Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kaitlan Johnson, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision in progress. I have over a decade of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and couples through life transitions, identity exploration, and healing from trauma. My approach is person-centered, culturally responsive, and rooted in emotion-focused therapy. I strive to create a nonjudgmental and affirming space where clients feel safe to grow, explore, and reclaim their sense of self.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in authenticity. I believe healing happens in safe, trusting relationships, so I work to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I integrate emotion-focused, person-centered, and multicultural approaches to support clients in navigating life transitions, processing trauma, and deepening their self-awareness. Whether we’re unpacking identity, building emotional resilience, or improving relationships, I tailor our work to your unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to help clients build a deeper understanding of themselves, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives. I support clients in identifying patterns, honoring their experiences, and developing tools that align with their values and goals. I create an environment that is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and culturally affirming where clients feel safe to show up as their full selves and explore both challenges and strengths at their own pace.
