Immediate appointments availiable. My name is Hilary Johnson and I am a licensed Mental Health Therapist (LMHC). Making the decision to come to therapy is not an easy one whether it is for you or your child. I am here to help by providing a safe, compassionate, and judgement free space. As a client centered therapist my goal is to focus on you and what you need out of therapy. I specialize in children (age 12 and up), teens, and young adults who have experienced trauma in their life. I also specialize in the LGBTQIA population, as an identified therapist.

You’ve consulted Reddit. You’ve questioned ChatGPT. Maybe you even went old-school and hit up WebMD. And, yet, life is still meh. I’m only a lowly human being (and one with OCD at that), but I’d like to help, because life is too short to be miserable. If you want to rediscover what it means to be human at a time when the world seems to be losing its humanity, we’d be a good fit. If you like to laugh, we’ll be a great fit! I approach therapy in an informal way, because counseling doesn’t have to be so uptight. (As an added bonus, I'm totally open to you renaming me like a chatbot, but you'll get the best results by calling me Andy.)

As a therapist, I believe past experiences impact our present beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with couples and individuals to help promote change and healing by increasing awareness and insight into these experiences. I utilize a Psychodynamic and Trauma-based lens to incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness approaches. I am also trained in EMDR and utilize this for processing difficult emotions, memories, and body sensations.

Life can feel heavy when changes start to pile up. Whether you’re navigating workplace or corporate stress, performance anxiety, grief, a major life transition, anger, or trying to strengthen your relationships, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or stuck. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and find clarity.

Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and find clarity.
If you’re feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, especially if past wounds like abandonment or codependency weigh on you, you deserve a compassionate space to heal. Whether you’re a teen navigating complex emotions or an adult seeking healthier connections, you want to feel understood, safe, and empowered to reclaim your peace and joy. You hope for relief that lasts, clearer communication, and the courage to be vulnerable again without fear or judgment.
I offer a warm, empathetic approach using mindfulness and trauma-sensitive techniques tailored to your unique story.

Compassionate support to address the painful challenges of life - the most difficult things we face in life don’t have simple solutions; we need the right kind of help to find our way through. If you experience depression, anxiety, addiction, neurodiversity, or are a loved one of someone with these challenges, I can help. Your values and goals are important; it is never my role to tell you what to do. One of my favorite things is watching clients grow and their strengths emerge through the process of therapy. Clients see more of the good in themselves, which increases confidence and energizes healing.

I use a trauma informed attachment lens to work with clients in my practice and utilize Emotion Focused techniques for individuals, couples, and families. Therapy should be a place where you can show up as yourself (sometimes a more true version than you can in your day to day) with someone who will support you with compassion and honesty. I have completed the Gottman level 1 training for work with couples, and training in Emotion Focused Therapy, and I am also trained in EMDR as a way to find relief from trauma.

Feeling out of touch with yourself or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you can be incredibly isolating. Whether you're navigating disordered eating, anxious attachment, or low self-worth, these struggles often reflect deeper emotional needs rooted in early experiences.

We all experience bumps and bruises throughout our lives. These bumps and bruises can damage our relationship and alignment with ourselves. We can feel lost, aimlessly wandering around trying to rediscover ourselves. You don't deserve to walk through life just surviving, but rather living with vibrancy and empowered by self-worth. I know how daunting this can be when you have lost sight of who you once were or who you want to become. I work from an open-minded, non-judgmental framework. I believe in a true therapeutic partnership with my clients. Growth fosters growth! Let's grow together to become the best versions of ourselves.

Hello, I am genuinely happy that our paths have crossed. During my years of practice, I have noticed that therapy is sought out when situations in our life are not feeling right. Often this has been going on for years. You are not alone! Change can be overwhelming; know that you have already taken the first step to healing by recognizing that something needs to change. You do not have to continue to feel the way you are right now. There is hope for a better and brighter future.
