My name is Johannah Walton, and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in California. I attended Rosemead School of Psychology, and I specialize in depth-therapy with young adults seeking greater self-understanding, improved relationships, and increased confidence. Common issues my clients face are social anxiety, relational problems, and religious trauma.
I strive to develop an authentic relationship with my clients, as that has been shown to be most important for achieving lasting change. My approach to treatment is rooted in contemporary psychodynamic theory, so I pay attention to unconscious processes that often drive behavior. In making these processes conscious, it allows for greater agency and healthy functioning in my clients' lives.
My clients often describe me as warm and genuine. They have expressed appreciation for how I can validate their experience and also gently challenge unhelpful approaches to and beliefs about their problems. In working with me, you can expect to feel true care and experience a real human interaction. I focus on what is happening, your history, and your emotional experience.
