Since I started working in mental health 29 years ago I have been helping those with trauma and addictions find solutions that worked for them. During that time I learned numerous evidence based approaches that helped those with anxiety, depression, family and interpersonal issues as well as grew in learning about and treating complex trauma and the interactions with compulsion disorders and addictions. I work with individuals over the age of 14 up and families with multiple challenges from integrating the blended family to addressing military deployments and reintegration. I work as an ally for LGBT+ community

Seeking support can feel vulnerable, but it is a brave first step towards understanding, healing, and growth. My approach to therapy is one of compassion and non-judgment with the goal of helping my clients learn to approach themselves in similar ways. I believe that the therapeutic space is sacred and I feel honored to be a witness to every person’s unique journey. I will never take for granted the trust that is placed in me when a person chooses to let me into the most vulnerable parts of themselves.

The journey to healing is rarely linear. It’s filled with highs, lows, and many moments of uncertainty. Life presents us with beautiful and painful realities and navigating them can be extremely challenging. We often move through the world using tools we’ve developed, both consciously and unconsciously, shaped by our identities, experiences, and environments. But what happens when those tools no longer serve us? My role is to help you untangle the thoughts, experiences and emotions that weigh you down, so you can reclaim your power and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling to you.

We aren’t meant to do life alone. Therapy is a unique process that can offer understanding, compassion, support, and challenge you. I believe that transformation and healing happen in the context of healthy relationships. Therapy can help you create the change you want in your life. Through this process you can learn skills and practices to develop resilience, boundaries, and work towards healing and overall wellness. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable space for you to come as you are, and to honor your needs by working towards your goals at your pace.

Hi, I'm Christy Johnson, LCSW and I specialize in helping people heal from past painful experiences and trauma, especially childhood and/or relational trauma. I use a mix of cognitive behavioral therapy, talk therapy, and body-based techniques stemming from somatic therapy. I pay special attention to how the nervous system and fight/flight response impacts our behavior and quality of life. I typically work with clients who have past painful experiences or trauma in their childhood or primary relationships and who would like to understand how those experiences impact them in the present.
