While other clinicians are holding 8 sessions a day once a week (~40 sessions per week/160 sessions a month), to maintain the integrity of the therapeutic alliance, provide every client with unrushed personalized attention, and ensure she know every client's needs and story, Dr. King intentionally maintains a very limited caseload (no more than 50 total active clients at any given time).
Dr. King believes in having highly impactful sessions - the result? The majority of Dr. King's clients see improvement within the first three - four sessions - with most clients only needing to be seen every 2-3 weeks within 6 weeks of starting therapy.
Dr. King offers flexibility in scheduling and payment options at competitive rates that are less than larger corporations that matching clients to therapist based on algorithmic models for an ongoing fee (even before the client has had an opportunity to meet the therapist).
