Hello! I am Karen Johnson, Licensed Professional Counselor. When you decide it is time to work with a therapist, it can be a frightening, daunting process.

More specifically, I work with women's issues, relational issues, self worth, trauma, depression, and anxiety.

I have learned that no one is immune to mental health stress, trauma, OR substance abuse. Most really can find recovery and wellness. In 2000, I began my career providing counseling services in a treatment center and have continued to specialize in coping methods vs. "using." Relationships are sacred. I work with all arrangements of families (CNM & polyamory). Expert family/couples counseling requires expert training. The Gottman Method is taught in three levels and I completed all three in 2017.

I like to have choices! As a therapist, I offer different modalities for my clients. I am trained in EFT (tapping), Breathwork for individuals/groups and Somatic therapy. As we experience life there are struggles, obstacles, transitions and adjustments. Some of these blocks are from childhood or adolescence and some are happening today.

Allowing someone to walk with you can be the first step.

Life can be challenging at all stages! In my work with late teens to adults, I have found a common denominator: they have all the potential within themselves to be who they want to be, but got lost along the way. I work with you to fight the urge to be perfect and do everything "right." Do you want to feel confident in your job? What direction to go in your sport? Decide if this relationship is right for you? Want to feel comfortable and confident in your body? Improve your relationship with food? Process trauma related to an eating disorder or relationship? If you're in one of these stages, we might be a good fit!
