Nikole Johnson

I often use fitness, animal training, or parenting references to help you make sense of things. I enjoy guiding first responders/military/veterans through the "ick" left by critical incidents. I also work with older adolescents and adults, providing support through life transitions, relationship issues (familial/friendship/romantic), anxiety, trauma, fitness/body image concerns, and more! My big floofy dog may sometimes make an appearance! (And in extremely rare cases, my toddler).

I feel like everyone should find a great therapist these days! I am honest and open and have a dry sense of humor. I meet you where you are so we can jump right in or we can spend time building our relationship before delving into the deep stuff. Your progress is important to me and I like to use various ways to measure progress so you can objectively see it too. I offer therapeutic D&D/TTRPG games, and therapeutic surf retreats as well, if there's enough interest!

After our first session, I hope you feel supported and cared for. I will partner with you to help you attain your goals through conversation or a more structured approach using worksheets or apps. You will always have some skills to work on in between sessions, and we can use our time to identify stuck points and brainstorm different approaches to challenges.
