Getting to know Dr. William Johnson

Hi, I am Derrick Johnson, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor #10034 and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist #3188 practicing in Charlotte, NC. I go by Derrick or Dr. D, and I love helping people grow and fulfill a life of happiness and contentment. Approaching each client with a person-centered approach, I let you be the guide to how you best learn and feel safe creating the change you are seeking through therapy. Of total transparency, I tend to be blunt in my delivery, but that is always with full empathy, understanding, and support. In other words, I will lovingly let you know, “this is gonna hurt a little,” as I help challenge you in those steps that create change. My approach I customize my approach for each client, recognizing that everyone is unique; therefore, my approach will be unique as well. There is no one-size-fits-all for therapy. With experience in various modalities, I select the methods that best suit your individual needs. Therapy is about growth, and I am dedicated to helping you develop in a way that resonates with you. My focus Over the years, I have assisted diverse populations with a wide range of topics. My expertise and passion include substance use disorders, grief and loss, LGBTQIA+ and coming out concerns, as well as divorce, family, and life transitions. My communication style I am a careful listener and value open, honest communication with my clients. I strive to ensure you understand our conversations and will be straightforward and direct when necessary. My goal is to support your growth, even if it means telling you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear from time to time. I will always do this with love and empathy because I want you to work on being the best version of yourself possible. My journey to mental healthcare As a man with two grown children, two grandchildren, two incredible cats, and aging parents, life has exposed me to “a couple of things” along the road.
