More about Minerva
- 14 years' experience

- LCSW
My name is Minerva M. King, LCSW, and I am a Survivor. Over a decade after earning my master’s degree with honors from Florida Atlantic University I specialize in therapies which include Rapid Trauma Resolution/Hypnosis, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Victims Services, and Certified Sex Offender Treatment, among others. I am also a Qualified Clinical Supervisor securing competency, knowledge and skill in the next generation of Social Workers. All endeavors dedicated toward the improvement of mental health wellness for a better quality of life for all who are ready to realize their potential.
For almost 15 years, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, I serviced individuals and families, face to face in agency and individual private practice settings. Confident that I could make a greater difference in assisting survivors of the pandemic, I transitioned my delivery of services into an E-Counseling practice. My hope is to offer an extended reach of accessible, affordable, and accountable therapeutic services, while respecting your safety and circumstances during this time of crisis.
If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief and loss (of any type), substance use and/or abuse or trauma, ect..., and are ready for real change, this is an opportunity to rewrite your experience and explore effective options toward a new normal and extraordinary life.
Throughout my practice I’ve had the privilege of serving 1000’s of clients, and many of their families. The most rewarding outcomes in treatment began with negative narratives transitioning into the impressive development of emotional intelligence, hence allowing for newly forged positive story lines. In working with you, I utilize a strength-based approach focused on empowering mind, body and spirit. A commitment that I myself made many years ago in my journey toward healing and happiness. Change can only take place when awareness is achieved. Awareness is the key to improving understanding to self; improving relationship with others; increasing management of thoughts, emotions and behavior.
During our time together I will encourage you to engage in exercises related to the many tools and techniques discovered during our sessions. All resources I provide you are specific to your goals. All information discussed during our sessions will be private and confidential unless there is reason to believe that you, a child, elderly or others may be at risk of being harmed. You will be sharing as much or as little sensitive and intimate information with me, your therapist. throughout our sessions. Initially you may not be used to sharing your most private and intimate details with someone not personally familiar to you. It is not my role as a clinician to make judgments, give advice or force solutions. Rather the therapist’s role is to help you find the best course of action taking into consideration your beliefs, culture, lifestyle, value and revealed circumstances. In therapy the focus is always on you. You may find yourself enjoying the therapeutic time that is solely devoted to you.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mrs Minnie us a wonderful therapist, has accumulated a wealth of knowledge that she is happy to share , i had learnt so many valuable skills from her that helped me live a fuller better life
My therapist is the best at making me feel heard and seen. I would not be able to survive some of my days without her.
Minnie is kind and extremely patient and absolutely focused on your growth and development. She has strategic sessions with you that really allow for your to dwell within and practice with intention the areas of your life you're trying to work on. She is a 10/10 therapist.
Getting connected with Mrs Minnie helped me grow , understand my self better and the people around me . My life is fuller and better, thanks to her way of making me see beyond things , words, feelings … I am so thankful!
Minnie has changed my life in ways I never knew were possible. I always go back to her for continuation of therapy as i find needed
Minnie is amazing and such a blessing. I have so many more tools to use to manage my mental well being because of her. I am grateful for the connection.
Sought care from Minerva back at the end of 2021. After feeling nervous about the care I had from a therapist back in middle school, I was iffy. But I took to Minnie like a duck to the water. She was incredibly insightful. The parts of me I never understood, she helped me better understand. That alone gave me the strength to work through my mental health. If it weren't for financial hardships, I'd honestly still choose to have Minerva for my mental health care. Above anyone else. She is definitely someone who can be trusted to help you where it is needed. I'd give a 10 out of 5 stars.
Minnie has helped me change my life for the better! I look forward to our future sessions
I have worked with Minerva since October 2020. Minnie is a fantastic therapist who I would highly recommend to anyone. She is attentive, caring, understanding, and wonderful to talk to. She went the extra mile for me to make my therapy experience comfortable and personalized. Minnie offers great support, flexible hours, and is quick to answer messages on the app. Minnie is friendly and hilarious, she knows how to cheer you on during good days and support you through the bad. I've learned valuable skills from Minnie, I am sad to leave her but proud of my growth since beginning my therapy journey with her.
