Amanda Johnston

My clients describe me as:

approachable and easy to talk to about hard things. In addition, clients say that I am knowledgeable and kind when discussing their needs and goals.

Something to know about my approach is:

I am trained in cognitive behavioral, reality and EMDR therapies that can help clients better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We work together to create a treatment plan based on your needs and goals as you progress in therapy.

Together, we will:

be on a journey of understanding the connection between one's past, present and future selves. We will work together to develop new skills and positive beliefs about self to improve overall mental health and well-being.

I specialize in working with people who:

have difficulties in relationships (families, couples, friendships), as well as those struggling with substance abuse and/or difficult childhoods. I help clients learn new coping skills for healthier, confident lives.

I became a therapist because:

I am passionate about helping clients find their voice, make sense of the world around them, and create healthy relationships with others.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

we can meet face-to-face in my comfy office or through telehealth depending on your needs. I strive to create a calm and peaceful environment.

More about me and my practice:

I am so grateful for the opportunity to help clients better understand themselves and the world around them. It's hard to come to therapy, so a dose of sarcasm and bad jokes will be available to ease into our counseling relationship.
