Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Heather Johnson, a faith centered Christian therapist passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where healing, growth, and restoration can take place. I have over 5 years of experience and my approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, grace and meeting each person exactly where they are in their journey. I work with individuals and families to navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting emotional wellness. Guided by the belief that healing and restoration are possible through faith, hope and connection, I strive to reflect God's love by offering a space of understanding, encouragement, and support. It is an honor to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, clarity, and peace.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients using a strengths based, solution-focused approach that recognizes each person's unique abilities, resilience, and capacity for growth. Together, we identify existing strengths, build practical strategies, and focus on meaningful solutions navigate life's challenges. Rather than focusing solely on past difficulties, I help clients develop clear goals, build confidence, and create actionable steps toward healing and lasting positive change. My goal is to empower each client to recognize their God-given strengths and use them as a foundation for restoration, growth, and emotional wellness.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a safe, welcoming space to share what has brought you to therapy and explore your goals for healing and growth. Using a strengths-based, solution-focused approach, we will identify your strengths and begin creating practical steps forward. As a faith-centered Christian therapist, I offer a compassionate space where you can feel heard, supported, and encouraged as we begin your journey toward healing and restoration.
