I have worked in the Social Work field for about 10 years and found my specialty and passion in therapy. I am a compassionate and non-judgmental therapist who enjoys working one-on-one with individuals seeking help. I specialize in anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, trauma, family conflict, postpartum, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Hi, I'm Heather Johnson, a faith centered Christian therapist passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where healing, growth, and restoration can take place. I have over 5 years of experience and my approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, grace and meeting each person exactly where they are in their journey. I work with individuals and families to navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting emotional wellness. Guided by the belief that healing and restoration are possible through faith, hope and connection, I strive to reflect God's love by offering a space of understanding, encouragement, and support. It is an honor to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, clarity, and peace.

I am a mental health professional who integrates evidence based practices with a Christ Like worldview to support healing, growth, restoration and transformation. True wellness and stability includes all aspects of the person that includes the mind, body, and spirit, and I strive to create a safe, grace-filled space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. I value providing services to help individuals navigate the the challenging journey of life and offer a non judgemental space where clients can be open, vulnerable and honest about any challenges that they may be facing.

The idea of seeking therapy can be a scary process. That’s why as a therapist I always meet my clients where they are in their therapeutic process. I take on a team approach to let my client know that they aren’t alone. Together we can accomplish many obstacles.

Do you often find yourself feeling empty – as if you float through your days going through the motions, rather than living an abundant and thriving life? Life can be difficult, and no matter how strong one may be mentally, there is only so much stress one can shoulder alone before it becomes too much. I believe in working together collaboratively in order to unlock one’s innate ability to self-heal. Through support and guided introspection, the answers to our troubles become self-evident.

With over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical support. As a fully licensed therapist, I bring both professional expertise and genuine care to every session.

Throughout my career, I have worked with people from many different backgrounds, helping them address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. My approach is centered on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

What clients often appreciate most is my ability to truly listen and meet them where they are. I believe healing and growth happen when people feel supported and understood. My role is to help clients gain clarity, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen resilience, and rediscover their personal strengths.

Over the years, I have seen how powerful change can be when someone is given the right tools, encouragement, and guidance. My experience allows me to draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches to best meet each client’s unique needs.

My commitment is simple: to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing, growth, and a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I personally know what it is like to struggle with anxiety and despair. I also know what it is like to go to therapy and to get little benefit from it. Many years ago, my emotional life changed dramatically when I stumbled onto resources that addressed my actual needs, and subsequently I devoted myself to a career promoting better mental health practices than I was taught when I was young.

Simply put, I teach people six interrelated psychological skills that you can use to transform your life. If all you want to do is explore the past, I'm not your best option - I focus on the past only enough to get us moving toward the future you want. I love to help people develop psychological superpowers that they can use to get the life they always hoped for, starting from where they are now and moving forward into a future they find worthwhile.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with many years experience in a number of social worker roles. Let us see if we can work together to share and plan as partners in your therapeutic journey.
