Getting to know Tamara Johnson

Hi there, I'm Tamara! Hello. My name is Tammy Johnson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Life Coach, and Drug/Alcohol Counselor. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years helping people discover the best and highest expression of themselves once they are free from destructive hurts, habits, and hang-ups. I work with adults ages 25 to 80 years old. I specialize in trauma, anger management, sexual dysfunction and sexual addiction, depression, and anxiety. Change begins at the end of our comfort zone. My approach I am a very relaxed therapist, but I do not take a relaxed approach to therapy. People do not heal if they are too comfortable where they are. I want to challenge you in the areas where you are struggling. You can struggle through life, or you can overcome and live a better life. I use several approaches to therapy including CBT, Solution Focused, Narrative, Family Systems, and more. There is not one therapy that works for every client; likely, several modalities will blend together to create a finely tuned treatment plan specifically for you. My focus I work with clients, both male and female, from ages 25 to 80. I provide individual and couples counseling. I will provide Christian Biblical Counseling if you choose to include that in your sessions. Therapy is an important process, and you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose. Feel free to discuss any concerns with me so we can ensure you receive the therapy you need. My goals for you We will talk about your expectations for therapy and what you hope will be the outcome. Then, we will set goals and objectives to achieve those outcomes.
