Alexis Johnson, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alexis!

I strive to create a trusting, empathetic environment where clients can safely explore their emotions and collaborate on reaching healthier life goals.

My focus

I specialize in working with individual adults and older adults facing a wide range of challenges, including addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma, and more. I aim to meet each client where they are with understanding and without judgment.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is Trauma-Informed and client-centered, focusing on empathy and compassion to support long-term, effective changes. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based approaches, Solution-Focused work, Art Therapy, and Mindfulness practices to equip clients with coping tools and insight.

My communication style

You can expect me to be an attentive, caring listener who provides a safe space for open and honest communication. I will work collaboratively with you, offering guidance and tools while empowering you to uncover your own inner wisdom and resilience on the path to healing and growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to the mental health field by a deep desire to help others navigate life's challenges and live fuller, more authentic lives. My own journey of personal growth, coupled with a lifelong fascination with the human mind and spirit, led me to pursue counseling.

My goals for you

My goal is for you to feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported as we work together to gain new insights and perspectives. I aim to help you develop practical strategies for coping with difficult emotions, changing unhelpful patterns, improving relationships, and moving toward the life you envision for yourself.

Our first session

In our first session, we will begin to build a trusting therapeutic relationship as I learn more about you, your background, and what brings you to therapy. We will discuss your goals and how we can work together toward them. You can ask any questions you may have about the therapy process and my approach.
