Couples therapists in Yuma, AZ

Hi! My name is Teri Johnson. I have been helping people to achieve stepping into the best version of themselves for over 25 years. My approach is rooted in positive psychology and development of an affirming sense of self. I have worked with individuals and families from all walks of life in overcoming addiction, negative self-image, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and those lifelong messages that we can be burdened with today. Together we can unravel harmful experiences that are impacting who you genuinely are. I believe each person holds the strength and power to live their best life.

As a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, I am passionate about personal growth, both physically and mentally. I find balance through movement, whether it's walking my dogs, hiking, or riding my horses.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or family? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes. As a former elementary school counselor and certified K–12 art teacher, I understand the school, social, and family pressures kids and teens face.

Most of us haven’t made it through life without a few bruises. Sometimes we lose touch with ourselves along the way, shaped by what we’ve been through and the weight of those experiences.

That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It means you adapted. Sometimes beautifully. Sometimes painfully. Often both.

Therapy is a space to slow down, get curious, and gently begin untangling what you’ve been carrying. Together, we can explore your story with compassion, reconnect with who you are beneath old patterns, and move toward a way of living that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentic.

I have been working in mental health for 11 years. I specialize in transitions in life, anxiety, and perfectionism.

I believe healing begins with honest, conscious communication—starting within and extending to others—and my focus is helping you move forward with greater confidence and purpose.
