Susan King, LMFT

Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Michigan and Indiana with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship trouble, parenting strains, addiction concerns, and anger. She also supports people dealing with life changes, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, and career or identity questions.

Susan uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. She pays attention to how early attachment and family dynamics shape current reactions. Sessions often include practical skills from cognitive behavioral work and DBT-style strategies to manage intense emotions in the moment.

Her approach is relational and client-centered. That means she focuses on the therapeutic relationship and listens for what a person needs. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practices alternatives together in session.

Clients can expect a mix of talking and skill-building. That might look like naming triggers, testing new ways to respond, and rehearsing communication techniques. Susan also brings emotionally focused tools to repair connection and address intimacy-related concerns.

She draws on personal and professional experience with life transitions and cross-cultural living when relevant. Her work addresses deeper themes such as attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, control issues, and family-of-origin struggles. The overall aim is clearer thinking and more manageable emotional responses so people can handle difficult moments with less overwhelm.
