Getting to know Barry Johnson

As a former therapist at the Department of Defense and the Veterans Health Administration, I helped service members achieve their mental health goals. Whether it was combat stress stemming from tours in Iraq or relationship troubles at home, I aimed to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for soldiers to share their stories. Today, as a private practitioner, I am putting that experience to work for others. Many of us have suffered the scars of trauma. We know the pain of depression, the struggle of addiction or the crippling fear of anxiety. The world can feel like a combat zone, and our place in it can feel purposeless and without any clear direction. I hope to walk alongside you as we explore strategies that can help you live life to its fullest. My approach We will focus on the link between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, sprinkled with plenty of validation, some new ideas, and a dose of pushback when required. I want you to leave our sessions feeling a tad lighter, a little more "seen," and a bit closer to the person you've always known you can be. My focus Struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma? Weighed down by life stressors? Stuck in an unhealthy relationship? Along with traditional therapy approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, we may dip into skills-based strategies associated with dialectical behavioral therapy, like distress tolerance and emotional regulation. For trauma work, we can draw from the STAIR protocol used with success with military veterans. However, just because we may lean on evidence-based practices does not mean it will be all worksheets and homework (far from it, in fact). Giving you that space to be seen and heard is the real key to a meaningful therapeutic experience. My communication style I strive to provide a warm, conversational, friendly tone.