Minerva has been a great help
She gives it to you straight. Love her
I always feel seen when talking to her.
I connected with Minnie in January 2022 and Im glad I did! She is the most patient, kind (although she does tells you exactly how it is!), most understanding and knowledgeable therapist I've worked with. She has helped me through all of my challenges that Ive faced this year. She's easy talk to and its like she already knows what's going on before I get to say anything. I love that Minnie doesn't hold back and she sometimes tells you relatable stories on her experience through life challenges, which makes it comfortable to open up to her. All and all, she is an absolute joy to talk to. I have a long way to go in my journey but Im glad that Minnie is there to guide me through it.
Minerva Kong is honestly the best therapist I have had the pleasure to work with. She is responsible for me being able to turn my mental health around for the better. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional.
Mrs King has been a great help in helping me understanding some things about myself. She challenges me to break off negative reliances that I have used in the past. Very straightforward and very diligent with getting to the issue that I had.
An absolute gem of a therapist. It was my first positive experience when it came to exploring therapy. Minnie has a way with dissecting and compartmentalizing your issues without neglecting the big picture of things. She is very attentive and is hands on with helping you see patterns you didn’t even know existed. Minnie has played a pivotal role with me tackling taboo issues within my community such as dealing with grief, inner child trauma, codependency, and guilt. I undoubtedly believe Minnie is the ideal therapist without an appetite to do the work. She stays on top of you. And keeps you accountable. I recommend her to anyone waiting to make a move on beginning their healing journey. Just give her a try and let the ensuing results take place.
Professional wisdom that extends to a warm and safe supportive virtual space for me to share. Thank you
I have changed for the better. Minnie has turned my life around and has made me feel special and important and worthy by telling me i have to love myslef and more. She is understanding and empathetic. Pays attention to everything discussed. She was truly made to do this, to help people. Thank you for everything Minnie!!!❤️
She’s one of the best therapist. She doesn’t beat around the bush and helps with an array of different Methods. Best therapist 10/10!!
I worked with Ms. Minerva for 4 weeks and during that short amount of time she helped me discover some things about myself and helped me find a way to address issues without blowing up. She's great. She has that auntie vibe which makes her easy to talk to.
Minnie helped me so much more in our time together than my previous therapist I had for over a year. She is wonderful at making you feel comfortable enough to talk. I appreciate her so much and her positive direction I'm heading from her help.
Minerva is very professional and understanding me as an individual . She is never judgmental and actually listens to and remembers our previous conversation. I am extremely to have Minerva as my therapist and would highly recommend her.
I've never experienced therapy before, and my sessions with Minnie have been amazing! She is great at picking up on patterns and quirks quickly and asking great questions that get you to think. Talking with her is always a great time and often feels like I'm chatting with a good friend. If you're new to therapy and looking for a therapist who is kind but will also challenge you to dig deep, Minnie is a great fit.
