My name is Leah King (she/her), an Intern Therapist. I am currently a graduate student at Lebanon Valley College working on acquiring a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am an Intern working towards graduation.
I will begin as a pre-licensed therapist starting May 27, 2024.
My undergrad focus was on Fine Arts, and I have always found beauty in the human experience. In the years between my undergraduate work and my decision to pursue Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I realized I am passionate about helping others learn, cultivate, and thrive in their life’s stories.
Every person has the ability and power to live a purposeful and fulfilling life. Sometimes we can get a little lost navigating our life’s paths, and I am here to collaboratively help you find wellness by providing holistic and person-centered care. I work mostly with teens and young adults, but I also see adults struggling with life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship issues.
I provide a judgment-free environment where you can feel safe and heard and where your unique story can be shared and explored. It is also important to me to provide you with individualized care. No two people are the same; similarly, support and care should fit your unique situation!
I utilize techniques from a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. We’ll use a collaborative approach to help you heal. I believe that you can grow and thrive if you are given the opportunity to find your potential and inner strengths!
Outside of working on my Masters, I spend time with my husband, three kids, two cats, and one old man pup! Occasionally, I find time to hit the beautiful trails of PA and run a few rocky miles!

Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Many individuals feel like they are at war with their bodies. Whether it’s feeling shame, guilt, or giving ourselves critical comments about our bodies, we can be our own worst enemy. Our therapists can help you feel at peace with your body and learn to be kind to yourself.
Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, is very treatable. Our therapists are specially trained to help individuals with depression get back to feeling like themselves again.
Life transitions encompass many things, including starting or ending a romantic relationship, changes with work or school or making any big life change, such as a move. Often we underestimate how these changes will affect us emotionally until we find ourselves struggling with the ups and downs of the life transition.
While we don’t provide couples counseling at Move Forward, many individuals seek counseling to discuss how they can have healthier relationships. Our therapists can help you learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and other ways to have more positive relationships with others.
Moving into adulthood brings its own set of challenges. You may feel pressure to have a “career” or find your life partner. You may be unsure of making these big life decisions and may feel lost because you no longer have school or other adults in your life telling you what you should choose.
The period of adolescence can be exciting, but also challenging for many teens. Difficulties with friends, school, anxiety, depression, cutting, and substance abuse are all common issues for this group. Due to a lack of life experience, teens may not know how to manage these problems which is why therapy can be especially helpful.
Reach out today to get started. Our supportive staff will help guide you through the scheduling process, discuss special requests and consult your insurance needs.
