Tricia Johnson, LCSW

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. From the very first session, it's important for me to establish a relationship and get to know you as a person, not just the current issue that is bringing you to therapy. I have experience helping clients work through a variety of life transitions and the variety of emotions that come along.

I began my career as a social worker 20 years ago as a therapist in a residential treatment facility for adolescents, where I offered individual, group, and family therapy. Since then, I have also gained experience working in a healthcare setting and seeing clients individually through teletherapy. Currently, my work is primarily focused on helping adults manage feelings of anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I work with many young adults in various life transitions; some are living away from their parents for the first time and many are learning how to navigate the ups and downs that come with adulthood. Young adulthood brings with it many challenges that are tough to navigate alone. I have experience giving clients the tools to learn how to set boundaries in personal, family, and work relationships, make life's tough's decisions, and explore that harsh inner critic.

I am a lifelong learner and work hard to continuously stay educated and aware of new approaches in therapy and changes in my field. In therapy, I utilize a mindfulness approach that encourages staying aware in the present moment without judgment. Through mindfulness, self-compassion, and lots of practice, we can learn to slow down, be more inquisitive, and be much kinder to ourselves.

Therapy is a partnership, and through working together, we can develop goals that highlight your many strengths and help you grow into the best version of yourself. It takes a lot of courage to seek out assistance from a therapist and take the first step toward feeling better and empowered to make changes in your life. Give me a call to set up a free consultation, and we can decide if working together is a good fit.
