Getting to know Dr. Charlene Johnson

I am a Christian clinical psychologist, and I specialize in helping people recover from traumatic events that have negatively impacted their lives. My hope is that my clients will feel unconditionally supported and accepted throughout this process. I have experience working with a wide variety of people, but have spent the majority of my practice working with veteran and first responder populations to address lifespan PTSD. I look forward to working with you to improve the quality of life that you may feel has been lost to trauma.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is to offer my clients a collaborative and therapeutic relationship in order to comfortably share the memories from, in most cases, the worst day of their lives. I offer CPT, PE, EMDR, COPE, NET, WET, AD-E and CBCT, in order to target the primary symptoms of PTSD most prominently, negative beliefs and avoidant behaviors. Taking that first step to recovery from a past traumatic experience can be scary. I am here to walk beside you as you regain the life that trauma has stolen from you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As a psychologist that specializes in treating PTSD, our sessions will be focused on helping you recover from a past or recent traumatic experience. In the first couple of sessions, together we will work to develop a treatment plan that will guide all future sessions. Along the journey to healing, unhealthy coping strategies will be treated, distressing emotions will be explored, and grief and loss will be examined. If you would like to discuss treatment options further, I would be happy to talk with you about these options. I look forward to working with you.
