Dr. Benjamin Johnson

I offer evidence-based psychotherapy for those navigating relationship challenges, self-harm, thoughts of suicide, and issues with their sense of self, self-esteem, or personality. I also specialize in borderline personality disorder (BPD). I work with individuals who have felt misunderstood by others in their life or who have struggled to find ways to communicate their needs or feelings in healthy ways to those close to them. If you have had this experience, perhaps I can help.

I bring a balanced approach to my practice, combining warmth, structure, and flexibility to create a supportive therapeutic environment. As a teacher and scientist, as well as a therapist, I use cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches and integrate dialectical behavior therapy skills with transference-focused psychotherapy, an exploration-focused approach.

At our first meeting, I spend some time getting to know you and what you are dealing with in more detail. After that, I will be transparent with you about my understanding of your concerns and we will collaboratively set up a plan for our work together. Currently, I primarily provide virtual sessions, though in-person sessions may be available as well.
