“Your power is in your choices.”
Renee K. Johnson, LCSW CSAC
ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I have nearly 30 years of experience and primarily work with women. I use a combination of clinical techniques and a bit of humor to help women reach their therapy goals. I enjoy working with women to reduce their stress and increase their problem solving and coping skills. I help women explore their choices and acquire tools to ease the stress of life.
I provide a supportive and relaxed atmosphere. I offer individual therapy using a blended approach of Cognitive Behavioral, Person Centered and Solution Focused techniques.
I also use Eye Movement Desensitizing Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is a therapeutic approach proven highly effective to reduce emotionally charged responses when remembering disturbing events.

MY APPROACH
When we meet for the first session, I will gather history to complete a comprehensive assessment. This helps me figure out what is going on and how I can help. This is also an opportunity for you to decide if you feel comfortable with me and my style. A good fit is essential. We will work together to make a plan to meet your goals. Clients have asked me why I became a Therapist. Well, every session is completely different because every individual is completely different. My job is to shine light on your situation so that you can clearly see your options. Watching individuals choose is exciting. I truly believe your power is in your choices.