Since this review isn't just for Minnie but for people who wonder what it'll be like working with her, I'll try to give my personal experience and some thoughts about being one of her clients as well. The first thing you'll notice about Minnie is her energy. She is invested and involved in whatever you tell her, and you'll notice this right away because she tends to ask hard-hitting questions that will make you do a double take from the get-go. She laughs a lot, and won't hide her surprise, discontentment and care-- any of her emotions, really-- when it comes to hearing what you have to say. She will also be writing notes or messages usually to keep track of what you or other clients are saying, but rest assured that she's always paying attention. Be prepared for a pretty no-filter therapist as well, if you're matched with her. She will match your energy and your communication style if you're someone who prefers talk therapy or exercises to be applied in therapy (emotional processing, EMDR, so on). Sometimes you will have to be direct with her about what you'd like to receive in therapy. A majority of our sessions were simply talk therapy, but when I told her that I wished to work on application or practicing things to empower myself more, she started incorporating things like worksheets, guides and in-session emotional processing or breathing exercises. She also encouraged me to write and share journals with her frequently and often- and I'm not sure she read them in detail 100 percent of the time (because mine are basically novels haha), but she definitely showed she at least glanced through them. I personally started my sessions with her focusing on inner-child work, and you will find that this is her forte because she will always be able to find a way to circle things back to your inner child (and rightfully so). You will see her use her CBT techniques early on. I will say that as our conversations shifted more towards relationship-related therapy, I started seeing her personal views come out more. I don't mind that, but if you find you're uncomfortable hearing about personal views or with having the rapport of someone like a guardian or friend, be aware that she can use affectionate names or words to show how she cares (she called me "sweet lady" and things like that, which I don't mind but someone else might). She's still very professional, but at times she felt more like a friend than a therapist, so be aware of that as you're doing sessions with her or if that possibility makes you uncomfortable. When it comes to topics she might not be as familiar with, be prepared for her to send articles, guides or links to resources that might help you when she can't give as much advice. She might also end up seeming overwhelming with some textbook therapy jargon at the beginning, so let her know if that seems too much- she's very good at listening. She will respond to journals faster than lengthy individual text messages, so be prepared for that, too. She made it clear that she often replies to/checks messages twice or maybe three times a day, so if you're someone who wants more frequent text communication than that, keep an eye on this point. I've loved working with Minnie, and she's given me quite a few tools to focus on advocating for myself as I struggled through life, relationship and career changes. I'm someone who struggles with asserting my needs and focusing on myself, so her can-do attitude about taking care of myself was always inspiring and made me feel better. Overall, if you want someone who's fun and will give you a personal experience that is focused on untangling your inner child wounds and empowering you, Minnie definitely is for you. Thank you so so much, Minnie, for all of your energy, care, and compassion!! I love and appreciate you for every single step you've helped me take on my mental health journey and I hope our paths cross again soon.
I love my counselor
She is the best, most supportive person!
She’s great
She is AMAZING. I feel like I’m such a short period of time she already understands me so much and knows what I need.
She is a unicorn who has changed how I viewed therapy and I really value her techniques and perspective
Great therapist! Listens, is honest, and sets goals.
Minerva is great. Within a few minutes of meeting me and hearing about my life, she nailed a lot of the issues I have and need to work through. It was the first time I met with a therapist who I felt really got me.
Minnie is a Blessing. She understands and flows in her gift as a therapist. She is intentional, compassionate, empathetic, emotionally intelligent, knowledgeable, and thorough. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to heal and needs tools to continue to heal beyond therapy.
She’s been very helpful and I’ll always appreciate her
Minnie is a wonderful therapist. I've been seeing her for almost a year. I came to BetterHelp because of two goals I tried to accomplish. Let me tell you. She helped me pretty much accomplish both! What's more, she helped me to see myself clearer and better. She helped me to accept all parts of me: my childhood, what impact it could have had on me. I refused to admit it or confront it for years. But with Minnie's help, I came to accept who I am, my past. She is more like a friend than a therapist, chatting with her was so easy and lovely. She always has been so encouraging, and giving me a different perspective on things. She definitely has made me a more confident and stronger person! She was there for me when my life seemed messy, I couldn't see things clearly. She helped and guided me through. I highly recommend her! Anyone would be so lucky to have Minnie as their therapist! I mean it.
She's great.
She’s the best. She’s helped me through so much. Highly recommend.
Minnie is THE BEST! I am so grateful to have spend over a year seeing her. Across this time her services have helped me learn so much about myself and what I need to do to make my relationships as happy as they can be. She has helped me realize so much about myself and has provided so many tools to help me become the person I want to be. She provided valuable tools on attachment and codependency. She also really helped me learn about non violent communication and helped me apply better ways to communicate my needs. LOVE HER!!!! Thank you! Cathy
Minnie has guide me on becoming a better me. I am so thankful for her.
