“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” - Carl Rogers
Hello and Welcome! My name is Lisa Johnson (she/her) and I am a Mental Health Therapist.
However it is that you have reached this point of looking for therapeutic support, I am honored to potentially join you on this next step of your journey. It is no small task to acknowledge the desire, and need within, that has lead you to this moment.
I look forward to the opportunity of sitting with you in the stories of your life and offering you my empathic and reflective attention.
My Approach
My therapeutic approach begins and ends within the relationship. My belief is that change occurs within the therapeutic relationship when a solid, relational foundation is created within the bounds of authentic connection, trust, and safety. The core of my work is based in Relational Theory and Narrative Work. From this perspective I see the importance of uncovering themes and patterns that took place in past relationships, and family of origin dynamics, as a way to gain personal perspective and empowerment, as well as to provide the potential to create healthier patterns in current relationships and life situations.
