More about Kara Johnson, LPC

Navigating the world can be murky, difficult, and anxiety-inducing. Often, there isn’t a clear path. Clients come to me when they are overwhelmed with anxiety and depression related to gender identity issues, LGBTQ issues, trauma, and career frustration. In my office, clients find a safe space to untangle the elements of life that feel heavy and confusing. We work together to create a path forward that feels stable, clear, and bright. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in the human services field for over 15 years. I graduated from the University of Colorado Denver with an MA in Counseling and Psychology in 2014. After graduating, I worked with highly impacted populations of young people, developing a practice that incorporates trauma-informed care. I received an EdS degree in Educational Leadership and Policy in 2018 and have used that degree to develop comprehensive social-emotional and post-secondary programming. Through all of this work, I have continued focusing on the LGBTQ community and how the impacts of trauma and oppression affect self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ community, as well as individuals living with anxiety and depression and those experiencing career confusion and frustration. I work with each client using a strengths-based and trauma-informed lens while tackling issues surrounding identity, oppression, self-empowerment, anxiety, and depression. I walk with clients as they overcome life’s hurdles and find a meaningful and clear path forward. I have worked with individuals for over ten years, offering a safe and supportive space to explore the stress of life’s challenges. My background in trauma-informed care, LGBTQ issues, and a social justice mindset allows us to focus on your personal strengths and the power of the human spirit.
