Kate King Art Therapy & Psychotherapy, PLLC
Hello! I offer counseling with the combination of genuine support and compassion, reliable therapeutic skill, and the opportunity for healing through creative expression. I provide guidance and an open space for artistic and verbal support for individuals who are ready to move forward in their journey of cultivating optimal health and wellness. Through thoughtful expression and insightful exploration, my clients will learn to nurture and grow reliable qualities within themselves to call upon for safety, security, health, and strength both presently and in the future.
Many clients come to counseling and art therapy seeking emotional stability, skill-based counseling, support for challenging situations and behaviors, personal insight and healing, optimal holistic health, and personal growth. This is also a safe, productive space to explore and work through difficult experiences a person has gone through, or a challenging situation they currently face. Through skill, confidence and self-esteem building, as well as cultivating a positive self-concept, my clients can prepare themselves for the challenges they may encounter in their futures related to
-Social pressures
-Depression, anxiety, and mood challenges
-Eating disorders and body image issues
-Nourishing, meaningful relationships
-Positive choice making
-Healthy coping skills
-Social interactions and expectations
Viewing counseling as a tool for healing, growth, and preventative health allows individuals to gain the knowledge about healthy coping skills and behavioral modifications both before they encounter difficulties, and to utilize as skills for working through pre-existing struggles. Within this perspective the client will feel stronger about their personal strength and beliefs while feeling more able to cope healthfully with any challenges that may arise.

Bio
I am a master’s level registered art therapist and registered psychotherapist within the state of Colorado. My practice is in Denver, Colorado, and I work primarily with children, adolescents, and adults to provide support in their process of cultivating optimal mental, physical, and spiritual health.
I graduated from the University of Denver with her Bachelor’s degree in psychology and art, and continued with my graduate education at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado where I graduated with a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy. My counseling experience includes work with individuals with behavioral and emotional challenges, children with developmental disabilities, individuals working through grief and bereavement, individuals with eating disorders, and individuals with trauma and various mental health challenges.
I believe that each person already has within themselves all that they need to be a successful, happy, healthy human being. You are already completely whole and capable. Within our therapeutic journey we will explore together ways to cultivate the wisdom and health that already exists within you, and introduce new tools and experiences that you can rely on for support and clarity both now and in the future.
