Hi! I'm Rue Johnson, a Wilsonville-based Walk-and-Talk (hiking) therapist and owner of Hopeful Horizons LLC. I love meeting my clients in an outdoor setting so that we can incorporate the healing power of both nature and physical movement into the therapy process. I work with clients who are processing all types of trauma (complex, developmental/childhood, single incident) as well as those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions and grief and loss. Besides meeting on the trail, I also meet clients in my office or via telehealth, depending on my client's preference.

Life can feel like a lot—whether you’re a young adult finding your footing or a parent navigating the highs and lows of your child's growth. I provide a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out.
Instead of just "talking about problems," we’ll use a mix of art, nature, YogaCalm, and collaborative problem-solving to build a toolkit that actually works for your life. My goal is to help you (or your child) move past just "getting by" and start building a life that feels balanced, resilient, and authentically yours.
Let’s turn the pressure into progress, together.

I primarily practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), grounding my work in evidence-based approaches while remaining flexible to the needs of each client. When clinically appropriate and aligned with a client’s values, I integrate spiritual exploration, narrative therapy, and deeper somatic work to support meaning-making, embodiment, and healing. I approach therapy through a lens of critical psychology, attending to the impact of systems, power, identity, and context on mental health. I view therapy as a collaborative process, working alongside clients to co-create goals and interventions that honor their lived experience.

I offer trauma, anxiety, and somatic therapy for adults seeking greater stability, self-understanding, and meaningful change. You may find yourself feeling anxious, emotionally reactive, shut down, or stuck in patterns that are difficult to change despite insight and effort. Many people come to therapy sensing that past experiences or relational wounds continue to shape how they feel about themselves and others. Therapy offers a space to slow down, explore these patterns with curiosity, and begin developing greater stability, self-understanding, and choice in how you move through your life.

Everyone has seasons of difficulty, confusion, or moments where forward progress in life and relationships seem to come to a stop. These experiences, while deeply painful, can be harnessed as moments of growth in our lives that cause us to understand ourselves, our faith, our relationships, and the world around us to a much greater degree.
