Getting to know Lauren Johnson

I believe that we are not defined by our darkest moments or a point in a time, but rather by the ways we choose to overcome them. When you're ready, we'll unpack your history or past traumas, exploring how and why you're currently struggling, embrace difficult emotions, and empower you to make change outside of our sessions. You won't find homework or a specific agenda with no room for conversation, or a cold and rigid presence from me. Although therapy can be hard and bring up many feelings, there will always be time to celebrate your wins and laugh about about the everyday, humorous parts of our lives.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapy approach is very personalized, authentic, and collaborative. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma, as well as every day life stressors. I have expertise in areas including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, relational difficulties, and parental support.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I tend to have an un-structured style, taking my ques from my the client and adapting to what they need in that moment and in that session. I don't come to sessions with a "set agenda". Although we have goals that we will work on, I am also flexible and adapt to what you'd like to focus on.
