Whitney Johnson LCSW

After our initial appointment, I aim to have a better understanding of who you are and what your needs are for therapy. We will establish a workable goal, which will lead us into our future sessions. My process of therapy is guided by the goals that we set and always leaves room for flexibility because sometimes life changes, which means our therapy may need to shift directions to support where you presently are. Once we've worked together for a while, I hope that clients enter into and leave therapy knowing that they are heard, valued, and supported, while being held accountable to their goals in a caring way.

I currently incorporate treatment methods and tools primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. I also maintain a culturally sensitive approach to my treatment style, which allows for the incorporation of culturally relevant treatment methods that are unique to each client I work with. I am always actively learning about new treatment methods and tools so that I can better serve the diverse needs of my clients.
