Getting to know Dr. Summer Johnson

Hi there, I'm Summer! Mental health is a journey, not a destination. I enjoy helping clients embark upon this journey using both wisdom and a good deal of humor. Together, we can help you find the best version of yourself. My approach I love using insight-oriented therapies where individuals learn much about themselves and how they interact with the world. These therapies are usually more long-term, but I have found that short, solution-focused techniques are beneficial in helping with making fast changes that could make life more livable. My focus I enjoy working with clients between the ages of 6 and 65, but believe that clients between the ages of 6 and 10 years are better off with in-person therapies so that more play can be utilized within the sessions. For older children and adolescents, I prefer to validate their experience of "becoming" who they are. These same skills are often needed for adults as well. In addition to "becoming," there is a level of acceptance that should also occur so that individuals learn to be comfortable with themselves and what they can contribute to their environments. My communication style I prefer to be light-hearted, but also prefer to be direct so that I can more quickly help you get to the center of your difficulties and provide you with alternatives for action. As previously stated, I will share my insights with warmth and humor so that it is easily digestible and so clients have a greater desire to incorporate necessary changes into their lives. My goals for you I help clients reach their goals by simply hearing what they want out of therapy. Oftentimes, simply rewording or reframing their goals differently can provide amazing insights for clients. A goal could be as simple as getting out of bed every day, to something more difficult like accepting yourself and those around you. I break goals down into meaningful steps so that they seem attainable to my clients.
