Meet Edie

Edie Lawrence (neè King) , MA, LPC

I have worked in the Human Service field for over a decade serving in a number of different treatment settings including: community mental health, substance abuse, non-profit, academia, and private practice. My varied experiences have equipped me with a trauma-informed and multifaceted approach that enables me to effectively support individuals with diverse backgrounds, challenges, and needs.

In 2020, I founded King Counseling Services (KCS) and authored my first book, ‘My Peace is Most Important."‘ In addition to leading KCS, I also serve as an Adjunct Professor at my alma mater Eastern University, as well as a Provider & Program Developer for Black Men Heal. It’s in these roles that I get to take my gifts beyond the therapy room and actively help reduce mental health stigma in underserved populations and help nurture and guide the next generation of Helpers & Healers.

As a Speaker and Trainer, I pour my knowledge, wisdom, and life lessons into every engagement, creating an environment where people feel seen, enlighted, and empowered. I am passionate about the work I get to do and I see it as a privilege and incredible responsibility. My mission is to help, heal, & serve so that those connected to me may evolve into better versions of themselves.
