Getting to know Sarah Johnson

The provider is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Sarah Johnson AMFT I’m a genderqueer therapist who works with queer and trans folks, people recovering from people-pleasing, and those navigating religious harm, identity exploration, loneliness, or attachment anxiety. My approach is relational and somatic, helping you understand the patterns your mind and body developed to survive while building more self-trust, connection, and choice.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Sessions with me tend to feel conversational, supportive, creative, and curious. I show up as a real person in the room and aim to create a space where you can be honest, explore openly, and move at your own pace. I draw from somatic and Gestalt approaches, so we’ll often slow down to notice what’s happening in the present moment, including emotions, patterns, and what your body might be communicating. Many clients come in feeling stuck in old roles, navigating identity questions, loneliness, or the impact of past environments that didn’t leave much room for their full selves. Together, we explore those experiences with compassion and experiment with new ways of relating to yourself and others.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical session usually starts with a gentle check-in about how you’re arriving that day - what’s been on your mind, how you’ve been feeling, or anything that feels like it wants to be brought into the space. I'll often as my clients something like "so, what's feeling alive for you?". From there, we follow what feels most relevant for you. Sometimes that looks like talking through something that’s happening in your life, and other times we might slow down to notice emotions, patterns, or what’s happening in your body in the present moment. Maybe we'll even get up, shake it out, move our bodies, or do some drawing! I aim to create a space that feels cozy, comfortable, and welcoming - somewhere you can show up as you are. Feel free to kick your shoes off, grab one of my fidget toes, or pick out an emotional support pillow. I’m especially mindful of supporting neurodivergent and highly sensitive (HSP) needs, which might mean moving at your pace, making space for pauses, adjusting how we communicate, or paying attention to sensory and nervous system regulation. Therapy with me is collaborative, and we’ll shape the process together in a way that works best for you.
