LMFT, 9 years of experience
You’ve got a lot going on. There are so many demands pulling you in every direction that it can feel impossible to find peace and show up as the best parent, partner, and employee you can be. And, while settling into the same routine has gotten you this far, it’s stopped being sustainable and has started to feel like a strain. If this sounds like you, I’m pleased to be a support for you and your family. I’m Shiloh Johnson. My professional passion is aiding individuals, couples, and families address conflict, open lines of communication, and build better bonds. I had a spiritual calling towards counseling, and seeing my clients reach their goals and grow as people is exactly what God put on my heart to help fulfill. In our sessions, you can expect a blend of evidence-based practices and a warm, person-centered approach to help you find harmony in difficult circumstances. I see a wide range of clients, with many types of presenting problems. I enjoy treating families, especially those with blended family issues, adults struggling with autism, mood disorders, or BPD, and those seeking general guidance. While I’m not currently a fit for those in active addiction or recovery, I am able to support loved ones in navigating this complex relationship. When not in session, I workout, play my guitar, and do home improvement projects.
In our first session, we will begin by introducing ourselves and explore what brings you to counseling. We will discuss relationships in the personal, social and professional domains of your life. We will then begin to form initial goals for our time together and I will answer any questions you may have.
As a counselor, I learn as much from my clients as they learn from me. The counseling relationship is a truly unique and powerful relationship. I provide a warm place for people to share their hurts, disappointments, and struggles in an understanding and compassionate way. I address the entire person in my approach which allows progress made in session to naturally extend into everyday life.
I love working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. My clients struggle with difficult relationships. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless, and are unsure how to make changes that will help. They want better relationships, but need support to make positive changes. By addressing what can be changed, my clients feel more empowered, confident, and hopeful.
I am a counselor who follows the Christian faith. I enjoy integrating spirituality into sessions as desired by the client.
I believe that our thoughts are powerful. They impact our feelings and behaviors. By addressing our thoughts, we can impact our feelings and behaviors. I use these principles as a foundation for my therapeutic approach.
I believe that entire families can benefit from the therapeutic experience. I work with families to observe and correct unhealthy patterns of interaction that may be holding them back from truly enjoying life. When one person in a family is struggling, the entire family can be impacted. When one person in a family makes changes, the entire family benefits. Healthy relationships are the foundation to a happy family.
Every couple can benefit from couples counseling. I work with couples to identify their unique relationship strengths and areas of struggle. Together we will work towards building a hope filled, harmonious relationship. We will explore attachment styles, love languages, effective communication strategies, and ways to interrupt negative interaction patterns.
