Hi! My name is Cristy Johnson. I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and I have my certification for alcohol and drug issues (CAADC). I'm also trained in EMDR therapy. I have been practicing for over 20 years. As a therapist, I'm committed to supporting clients with a variety of mental concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues and substance abuse struggles.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session is to help us get to know each other better. It will be used to gather information about who you are and what you would like to get out of therapy. It is also used to answer any questions you may have regarding the therapy process and questions you may have about my expertise and/or experience. I will explain how confidentiality works. In addition, this hour will help you feel more comfortable and safe moving forward with therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist, I will provide you with an environment where you will feel comfortable, safe, and unjudged. One of my greatest strengths is building this rapport with my clients. When rapport is established, you will only progress and grow with the goals you have established for therapy.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My experience and passion is working with the adult population, young adults to seniors. As an adult, we will all go through difficulties in life. Whether this is financial, emotional, relational, sometimes we feel stuck. My passion is to help people get unstuck and move forward. Through the process of therapy, my clients will grow through what they are going through in life.

My treatment methods

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing is a counseling technique that helps client explore ambivalent feelings regarding change and self-reflect on life changes clients are contemplating.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Person-centered therapy is a type of non-directive therapy that is empathetically driven toward providing a safe space to talk, client's realizing their full potential, and make positive changes in their life.

EMDR

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy. It’s a therapeutic model that can be highly effective for those who have experienced trauma.
