Each person is a unique individual with hisher own perception and experience of life's journey. I create a safe and respectful place for each individual to share their issues at a pace they are comfortable with.

My name is Kristen Johnson, and I utilize a whole-person approach, integrating the mind, body, and soul to support healing through evidence-based practices such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), motivational interviewing, positive psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), active imagination, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I am collaborative and interactive in session, and I understand that you are the expert in your own life. I have a Master’s in Counseling and another Master’s in Depth Psychology, so I may also incorporate dreamwork, astrology, myth, and Jungian concepts like the shadow in our work together. I have worked in a variety of settings, including residential, wilderness, and private practice, for the past 10 years. I am currently a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Hawaii and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. I also offer coaching services across the country and internationally. I specialize in working with young women and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, adverse childhood experiences, trauma-related symptoms, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), and communication and relational issues. If you are struggling with symptom management and feeling lost, please reach out.

My approach to helping people in need is to focus on their strengths and resourcefulness. It is my belief that the way we interact with others gives us clues to what is going on within us and between us. Developing collaboration with our friends and families helps to make most problems in our lives more manageable. The goal is to discover our strengths and collaborate with our resources, our families, and close friends to increase our sense of health and well being.

If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken the most difficult and important step toward feeling better -- reaching out for help. I specialize in helping clients who are experiencing distress stemming from anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues. Many of my clients complain they're feeling "stuck" and can't find a way to move forward. For some, this feeling has been something they’ve dealt with for many years. Others feel this way after a traumatic event or a difficult transition. No matter what is motivating you to seek therapy, it's important to find the right support and the right therapist to help you get your life back on track. Although I tailor my approach to each client, I typically use a person-centered, psychodynamic approach when working with individuals. This approach encourages personal insight and allows you to identify destructive patterns that may be holding you back and making you feel "stuck.” Cognitive Behavioral techniques help my clients make a long-term behavior change, which can help keep you on track long after therapy has ended. With couples, I usually use emotionally-focused therapy techniques, which provide for greater emotional intimacy between partners. I also identify communication breakdowns between partners and provide a framework for increasing communication and healthy conflict resolution. When I work with families, I often use a systems approach and help each family member identify hisher role in family dysfunction. By working together, we can create a healthy, happy family life in which all members can thrive.

Do you feel stifled by anxiety, depression or overwhelm? Are you trying to navigate relationships and decisions about your life? Are you facing grief, loss and change? Were your concerns present before, but exacerbated due to recent events? My practice is here for you in this time of unprecedented uncertainty. I support people in navigating these types of challenges and coming into greater clarity, connection, self assuredness, ease and peace about where you are now and where you want to go. I offer therapy especially attuned to those seeking a deeper, more reflective, and comprehensive therapeutic process—not just symptom relief, but a more meaningful understanding of what is underneath. Therapy can be more than just a band-aid. It can be a path forward that supports you in living a life that is more in alignment with your wants, needs, and values. Additionally, I offer specialized grief therapy for those experiencing grief and loss, including a recent death, chronic illness, a diagnosis such as cancer or multiple sclerosis (MS), and for those who are caregiving or have a loved one with a serious illness or injury, including Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The feelings, logistics, and emotional weight of these experiences are unique and deserve particular care. My approach is warm, person-centered, compassionate, and holistic; incorporating mind, body, spirit as well as considering community and cultural contexts to help clients engage in authentic and deep work. Working with me is collaborative and tailored to your unique interests and needs. I offer a variety of approaches including EMDR, IFS, Somatic, Mindfulness based & JungianDepth. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I bring over 15 years of experience working with individuals going through these kinds of challenges. I offer a deep, grounded, relational, and compassionate presence. Regardless of what is bringing you here, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I'm passionate about working with those who grew up in a family where they were given adult responsibilities at a very young age. You took care of everything and everyone. Today, you’re still taking care of everything. You’re exhausted, but saying no or asking for help is uncomfortable, so you don’t. Instead, you stuff your feelings down, pretend like everything is good, and act like you have it all together. At times, it becomes too much, and you explode. Shortly after, you feel guilt, and you “help” more to ease it. Then you become angry, feeling disrespected and stuck. Hopeless. You want things to change and don’t know how to make change happen. As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), I provide skills to help you manage your emotions and advocate for yourself, so you’re not controlled by others or your guilt. I can help you strengthen your boundary-setting skills, so others learn how to respect you in the ways that matter most. Working with me can help you know your value and your worth. Together, we will move you toward your desired goals and empower you to make the changes you’ve been wanting. Call me, and let’s talk about how we can work together. I’m an experiential relationship specialist with a trauma-informed lens. My therapy style is integrative, with a foundation in systems and relationships. What this means is that I’m comfortable working with multiple people in the room, as well as considering those who are not. I look at the relationships you are a part of and consider how your experiences influence your emotions, perceptions, actions, and patterns of behavior. This also means that I’m not a cookie-cutter therapist. I don’t believe my clients are made from a single mold or that therapy is one-size-fits-all. I create therapy to fit the client’s needs and meet them where they are at. You can expect sessions to be relational and collaborative, a human experience where I will get to know you as a person while working toward your desired goals. Key methods used: experiential therapy, emotionally focused therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-informed care.

The path to healing is journey, and it is different for each person. I am honored when I am selected to help others along this journey. My goal is to make therapy a safe space so that others can share their thoughts, feelings, and vulnerability without judgement. I am an integrative therapist as I am able to blend different techniques as needed to meet my client’s needs. I work with each client to design a treatment to fit their unique needs and goals.
