Hello, I am LaToya J. Johnson, an NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of counseling experience. I have provided care to individuals with chronic mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, PTSD, racial identity issues, relationship concerns, intellectual disabilities, and substance abuse. The most common theoretical approaches I use in my work are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, and Person Center Therapy. I believe every person has a right to live a happy and fulfilled life.

In my 15 years of practice, I've found it most important to maintain fulfilling and satisfying relationships with those around them in order to maintain emotional health. In my experience, relational psychotherapy provides an atmosphere of empathy and attentiveness that elicits full disclosure of the experiences and events affecting the person seeking treatment. I see a therapeutic relationship as two people working together to forge a strong, collaborative, and secure relationship that can serve as a model for future relationships.

I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples. My practice is with children, adolescents and adults. Anxiety,depression, stress, and anger are among the problems I treat. I see children with ADHD, kids trying to cope with divorce, school, oppositional behavior, parenting and other issues. I work with couples to help them close the gap of their differences and enhance what works in their marriage. I have also been helping people who have a variety of problems in their lives as a result of their alcohol or drug abuse.

I am a licensed psychologist who has been in practice for 31 years. In addition to my graduate education, I have also completed 4 years of postdoctoral training in advanced psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy. I have worked with people who have experienced many different types of challenges and difficulties. My approach is patient and considerate, with the feelings of the person seeking help always paramount. I also offer executive, personal, and leadership coaching. Coaching focuses on building on strengths in making desired changes and improving performance. I also provide consultation to adopted persons, adoptive parents.

By looking at this profile, you have taken the first step in seeking therapy which may prove to be a life changer. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with children, adolescents and adults to help them make better life choices, to improve their relationships and to lead a happier and less stressful life.

I am a mental health counselor(MHC-LP). I graduated with my master's in both mental health counseling and school counseling. I have worked with a wide range of clients from children to adults and have experience working in both private practices and school districts.

Hello, and welcome. Soy una terapeuta de salud mental bilingüe (inglés/español). I’ve been working to help children and families in various roles for 10 years. It is an honor for me to translate that experience into the mental health field. I have worked with various populations to help by listening, offering feedback, and by helping them to discover a deeper knowledge about their emotional wellbeing. Are you feeling hurt, depressed, or anxious? Do you feel trapped in abusive relationships, complicated family dynamics, addiction, or trauma? Are you torn between choices, feeling alone, or struggling with grief and loss?

Life is unpredictable and can feel difficult to manage. It can feel like there is nobody to confide in resulting in feeling completely alone as if there is no light at the end of the tunnel. We all have a story to tell and our story is what makes us unique, but it does not define who we are. No matter what our story is there is always an opportunity to achieve the life we envision for ourselves. Therapy can help to provide the comfort, reassurance, and support to grow in the ways that we desire. Together we will work through challenges you’re facing by learning how to deal with these obstacles while exploring your true self.
