Heather Johnston, LPC-Associate

I am a licensed professional counselor-associate who is dedicated to helping adults and adolescents who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions and related concerns (such as ADHD, relationship issues, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem issues) in a supportive, empathic manner.

My passion is helping people navigate with the struggles they are facing. Even the strongest person can be challenged by difficult experiences, whether in past or present life, and can use help. I work with adolescents and adults on the challenges they are facing with the goal to live a more balanced and healed life.

Clients who seek my help are from all walks of life who are looking for someone who is warm, empathetic and listens without judgement. No matter your life stage or circumstance, I understand the complexities of life that you are confronting, balancing competing life experiences and challenges.

Working together, we will explore the difficulties you are facing in a supportive, non-judgmental way. Once we understand these issues, including what may be underlying them, we will build a set of skills, tools, and strategies for you to use. The goal is for you to heal, finding overall relief as well as ways to manage your day to day. ​To ensure we address the way mental health concerns are showing up in your life, the therapeutic process is person-centered - meeting you where you are. The goal is to provide a nurturing environment that promotes self-acceptance and personal growth in a way that is meaningful to you.

Prior to becoming a mental health counselor, I worked in the corporate world and as an attorney. The broad experience that I gain in my first career informs my counseling, including working a wide range of people from many nationalities, cultures, ethnicities, religions, and life experience. I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life in an inclusive and supportive manner. I am a LGBTQIA+ ally.

I am supervised by Reem Glasco, LPC-S.
