Theresa Johnson
Hi, I'm Theresa Johnson, a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 19 years of nursing experience—9 of those as an NP. My background spans cardiovascular care, neurosurgery, general surgery, and critical care during the COVID-19 crisis in NYC, and now outpatient psychiatry. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and grounded in evidence-based care. I aim to be both practical and supportive—whether you're sitting with discomfort or ready to move forward, we’ll work together at your pace. I have experience working with MDD, bipolar disorder, peripartum mood disorder, GAD, ADHD, and major life transitions, and I bring warmth and cultural awareness into every session.
Fluent in English, Tagalog, and Bisaya, I welcome clients from all backgrounds and strive to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and real.
I also take a complementary view of mental health, addressing vitamin deficiencies when relevant and incorporating evidence-based non pharmacological options. I'm well-versed in interpreting Genomind and GeneSight results, and I offer QB testing for ADHD in my practice.

Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
With MD Supervision In my practice, I look for potential psychological influences from childhood to later years, approaching them from an interpersonal and attachment perspective. While I hold the capability to prescribe medications as a nurse practitioner, I equally value the significance of mindfulness in psychological healing and day-to-day decision-making.
