My name is Erik Johnston, and I am a depth therapist. Being a depth therapist means I explore inner feelings, thoughts, sensations and intuitions to create options and new ways of being in my client's inner and outer life.

My clients are sensitive, smart, and creative, but may find these strengths difficult to access and manage. As a result you may feel disconnected, anxious, and depressed. You may self medicate with alcohol, drugs, or food. I help people reconnect with themselves and use their strengths to build the lives they want and deserve.

For 15 years I have helped people navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions and adjustment issues. My clients have freed themselves from repetitive, self-defeating patterns and behaviors. They are now leading the lives they want and have found satisfaction in their relationships. Whether you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are ready to move in a new life direction, I can provide you with the support and resources to help you achieve your goal. I love helping clients discover their own strengths and successfully manage their wellness.

I bring the depth and breadth of fifty years of professional experience to people of all ages, life styles, and cultural and spiritual backgrounds. I work with individuals, couples or families creating a safe environment to reduce stress, anxiety and depression, release trauma and reduce both emotional and acute and chronic physical pain. I integrate holistic psychotherapy, neurobehavioral approaches, family systems, dream and imagery work and psychological type. Listening carefully to your needs, I will work with you, helping you acquire tools to life a more fully empowered and happy life.

Perhaps with today’s latest challenges you feel out of balance, stuck in some places, and in need of a fresh approach that honors your strengths and personal values. My clients know who they are and are motivated towards continued growth. Many are beginning to struggle with loss as they, their friends, and their family age. Some have never learned to cope. Some manage using chemicals but now recognize that these strategies are unsustainable.

Do you feel stressed, worried or anxious? Maybe angry, frustrated, overwhelmed or exhausted? Perhaps you feel desperate for change and believe life can be better, but are not sure how. It can be painful to cope with all these emotions, especially when you feel alone. Asking for help can be scary, but the benefit of receiving support is invaluable. It takes courage to seek change and to ask for help and you’ve already started taking steps on this path. You’ve said “enough is enough”. You started looking for help on this website.

"Be the best of what humanity has to offer".I love being a therapist and this quote inspires me as a person and in my craft.

Hi there! My name is Ash Nobles (they/them) and I'd love to walk through therapy together. Are you wrestling with sexuality, or do you want a therapist who is aware of sexuality’s impact on life?

My history is working in mental illness based settings, engaging trauma stories with neurodivergent young adults, and is as an advocate with teenagers and the LGBTQIA+ community. You don't have to do this alone.
