Amira King LMSW,CSW-I Claimed

My name is Amira King. I am a Clinical Social Work Intern based in Las Vegas. I am passionate about working with the child and adolescent population with a focus on mental health and substance misuse issues. Being in that age group is a critical time in a person’s life and I would love to use my skill and expertise in helping guide individuals who struggle with any mental health or substance use issues. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidence-based intervention in helping individuals realize their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. I help clients in recognizing their triggers and their emotions and/or physical responses to those triggers. I am passionate about seeing clients make real progress during their time with me. My style is interactive, active listening, and most importantly non-judgmental. I will be sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges and how that can affect who you are.

My goal in starting with a new client is to offer a safe space, make them feel heard, and foster a collaboration process. I am trauma-informed and have experience working with adolescents who experience mental health issues. I am knowledgeable in play therapy. 

Don’t be afraid to take that next step in getting help. I am here for you.
