Getting to know Laura Johnson
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet still feel stuck, often experiencing anxiety, relationship challenges, ADHD overwhelm, grief, or a lingering sense that something in life feels off. In therapy, we slow things down and get curious about what’s underneath those patterns. Together we explore how past experiences and current stressors shape the way you relate to yourself and others. My goal is to help you build deeper self-understanding while also developing practical tools that make everyday life feel more manageable and aligned with who you are and who you want to be.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with younger adults to older adults, both individuals and couples, who are navigating life transitions and relationship challenges, and I specialize in supporting anxiety, ADHD, grief, religious trauma, spirituality, identity development, as well as supporting and affirming those exploring gender and sexuality. As a queer therapist, my approach is centered within an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and liberatory lens, and I draw from psychodynamic, relational-cultural, and existential therapies.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach to therapy meets you where you’re at, honors your lived experience, and challenges you to access deeper forms of self-knowledge. We do this work together by understanding how past experiences and current circumstances have complex connections that often hold great knowledge about oneself, including how to move towards a future that feels more fulfilling, healing, and true. I aim to create a safe and compassionate space that allows you to be reflective, creative, and curious about who
you are and what you want.
