Elia Johnson

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in New York and Connecticut with over a decade of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and trauma. I earned my master’s degree from Columbia University and completed a post-master’s certificate in trauma-informed clinical practice at NYU. My approach is collaborative and grounded in the belief that therapy can be a space to slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and reconnect with yourself. I integrate trauma-informed care, CBT, CPT, and somatic awareness to help you deepen self-trust and move through life with greater awareness and choice.

In our work together, we may integrate talk therapy, mindfulness, and gentle body-based practices to help you feel more grounded and connected. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, shaped by training in CBT, CPT, and my advanced yoga teacher training, and always guided by what feels most supportive for you.

We’ll begin by getting to know each other and identifying the goals that feel most important to you. As we move forward, each session builds on the last, integrating reflection on thoughts and behaviors with gentle attention to how experiences may be held in the body.
