Ana Johnson

Practicing as a systemic therapist for the past 8 years, has allowed me to recognize that a fulfilling life requires a healthy connection with others, as well as with yourself. My experience includes guiding families, couples and individuals, towards greater overall satisfaction with their daily lives. I have effectively helped couples develop strengths towards managing communication issues, infidelity, and sexual incompatibilities. I have also empowered individuals to alter their thought and behavioral patterns, in order to decrease symptoms of low self-esteems, anxiety and depression. My work with families has involved providing tools for sustaining healthier parent-child dynamics.

I work collaboratively with clients to tailor treatment to their unique needs. I utilize attachment-based therapy models, along with Bowenian family therapy, CBT, EFT and mindfulness techniques, to strengthen relationships that have been fractured and to guide my clients towards achieving healthier self-worth.

To cultivate a valuable and satisfactory therapeutic experience, I foster open communication in a non-judgmental environment. My ultimate goal is for my clients to be able to say that they feel safe and understood during our session. I have achieved this through my ability to balance an empathetic, warm stance, along with my level of clinical competency and expertise. ***At this time, I am only accepting Aetna insurance for couples/family therapy. Additionally, I do offer private pay options and can provide an invoice you can submit to your insurance provider for a full/partial refund of the session cost.
