Hello! My name is Marcy King and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in northern New Jersey. I have been active in this field for the past 14 years. As a social worker, I have worked in community mental health settings, schools and private practice. I have worked with individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, those dealing with life stressors and transitions, parenting, family issues and anger management. My number one goal when working with an individual, couple or family is to ensure that all involved feel safe and comfortable in our therapeutic relationship. The relationship and connection between therapist and client make all the difference in the work that can be achieved in session. I feel very strongly that the relationship between therapist and client should be built on mutual respect, honesty, and trust. This allows the client to feel comfortable and safe so they can fully participate in our work together. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and tailored to each individual client. I employ a strengths based approach to social work and therapeutic services. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I believe that getting in touch with your feelings, learning to communicate them and being true to them allow you free your mind to work through the presenting problem.

Warmest greetings and thank you for visiting! You have made the first important step in seeking solutions to current challenges in your life. It is my hope that by sharing your journey, you will emerge stronger, healthier, and more confident in handling personal difficulties. It would be my honor to support you and to help you find the resources and support you need. Our mental and emotional health is as important as our physical health. This courageous step of seeking counseling will empower you to overcome personal trials, and to achieve your best sense of self. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey, though I currently live in Florida, where I work as a school counselor. I am available a few evenings per week and on weekends to work with Better Health clients. During the summer and school holidays, I have daytime availability. With more than 20 years of extensive experience working with adults and children of all ages on a variety of issues, I have heard both heartbreaking and inspirational personal stories. The wide range of concerns of my clients include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, loss and extended bereavement, trauma, career development, parenting challenges, children of divorce, executive functioning skills, and self-esteem. I draw from a variety of theories and holistic approaches to inform my practice, and to help you achieve your wellness goals. Additionally, I have helped hundreds of clients with job search strategies and finding fulfilling employment. A unique aspect of my background is that I have spent extensive time in southern India, and am well-versed in Indian culture, especially as it relates to marriage and family relationships. My doctoral dissertation focused on arranged marriage practices among Indian-American families and how young adults are driving change in this tradition. Therefore, I am quite comfortable in working with clients of this cultural background. One of the most important factors in creating change is establishing and maintaining mutual trust in the therapeutic relationship. This partnership requires honesty, respect, empathy, compassion, communication, and commitment to do the work of increasing self-awareness, practicing self-care, and growing in understanding to achieve potential. I very much look forward to working with you to help you find your path toward your best life, filled with joy, meaning and satisfaction.