Minnie is a joy to talk to. She’s a great listener and she understands my situation. She also sends great tools and worksheets to help me cope. She also checks on me during the week!
I love talking with her. She makes my soul feel seen. This is the first counselor I have had that felt like they fit who I am and has given me true insight into myself.
Minnie understands me better than I understand myself, and idk what I would do without her! These past few months have been a huge reveal for me and she’s been with me every step of the way. Thank you for being the best, Minnie! ❤️
Minnie is an outstanding therapist. She is kind, patient , supportive and very skilled and knowledgeable in her field of work. She has helped me better understand myself and given me tools to put my life in a better place.
I have seen so much growth in myself since working with Minnie. She’s been supportive and understanding. Although I was not excited about therapy initially, I couldn’t be more grateful to have been matched with a therapist I really connect with.
I was nervous about getting back into therapy after several years, but Minerva has put those worries to rest. She gets right to the point about the roots of the issue - providing trustworthy expertise and sincerity in her responses.
She has made me realize things about myself i did not realize i had but had since childhood . She has made a positive impact on my life this far and i have not had many sessions!
Has boundless energy, engages you , able to give you insight into why you may experience the troubles and somehow at the same time ( that is her amazing skill) gives you ways, multiple ways to work with the issue. She gives you immediate ways to work with the problem but also gives you tools for long term , tools that will help you thrive, master more easily the challenges that life gives you .
Minnie is very perceptive, compassionate and knowledgeable. She is extremely easy to talk to and provides valuable direct insight. She is present in every session and help you to better understand how therapy is helping you specifically. Minnie is responsive to outreach. This is my first experience with therapy, and I am grateful to have been connected to her. This experience is making a profound impact on my life and it is helping me to address issues and take the necessary steps I need to take for emotional healing with support. I am grateful.
Minnie is one of my biggest cheerleaders! She has gotten me through one of my most challenging times in my life. I feel safe and supported with her. She is amazing.
Minnie has been such an amazing help in my mental health journey. I leave every session feeling like I’ve learned and grown into the person I know I am an want to be.
She’s awesome.
I found Minnie through Better Help and I feel like she we meant for me. I've been in a number of different therapies with many different therapists over 25 years. In the few short months we've been together, I have seen a DRASTIC change in my mental health and, subsequently, my physical health. Minnie uses many different techniques to allow me to feel safe, heard, respected and with the space to truly heal. I wish everyone could have someone like her in their mental health journey. I truly could not conjure up a more perfect fit for me.
Minnie is the best! She is very experienced and gives you a variety of therapy options. I feel comfortable sharing anything with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Minnie is a very knowledgeable therapist and has helped greatly. I am very thankful for her.
I love Minerva King!!! She has been wonderful for my growth in progress and I'm very excited for further future sessions so I can get back to being 100% happy with myself and I'm glad that I have ran into her to do so!
Minnie is the far best therapist I know and ever opened up too and felt really confident and comfortable with. I had a lot of other therapist and I had to pull back and cancel and find some one else . I thank God I found Minnie King ! She’s the best and she’s very supportive! Trust me I’m no one to open up too ! I kept a lot of shit to myself and even from family and wife ! I trusted no one and I still trust no one , but with Minnie it’s different! I can tell her everything and it took me a while to do that. She’s the coolest and most professional therapist I know ! But to me she’s more then a therapist. She’s my friend and the one I can rely on when I need to express myself or talk to some one ! Thank you Minnie
Minnie is an extremely empathetic, funny and understanding person. She has really helped me a lot working on my anxiety and she always has the right words to make me feel better. She will promptly offer additional counseling when necessary which made me feel fully supported. I'm very grateful to have had her!
I have tried different therapists but Minerva is the only one I have truly connected to. She is genuine and kind but will also give you some tough love when needed. My life has changed for the better since being a part of her counselling service. Cannot recommend her enough.
