Greetings,
My name is Dr. Aja King, LPCC and I am a seasoned licensed professional with over two decades of experience who currently resides in Minnesota, I am deeply committed to guiding individuals through a spectrum of challenges including addiction, relationship issues, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. Central to my approach is creating a nurturing and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to express their thoughts and emotions freely.
My academic journey led me to earn a doctorate from Argosy University in Counseling Psychology, with a research focus on professional identity development and workplace bullying. This research not only shed light on the impact of workplace aggression on individuals' self-esteem and professional roles but also underscored the crucial link between job satisfaction and interpersonal relationships. I firmly believe in nurturing healthy relationships as they are vital components of our existence and deserve dedicated attention to thrive.
Throughout my extensive career, I have navigated various settings including geriatrics, child protective services, substance abuse, and corporate wellness, addressing diverse issues such as end-of-life decisions, career transitions, family dynamics, and mental health concerns like PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
I view seeking therapy as a courageous step towards a more fulfilling life, and I am dedicated to supporting clients on this transformative journey. To augment my practice, I have invested in professional development aimed at enhancing clients' understanding of the mind-body connection. Integrating mindfulness and meditation techniques into therapy sessions has proven invaluable in promoting holistic wellness. I have also authored "Finding My Cool," a children's book available on Amazon, which introduces meditation to young readers, inspired by my own children's experiences.
In addition to traditional therapeutic approaches, I offer complementary holistic modalities including Healing Touch Therapy, Reiki, and Music Meditation Coaching, recognizing the importance of addressing the interconnected aspects of mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.
I design retreat and spa experiences tailored for families, communities, and organizations, offering a sanctuary for relaxation, rejuvenation, and renewal. These bespoke services provide a tranquil space for individuals to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with themselves and others. Whether it's a family getaway, a community event, or a corporate retreat, my offerings cater to the unique needs of each group, fostering a serene environment where guests can exhale deeply and find inner peace. Through curated experiences, I aim to inspire moments of tranquility and serenity, leaving guests feeling refreshed and revitalized. Visit my website for more details www.brave-defiance.online.
My mission is to provide tailored and comprehensive support to meet each client's unique needs, and I am here to guide and empower you on your journey towards personal growth and well-being.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Communication problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Self-love, Social anxiety and phobia

Aja King has been delightful to talk to, listening well and asking questions that cause me to reflect in ways I've normally neglected to.
