King, LPC, has operated as a program manager at Specialty Counseling & Consulting LLC in Cheyenne, Wyoming, since 2018. Primarily active as a licensed professional counselor since 2015, he maintains the oversight of various treatment programs and procedures, including attending to the needs of his clients, evaluating the severity of their substance abuse challenges, and training clinicians and interns. Prior to his current endeavors, Mr. King worked in similar roles throughout Wyoming at SWWRAP, Capstone Counseling and Recovery, the University of Wyoming, and Southwest Counseling Service, beginning in 2000. Mr. King became involved in his profession after struggling with addiction for almost three decades. To wit, he worked hard to overcome the challenges he faced and decided to reorient his life toward helping those in need of similar assistance. After receiving an Associate of Arts in psychology from Western Wyoming Community College in 2003, he went on to attend the University of Wyoming, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology in 2006 and a Master of Science in counseling in 2008.

In accounting for his success, he largely credits the efforts of his personal mentor, Judy Johnson, under whose tutelage he learned a great deal in his field. Among his most cherished accomplishments, he is particularly proud to have given back selflessly to the community of those in recovery. Looking toward the future, Mr. King aspires to maintain his role as a substance abuse program manager and avail himself on behalf of others for as long as he is able. GARY R.
