Ashley Johnson, LMSW
Licensed Master Social Worker
First, Welcome to the stage of change that has brought you to therapy! I am a fully licensed social worker focusing on interpersonal practice with certification in trauma across the lifespan. My style of therapy is a healthy mix of many evidence based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral based therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing and many more person centered therapies. My goal is to meet you where you are at and assist you in understanding, offer validation and problem solving skills, encourage positive change, and overall offer professional support through challenges rather internal or external. Beginning therapy is a life changing journey and I am thankful that you are considering me to be a part of your journey, Lets do great work together!
