My name is Jennifer King, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both New Jersey and Florida. I earned my Master of Social Work degree at the University of South Florida in 2007. I've worked in various settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, relationship problems, trauma/abuse, addictions and individuals who have experienced homelessness. Over the past 15 years as a clinician I've learned that the most valuable part of therapy is the connection one feels with the person they have chosen to share their experiences with. I feel that we can all experience growth through challenging experiences that increase our self-awareness. Often a person who is not a part of our personal circle can offer a fresh perspective or additional emotional support to help us through a difficult time. I believe it is very important to be able to share our feelings and emotions and to feel accepted and understood.
It takes courage to ask for help and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

She is honestly my saving grace! After each session I feel like this weight has been lifted off my shoulders and the advice and pointers she gives me has helped me more than she’ll ever know!

So far Jennifer has made this experience so much easier than I thought it was going to be. Coming into this I was scared and unsure of how things were going to go but after a couple sessions she has made me feel like there was never anything to be scared of in the first place and I appreciate the time and energy she has put in for me. And I know she would do the same for anyone else.

Truly the best therapist I have encountered. Jennifer listens and remembers so much that it makes me feel understood and safe to discuss more difficult topics. She helped me through post partum anxiety, reconciling a relationship with my estranged father, and navigating life with addictions. Jennifer asks just the right questions that allow me to come to terms with things or realize my thoughts on my own rather than trying to diagnose me or tell me what I am thinking/feeling. She has provided me with relevant readings and journal prompts when asked. Another difference is she is open to creating a long term relationship to work through childhood trauma and other personal struggles rather than solving an acute crisis and then sending you on your way. I don't think there is any downside to working with her.

I’m so grateful to have been matched with Jennifer! She’s such a kind soul and it’s been really easy to connect with. I feel supported and cared for, but shes also very direct and provides unbiased feedback which I really appreciate. Would (and have) recommend her!!!
