Getting to know Darion Johnston
I would describe myself as a therapist who is laid-back, charismatic, warm, and engaging. I firmly believe it is an honor to be part of someone's journey, and my work ethic reflects that belief in my practice. I want my clients to feel comfortable showing up as their authentic selves without feeling judged or like they have to performce in therapy.
If you have ever seen Issa Rae in Insecure, then that is probably the closest representation of what I am like in session! I am conversational, relatable, and not afraid to laugh with my clients when the moment calls for it. At the same time, I know when to slow down, sit with the difficult stuff, and have the deeper conversations that may be uncomfortable but necessary. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and enjoyable, and that you do not have to spend every session crying to make meaningful progress.
I am also genuinely curious about my clients and want to understand the person beyond their presenting concern. I care about their relationships, experiences, culture, values, and the experiences that have shaped how they see themselves and the world around them. I view therapy as a collaborative process rather than a space where I simply tell someone what to do. My goal is to create an environment where clients feel heard, understood, supported, and challenged when needed.
Ultimately, I want my clients to leave sessions feeling like they could be completely themselves, while also walking away with something meaningful to think about, practice, or carry into their everyday lives.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
