KIRK JOHNSON, LPC
“A failure is not a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.”
WELCOME
My name is Kirk Johnson, LPC (he/him). I am a Licensed Counselor/Psychotherapist and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). My clients typically start therapy to improve their stress/anxiety management, interpersonal relationships, ADHD management/identity exploration, self-confidence, and relationship with trauma. Many times, clients seek to find meaning in their past and present experiences, while building sustainable life goals to provide autonomy in their personal and professional lives. These conversations work to create pathways to healing, new opportunity, deeper connection, and happiness, while building inner strength.

I believe that every person already has the empowering agency they seek. When clients don’t understand their story and the narratives they tell themselves, or act from a place of stress, they often drift away from their grounded self and can’t write the next chapter in their life story.
-
I have an affirming, integrative therapeutic approach, which I tailor to help my clients specific mental health needs. Each treatment plan is personalized to help you reach your personal and psychotherapy goals. I often draw on dynamic tools, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, internal family parts, and EMDR to help clients stabilize their anxiety and self-regulate. In order to create meaningful growth, clients may have strategies to explore between counseling sessions. I look forward to collaborating with you.
