Great to meet you!

My name is Amanda Johnson, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. With years of experience as a nurse across diverse settings, including medical-surgical, chemical dependency, and psychiatry, I’ve developed a holistic perspective on mental health. I believe that mental health challenges often have both biological and psychological components, and that effective treatment addresses the whole person.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in collaboration and empathy, and my goal is to partner with you on your path to wellness. I offer a comprehensive treatment plan that integrates therapy, behavioral counseling, and medication management, tailored to your unique needs.

I am here to support you with hope, even in your most challenging moments, and to remind you that no matter what you’re facing today, your future remains full of possibilities.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect a therapeutic environment characterized by integrity, warmth, compassion, and empathy—where your mental well-being and overall welfare are always the top priority. My aim is to truly understand you—your struggles, fears, hopes, and past experiences—within the time we have together. I provide personalized psychoeducation and medication management tailored to your unique needs.
