Karen Johnson

My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I listen with compassion and without judgment, while also being honest and direct when needed. Clients often describe me as approachable and easy to talk to, which helps create a safe space where they feel comfortable opening up.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this work out of a deep passion for helping others navigate life's challenges and find healing, clarity, and growth. Having faced my own obstacles along the way, I bring empathy, insight, and a strong understanding of what it means to overcome difficulties.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by first identifying what matters most and what they want to change. We break larger goals into smaller, realistic steps so progress feels achievable. I use evidence-based strategies to help clients build coping skills, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and increase self-awareness.

Our first session

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where they can begin to share their thoughts and feelings. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your background, current challenges, and goals. I'll explain confidentiality and we'll discuss the frequency of sessions.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
