LINDY JOHNSON, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm LINDY!

I care deeply about helping individuals find healing within relationships. I will meet you where you are, walking alongside you to create a path forward that honors your unique journey. I believe in the potential for mental, emotional, and relational health when we engage in the work necessary for growth.

My focus

I love working with young adults, pre-marital couples, and individuals who are eager to learn more about themselves and are ready to dig into their strengths and challenges. I address stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts, compassion fatigue, and professional growth.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in Attachment Theory and childhood trauma experiences that inform the way we experience the world around us. I take time to first identify what led you to counseling and explore ways your current challenges are related to past experiences that shaped your belief systems, tendencies, and patterns.

My communication style

I naturally offer a warm and inviting tone to my clients and get to know one another. I lead with curiosity as I desire to understand where my clients are coming from and what is most important to them. Once I have developed a solid foundation of rapport with my clients, and when they are ready, I offer insight, reflections, and challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, I had the opportunity to explore the world and see the pain and life reality of others. It was such cross-cultural experiences that led me to study helping others find healing: caring for people by understanding their pain and advocating for their restoration.

My goals for you

I believe it is very important for you to be the one to set goals for yourself. Together, we will first identify what your greatest challenges are, and from there, we will explore what goals best address your needs. I am available to offer a menu of ideas per your identified challenges, as well as incorporating your strengths.

Our first session

In our first session, you should expect me to primarily listen to what led you to counseling. My goal is for you to first feel seen as you step into counseling. Additionally, per your interests, I will provide a framework of what our time together can look like and make sure to answer any of your questions.
