Erica Johnson

Healing begins with connection. Growth begins with understanding. Transformation begins when you are ready to do the work.

I am a compassionate, committed, and clinically trained therapist who believes therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, understood, challenged, and empowered. My approach is grounded in the belief that your experiences may have shaped you, but they do not have to define you.

As a Certified Trauma-Informed Therapist, DBT-Certified clinician, and EMDR-trained therapist, I work with individuals navigating the lasting impact of trauma, childhood experiences, long-term abuse, difficult relationships, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety.

I understand that therapy can be empowering, but it can also be challenging. As we begin to unfold the layers of your experiences through psychoeducation and therapeutic work, you may gain insight into patterns, emotions, relationships, and behaviors that have impacted your life. My role is to help you navigate those discoveries with compassion while also holding you accountable for the growth you desire.

I don't believe therapy is simply about talking about what happened to you. It's about understanding what happened, recognizing how it continues to affect you, developing the tools to respond differently, and creating a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.

I bring my education, clinical experience, credentials, skills, and therapeutic tools into every client relationship—but I also know that credentials alone do not create meaningful change. Connection does.

When we connect, we can do the work.

My goal is to help you move beyond simply surviving and begin intentionally creating a healthier, more empowered version of yourself—for you and for the people and relationships that matter most.

This is your story. Your healing. Your growth.

My work in therapy is rooted in connection, empowerment, and healing, As a trauma-informed therapist, DBT-certified clinician, and EMDR-trained therapis, I understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Every client brings their own story, experiences, strengths, and challenges into the therapeutic space.

I use a patient-centered and strength-based approach, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel heard, understood, and respected while also being challenged to grow. My work often focuses on individuals navigating the lasting effects of persistent trauma, childhood trauma, long-term abuse, difficult relationships, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety.

Together, we work to understand how past experiences may continue to influence thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and the way you see yourself. Through psychoeducation, evidence-based therapeutic interventions, emotional regulation skills, trauma processing, and individualized coping strategies, I help clients develop the insight and tools needed to move from simply surviving to intentionally living.

I believe therapy should provide more than a place to talk. It should provide understanding, accountability, practical tools, and the opportunity for meaningful transformation

My role is not to tell you who to become. It is to help you discover the strength, resilience, and possibilities that already exist within you—and empower you to become the best version of yourself, for yourself and for the people around you.

My love for therapy is empowering, contagious, and sometimes a little challenging—as the layers of psychoeducation begin to unfold.

I am a committed, skilled, and highly trained professional with many letters behind my name. But let’s be clear: those credentials mean very little if you, as my client, don’t connect with me.

Therapy is about connection. It’s about creating a space where you feel seen, heard, understood, challenged, and supported.

When we connect, you get the full benefit of everything I bring to the table—my education, credentials, clinical experience, skills, knowledge, and the tools I’ve gained throughout my professional journey.

My goal is not simply to help you get through a difficult moment. It’s to empower you to become the best version of yourself—for yourself and for everyone around you.

Because therapy is more than a conversation.

It’s connection. Growth. Accountability. Healing. Transformation.