Minnie has been such a help the past couple of times I’ve spoken with her. She listens and hears me and understands my thought process in a way I hadn’t thought of before. I would definitely recommend her!
I've only had 2 virtual sessions with Minnie so far but I already feel so optimistic about her style of counseling. She's direct, which works so well with how I receive information. She's also supportive and kind. She doesn't beat around the bush and seems very focus driven to give me the best out of therapy. I'm looking forward to building a long term relationship with her but, at just 2 sessions in, I'd already highly recommend her to someone who is ready to get to the heart of the matter. I'm results oriented and her techniques are perfectly in line with that. Looking forward to seeing how much we can accomplish together.
I started counselling with Minnie to overcome issues of self-esteem, self-confidence, anxiety, depression...and some others I can't quite put my finger on at the moment. I found our sessions to be extremely helpful as she is a very patient, attentive, genuine, and understanding. I think that facing underlying mental health issues is quite a difficult thing, but with the right environment, tools, and support system, you are sure to succeed in your journey of healing. During our sessions, I felt seen, understood, capable, human. I fought to hold back my tears a few times but inevitably gave in! Minnie has a sense of humour that is sure to bring you joy, and a vibrant personality to match. She has helped me uncover and address several problem areas of mine - some even stemming from childhood. There has been an active effort to stay in touch, and an endless supply of supportive messages - she truly goes above and beyond to help me better myself! As a result, I now feel absolutely confident in my abilities, my worth, and my boundaries, my relationships (current and future). I am simply full of gratitude! There are many tools that I can use in my future to help me become the best version, and truest version of myself that I can be. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a counsellor who can really tailor the sessions for you - and she will do it without you even noticing or asking! My experience with Minnie is the main reason why I advocate for this platform! I wish that more individuals will have the opportunity to sit a session with her.
Minnie has been wonderful at helping me realise my full potential and address my concerns. I've tried counselling before but never felt truly heard. With Minnie, we've been able to discuss my obstacles and issues and work together on them.
Working with Minerva is so beneficial. She gives great advice and holds me accountable. She is exactly who in need right now. She gives great tools. She listens. I knew in less than 5 minutes we would work well together. I'm so grateful to have been connected with her.
Minnie is a very nice person who cares about you. She is good at giving you a varieties of therapies to tackle your issue.
She is a great listener and very approachable and relatable.
Minerva has a way of making me see things in a way that I've never have before and I really appreciate and am grateful for the work we are doing
She’s the best counselor I’ve ever had. Her positive vibes, her genuine words, the advice she gives and the language she uses to make you understand so many things, including sometimes a thought you have but don’t know how to express it. She has an amazing aura and has been an amazing light for me.
The advice and guidance I’ve received from Minnie over the last few months has been invaluable in bettering my understanding on how to cope with situations, triggers as well as my own emotions and reactions. Minnie is very attentive, understanding, kind and compassionate while providing genuine professional advice and the resources required to reaching set goals. We’ve worked together closely and the experience has taught me so much going forward that I’d recommend her expertise time and time again.
Highly recommend. Minnie listens with empathy, kindness and warmth and have helped me with anxiety and grief. It is evident that she has extensive experience and capacity to help individuals. She has helped me process old and new emotions, and offered me practical tools that made a big difference for me in a short time.
She's amazing and makes me feel heard, offers a lot of support and helps me understand myself.
I was hesitant to start therapy for a variety of reasons. However my main anxieties stemmed from the fear that a therapist might not know how to deal with my internal crazy. Eventually, I took the courage to start therapy with Minnie and she has exceeded my expectations. Her outstanding knowledge and expertise blew me away, ultimately shifting my mind set from complete isolation into a realm of hope, positivity and mental well-being. My conditions with trauma, OCD and anxiety had taken over my life, and I never thought cognitive behavioral therapy would make a difference in such a short amount of time. Yet with Minnie’s unquestionable sympathy and support, I noticed a huge spiritual and psychological growth within me.
