Welcome! I am passionate about treating teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety , self-harm, and PTSD. My goal is to support you in developing tools to understand your emotions, tolerate difficult emotions, have more fulfilling relationships, and create your life worth living. I have extensive background in using DBT, CBT, and mindfulness approaches. I also believe that providing a safe, non-judgmental relationship is key to the process of healing.

Do you feel pressure to “have it all together” and wonder how everyone else manages to find balance? Is your mind racing with thoughts or do you lack the energy to do anything at all? You might feel stuck personally or professionally but unsure how to make a move forward out of fear, self-doubt, or shame. With the stress of today's world, I help people take a closer look at what no longer serves them and how to build the life and relationships you want.

As a therapist, I look for the basic goodness of human beings and try to bring clients having locus of control in their lives and share perspectives leading clients to feel liberated so they find the meaning of life; fulfillment and happiness. This takes practice, as our minds naturally scan for the negative, but if we try, we can almost always find something good about you and others which will lead us to heal and peace and may bring harmony and joy to our life. Personally, I enjoy reading books regarding history and philosophy. I have a strong passion for helping children and adults, including parenting issues.

Maybe you've been stuck and unable to see your way forward, or you feel a burden you can't quite relieve yourself of. Often times we can find our way with the support of family or friends. But sometimes we need the support and encouragement of a certified professional. Developing a relationship based on genuine care, without judgement or assumptions, can serve as a catalyst to deepen your sense of self, or wade through sadness or long time anxiety .

"You are not broken. You are breaking through." Do you feel like no one understands you or can truly help you the way you need? There are times that our perceptions of life situations differs from those around us, causing us to feel unheard or unsupported. These are the times we need support the most. My passion for helping others led me to become a therapist. I believe that every individual has magnificent inner resources that need support in coming to light. My goal as your therapist is to make you feel empowered to create the best life for yourself.

You may be feeling not good enough, stuck in a toxic relationship, uncomfortable asking for help, scared of conflict, intimidated, taken advantage of. You can achieve, tough it out, and make other people happy, but aren’t really happy yourself. You seem FINE on the outside, but anxiety lingers underneath. You want enjoyment, connection, and to be respected.

I truly believe that every human being can benefit from and improve their life if they are open to therapy. We all have messaging we tell ourselves that is unhealthy and can lead to negative self-talk, lower self-esteem, anxiety , depression, and stop us from living our best life. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for all my clients to look at themselves and find new ways to be in this world. I provide an open space for clients to explore and share in a nonjudgmental place and ask the hard questions in life.

Are you struggling with distressing symptoms of anxiety and depression that keep you from doing the things you want to do? Do things that seem simple trigger strong emotional reactions and cause you to lose out on the rewarding and enjoyable things in life? Is fear keeping you from going certain places, doing certain things or interacting with certain people? Have you experienced trauma? My philosophy for therapy includes an individualized approach based on your unique strengths, needs and goals. My approach is holistic, integrating symptom reduction, physical health, relationships, and spiritual growth.

I am here to listen to you. I work with children, teens, and adults to support exploration of difficult issues and life changes. Often what brings someone to seek counseling, either for themselves or for their child, is being faced with a challenge they need support navigating and resolving. This issue may result from an atypical experience or be more pervasive, and can bring about feelings of anger, depression, anxiety , low self-worth, or communication issues. Taking the risk to ask for help is the first step on the road toward healing and growth.

Parents, are you worried that your teen may be stressed or depressed? Are they refusing to communicate with you, staying up real late at night, becoming defiant and or have excessive use of gaming or social media? Has social distancing caused them to isolate from friends and family and sleep all day? Have they seemed to have lost all motivation and have no structure to their daily life? My name is Tametra Johnson and I am the founder of Jacobs Ladder Therapies. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years experience working with teens and mental health.
