Sex Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

Times are very tough right now, but reaching out for help should not be. By asking for help you are already taking the first step to making your mental health a priority. As a therapist, I provide an inclusive and empathetic space for my clients to begin the healing journey. Opening up to a stranger is scary and I am here to make that first step less frightening. I do not approach therapy as a one-size fits all style. People are unique and their environment and experiences make them who they are.

Hello! I love to see marriages and families functioning at their greatest potential. I believe that to have a healthy marriage and family, you must first have healthy individuals. That’s why I focus on couples as a whole but also on the individuals within the family unit. I help people work on themselves so that they can have a healthy and happy family. The great thing is that if you heal your family, you can build a lasting legacy! I also help men with pornography and other sexual addictions. If that’s an issue for you, there’s no need to fight it alone. Let’s talk.

Life can be hard. Young people face a number of challenges-- family stresses, anxiety about growing older and separating from parents, peer pressure, the lure of substances. As adults, we also face painful stressors-- divorce, for example, losses, aging. We can become stuck, overwhelmed, and confused. In my work with adolescents and adults, I offer an engaged, intensive approach that will allow us to understand how longstanding dysfunctional patterns and beliefs affect your daily life. Specialized training and decades of experience have taught me that the better we understand ourselves, the better we can handle challenges and implement adaptive solutions.

We offer therapy from a nonjudgmental, secular viewpoint and have a compassionate and accepting approach to all clients.

Therapy interventions we offer include mindfulness, somatic/body based practice, movement based practice, as well as traditional psychotherapy / "talk therapy".

My work with clients often focuses on addressing trauma and loss/grief, clarifying values, finding meaning and purpose, and increasing people's sense of belonging. I am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP). Working with clients around identity exploration is a passion of mine. The purpose of therapy is to have an affirming place to safely explore and grow in ways defined and determined by you. I consider how identities (gender identity, race, sexuality , class, (dis)ability, religion, etc.) shape your experiences and how they help us understand what wellness means to you.

My client has the answers they need inside of them, they just need some outside perspective. Most of my clients have experienced trauma in their lives in some form, and struggled with finding themselves or finding meaning in their life experience afterward. I enjoy navigating and exploring the full-range of human experience including issues pertaining to identity and sexuality , unearthing fears and anxieties, boundary setting, and building expression in all areas of life.

To Schedule: https://headway.co/providers/monica-king In the midst of the busyness and conflicts of life it can be hard to hear your own wisdom saying who you are and how you can change. Psychotherapy can help. At its heart, psychotherapy is about listening. And you, feeling truly heard in a new, and refreshing way. As a therapist I strive to listen with compassion and interest to help my clients hear their own voice. Reflected, this offers possibilities for greater self understanding, change, and new direction. The therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for the positive changes that you as a client seek.

I believe in working with my clients in a collaborative way to identify intervention areas and to develop the therapeutic roadmap. I specialize in helping you navigate life transitions such as puberty, graduations (high school, college, trade school), diagnoses and changes within relationships (marriage, children, divorce, sexuality and loss of partner). I also work with people struggling with depression and anxiety (including sport and academic performance anxiety and perfectionism). I treat adolescents (11+), college students, young adults, adults and couples.

Throughout life we face unexpected situations and scenarios that we are emotionally unprepared to manage. Making the choice to engage in therapy can assist you in developing the skills needed to manage these surprise obstacles. Whether you are learning to manage thoughts and emotions, or working to process trauma, deciding to begin therapy can be difficult – even frightening. My hope is to assist you in surpassing those fears by providing a safe and collaborative environment where you are able to recognize and honor your empowerment.
