About

We listen, act, and transform

I'm Dr. Aja King, LPCC—a licensed clinical counselor based in Minneapolis, MN, and the founder of Brave Defiance Consulting. My work is built on two core pillars of wellness: Bridging the Gap: Helping you discover your tribe and overcome loneliness. Rest as Liberation: Embracing restorative practices that empower and transform. Through transformative retreats like Awaken the Heart: A Self-Love Retreat and Let's Stay Together, our couples' retreat, I guide individuals and couples in breaking free from isolation, deepening connections, and nurturing self-worth. Take the first step in your wellness journey—schedule an appointment today. Let's walk this transformative path together! Peace & Love, Dr. Aja King, LPCC
