Meet Shayla King
Clinical Intern
I’m Shayla King, a Clinical Intern in Maryland, and I’m honored to be part of your healing journey. I believe holding space for others is not just something I do — it is a meaningful part of who I am.
My goal is to create a therapy space where you feel supported, heard, and accepted as you begin sharing your story, navigating challenges, and reconnecting with the hope and strength already within you.
I feel passionate about helping clients uncover their inner light, embrace who they truly are, and take meaningful steps toward healing, growth, and resilience.
Grounded Support. Meaningful Change.

My Focus Areas!
Anxiety, Stress & Overwhelm
I support clients who are experiencing worry, stress, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, racing thoughts, or feeling like life has become too much to manage. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, better understand what you are carrying, and begin building tools that help you feel more grounded and supported.
Life Transitions & Adjustment
Change can bring uncertainty, grief, fear, and questions about what comes next. I support clients navigating life transitions, identity shifts, school or work changes, relationship changes, family changes, and seasons when life feels unfamiliar or difficult to manage.
Relationship, Work & School Stress
Relationships, work, school, and daily responsibilities can create stress that affects how you feel about yourself and your life. I help clients explore patterns, communication, expectations, and the emotional weight that can come with trying to manage many roles at once.
Self-Discovery, Hope & Resilience
I support clients who want to better understand themselves, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward a greater sense of confidence, hope, and self-acceptance. Therapy can be a place to explore who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to move forward.
How Therapy With Me Feels
Therapy with me feels warm, compassionate, and encouraging. I want clients to feel like they have a space where they can be honest about what they are going through without fear of judgment.
I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen and supported. When we work together, I will listen with care, curiosity, and respect for your story. You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start wherever you are.
My hope is that therapy feels like a place where you can reconnect with your strengths, explore your emotions, and begin taking meaningful steps toward healing and growth. I am here to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, build resilience, and move toward the version of yourself you are becoming.
Approaches I May Use
As a clinical intern, I use a supportive, person-centered, and strengths-based approach while continuing to learn and grow under clinical supervision.
Professional Experiences That
Shape My Work
My work is shaped by the belief that every person carries strength, even when they may not feel connected to it. I believe therapy can help people slow down, feel less alone, and begin recognizing the resilience, wisdom, and hope that may already exist within them. As a clinical intern, I bring openness, compassion, curiosity, and a deep commitment to learning. I am honored to sit with clients as they share their stories, explore challenges, and take steps toward healing and growth. I believe that self-discovery is a meaningful part of therapy. Together, we can explore what you have been through, what you need now, and what may help you feel more connected to yourself and your life moving forward.
