Every person has inherent creativity and a capacity to thrive. My role is to help connect you to your existing strengths and to help you try out new tools. When words are not enough, we can turn to more creative processes. Art therapy and EMDR are modalities that engage the body and mind, what we feel and think. Both modalities help us not only think differently, but also feel something new and healing.

I have continued my clinical work providing therapy services to children and adults who have experienced trauma and/or significant adverse life events. One of my passions in this field is the healing/ growth/ transformative experience that an individual can have through trauma work. This work is deeply meaningful to me and it has led me to seek advanced training on the treatment of trauma via evidenced based practices as well as emerging and established therapeutic models. I combine my advanced trauma training and the use of solution-focused, mindfulness, and strength-based therapeutic interventions in my clinical approach.

You know something isn't working.
Maybe you're successful on paper but feel disconnected — from your partner, your kids, yourself. Maybe you're going through a divorce and the ground has shifted under your feet. Maybe anger keeps showing up when you don't want it to, or you're stuck in a cycle of anxiety that you've been powering through for years.
You've been handling things on your own for a long time. But "handling it" isn't the same as actually dealing with it — and you're starting to feel the cost.

My name is Vivian E. Johnson, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I predominately utilize the psychodynamic approach. I work with individuals, families, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and trauma. I help clients recognize their recurring unhelpful thought, emotional and behavioral patterns, and the defense mechanisms they've developed to avoid distress and cope with stress. This insight may allow them to begin changing those patterns and develop more helpful and healthier ways to cope with life stressors.

Therapy is all about self-acceptance and rediscovering yourself, and I work in multicultural and biracial issues. In therapy with me, I will learn about you as you are your own self-expert; you know yourself best. From there, we learn what has been working and not working for you. The relationship we build in therapy is essential to the effectiveness of your treatment.
