Therapy:
Dr. King is trained in a variety of approaches to psychotherapy (Adlerian, Cognitive Behavioural, Existential, Humanistic. Psychodynamic, Rational Emotive, and Solution-Focused). He is also competent in the use of specific therapeutic techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR Level II) and Clinical Hypnosis. All in all, however, Dr. King considers himself a Classical Adlerian Analyst.
In essence, Dr. King utilizes a values oriented psychology that is more than a collection of techniques. It is a commitment to a way of being that envisions human beings as capable of profound cooperation in living together and striving for self-improvement, self-fulfillment, and contribution to the common welfare.
He approaches each client with abundant curiosity in an effort to understand and appreciate their uniqueness as a creative human being, capable of directing their own process to psychological well being. He assumes the role of a benevolent detective constantly searching for the resources and strengths each individual invariably possesses. He models a basic respect, acceptance and concern for the person and the situation(s) in life they find themselves in, regardless of their ethnic, cultural or religious backgrounds. Drawing upon his experience, he guides a Socratic dialogue, which embodies the relationship of equals searching for knowledge and insight in a gentle, diplomatic, and respectful style. The approach is therefore optimistic and inspiring, and balances the equally important needs for individual optimal development and social responsibility. The end result is to facilitate movement toward a greater sense of feeling at home on this earth.
Assessment:
Dr. King also provides a variety of psychological assessment services. He conducts psycho-educational assessments for individuals (children, adolescents and adults) encountering difficulties in workplace or educational settings, and performs psychological evaluations for varied purposes (Independent Medical Exams, Return to Work, Functional Impairment, Medical-Legal, Disability, etc.)
Consultation:
Dr. King provides supervision and consultation services to organizations, employers, and graduate students. He can tailor presentations specific to the needs of the situation.
