Tristan Johnson, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tristan!

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with self-esteem. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

My focus

I work with young adults managing anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, I'll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. These approaches help you feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Together, we'll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life's hardest challenges. I'm continually driven by the belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. I'm here to provide the support and tools you need to move closer to where you want to be.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
