Therapists in Seattle, WA

Therapy is a unique experience for each person, and I do my best to keep this in mind each time I meet with someone for the first time who has sought to begin that process with me. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety and stress, a lack of direction, a major life change, difficulties in your relationship or any other barrier to a life filled with satisfaction, meaning and purpose; I will meet you where you are at on that journey and work together with you on goals that you find most important.

Alexander Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has over 14 years of experience working with clients of all ages. He specializes in treating depression, anxiety, anger issues, stress, life transitions, women's issues, men's issues, personality disorders, and much more.

My ideal client is one who is willing to be uncomfortable, as growth and change happen outside of our comfort zone. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to be curious about themselves and want to create a collaborative relationship with their therapist. I place a high value on working to understand where each person has come from, to validate their experiences, and then work next to them toward their goals. Change is difficult and I deeply honor the growing pains that can come with change. Therefore, I also enjoy empowering and supporting clients to find the correct tools that can help foster their wanted growth.

Sometimes life can feel a bit overwhelming and cause you to feel alone. I believe that asking for help takes courage and is a powerful move in making a difference in your life.

My therapeutic approach focuses on fostering healing and growth and emphasizing the value of relationships and connection. I strive to create a collaborative and empathetic safe space in which clients feel valued and empowered to explore their experiences. Approaching sessions with genuine curiosity, I aim to provide a therapeutic relationship that inspires clients to engage in opportunities for mutual growth, authenticity, and connection. Therapy can be the space for us to cultivate belonging and resilience. You are not alone; we can do this together. My goal is to understand the client holistically,

Life comes at us fast and we’re not always ready for it but that’s okay! I believe that we all crave connection with our peers, friends, family, and partners. And when we aren’t working on those connections, we’re working to build our connection with ourself. To fully work through that and make progress, I use a direct approach in helping clients address concerns that may arise from their connections with others or with themself. I believe that the most progress can be made when it’s accompanied with empathy and unconditional positive regard - two pillars of therapeutic work to foster growth and a sense of safety.

I am excited to explore your story with you.
