hours notice a fee of $100 will be charged to you, the client.
My strengths are empathy, collaboration, and action planning, along with a sense humor.
If you are looking for a therapist to start working with you from day one, I am that therapist. I will work with you to create an individualized plan to address your needs. I have experience working with high achieving women, college age, individuals, couples, families and children from diverse cultures and backgrounds. I utilize a conversational approach with empathy and humor. Through values exploration I will help you identify priorities and make decisions based on your own personal value system.

CBT can also help manage nonpsychological health conditions, such as insomnia and chronic pain.
Utilizing spirituality or religion can help to lean into values to make decisions, understand suffering, set priorities, and create purpose and meaning.
