Allison Johanson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Sometimes life gets overwhelming and exhausting. This can look like anxiety, racing thoughts, or difficulty following through with tasks. I use a natural processing approach to eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help you get through these stuck places. This can be effective if your symptoms are due to past stressors or if they do not feel linked to anything at all. I can be a little geeky about this stuff, and I am happy to share the how and why of what I am doing. I am able to provide several different modes of therapy, including traditional weekly, extended 90-minute sessions, or expedited (4-6 hour sessions). I enjoy working with burnout and vicarious trauma within helping professionals like healthcare workers, fellow therapists, and veterinarians.

I am a licensed clinical social worker. This can be confusing to some, but my schooling and expertise give me the knowledge to be an effective therapist. I am also certified in EMDR. In order to maintain my certification, I am required (I prefer to) continue extended education in the field and practice.
