Meredith Johnston

I am a compassionate and culturally competent LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) who creates a warm, honest, and gentle space for clients to explore their inner worlds. Drawing from trauma-informed care, narrative therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy for framework, I help clients understand the different parts of themselves and work collaboratively to foster healing and personal growth. With a deep sense of humility, I approach each session with empathy and respect, acknowledging the unique experiences and backgrounds of every individual. I believe the therapeutic relationship is built on a foundation of honesty, gentleness, and cultural sensitivity, and hope to empower my clients to navigate life’s challenges with greater self-awareness and emotional well-being. I have experience working with clients experiencing trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, sexuality/identity questions, homelessness, and health challenges. I am also interested in creating a safe space for clients who are considering a faith/spiritual transition or a values exploration. Utilizing a collaborative approach, together we will strive to find the best path towards a full and satisfying life.

I utilize aspects of narrative therapy, person-centered therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy to drive my practice. I value a client-centered, non-authoritative, and empowering approach, and strive to meet every client with unconditional positive regard.

I like to create an environment where we are learning from each other through discussion and real-time interactions. I hope for my clients to take away a better understanding of themselves, their behaviors, and to feel confident in the ways they make decisions and interact with others.
