Therapists in Cedar Rapids, IA

I offer an in depth, diversity affirming approach to psychotherapy. I am passionate about providing clients with meaningful and effective services tailored to each person. My training, experience, and skill-set uniquely qualifies me to work within the intersections of addictions, attachment issues, traumatic experiences, and relationship issues. I engage with clients deeply to allow them to experience life more fully. Many people cover their genuine feelings to protect themselves from pain. I strive to create a safe environment where trust can be developed in the therapeutic relationship so that clients can gradually rely less on their need to protect themselves through self-destructive patterns.

Did you know that most people will seek an outside perspective for support at some point in their lives? Whether it be for symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or past trauma - we all need a confidant who can listen, understand, and offer actionable solutions. What I hear most often from clients is that I offer a balance of creating a warm and comfortable environment, while also, challenging them in ways that make them motivated to create change in their lives. I believe this is key to success in therapy!

I became a therapist with a goal to intervene at early ages with children/youth who are at risk with the hopes to minimize long term behavioral issues that lead into criminal behavior. I currently work with children aged 8 and above and adults/couples/families who experience a variety of symptoms and real-life problems. Currently I am only accepting Tele-health clients.

Much training results in a bounty of techniques to assist those women and men who have empowerment issues which include relationship and work problems, depression, chronic illness and who are stuck in old patterns and behaviors. Let's focus on change versus focusing on the past and get you headed where you want to go! Spirituality and metaphysical focus can give you entirely different perspective and way of understanding yourself and life concerns. This work is very unique and produces change and FUN! Find some joy in your life and find your purpose and stay solid in your power, which means becoming clear about yourself and growing!

I work with a wide variety of individuals - adults, teens, children, and couples - dealing with life transitions, relationship changes, trauma, insecurity, anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse, self-harm, chronic pain, and other stressors. I also see clients who feel stuck in life and want to move forward and make changes. There is hope, and there is help. I use supportive techniques, humor, and the conviction that things can get better to build an alliance and a treatment plan tailored to fit your goals and personality.

Successful therapy is the result of effective collaboration between client and therapist.Choosing the right therapist for you is a very personal decision and can seem like an overwhelming task so finding the right "fit" is so important. I value creating a strong, trusting relationship with my clients and want them to feel that they can be comfortable and open sharing their burdens in our sessions. I work with the client to promote self discovery and confidence building which in turn helps them to improve their relationships and manage their life challenges.

My goal is to help you discover how you can overcome your personal struggles and resolve the issues that are keeping you stuck so that you can live the life you envision for yourself. It's your time now! It's your time to live the life that you are destined to live. It would honor me to serve you now.

It takes incredible courage to recognize a problem and deal with it. And it takes something more to change your life. It takes hope. That's why I specialize in a unique approach that can literally change the way you see yourself. I can help you explore solutions that can change your life. You'll begin to perceive yourself and others more positively. And you'll experience positive changes that can help you achieve your heart's desire. Finally, I'll help you discover personal resources that keep you focused on your strengths. You'll experience changes that can last a lifetime.

If you are struggling to cope with relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, mood disorders, addictions, etc., I can help. Growth is often uncomfortable, messy and full of feelings you weren’t expecting. Together we can challenge your beliefs and put you on your path to personal healing. I am a generalist in treatment modalities. I consistently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy with a Strength Based Perspective. Together we can make change happen.

Life doesn't revolve around 9-5! I cater to shift workers and busy lifestyles by offering Evening, Late Night and NEW Night Owl time slots. I am currently accepting new clients and accept most major insurances in the state of IA.

Stop Feeling Like A NPC In Your Own Life. Too many geeks struggle with anxiety in relationships and in social situations. This often leaves them feeling disconnected from friends, family, and life, and feeling like nobody can understand them. Hi, I’m Charles King, I’m a geeky therapist who loves to help fellow geeks build deeper connections and feel understood. I believe you shouldn’t have to hide your passion for Dungeons and Dragons, tabletop games, Star Trek (even though Star Wars is better, imo), or whatever you geek out about, in order to feel comfortable in social settings and in relationships.
