Lisa Johnson

A California-based psychologist since 2000, Lisa Johnson, PsyD, specializes in helping adults from various backgrounds navigate life’s challenges, with a particular emphasis on addressing workplace stress. She holds both a Master of Arts and a Doctorate in Psychology from Pepperdine University. Throughout her extensive career as a clinician and small business owner, she has developed a care approach centered on helping individuals identify and strengthen their own internal voice amidst external pressures. Dr. Johnson’s clinical philosophy involves exploring how an individual's history of successes and disappointments informs their current experience. She believes that gaining insight into the connection between the past and the present is essential for overcoming obstacles and reaching future objectives. By viewing the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative space, she works with her clients to reinterpret past experiences, establish new goals, and redefine their sense of self. Her practice includes the use of evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and CBT for Insomnia to support patients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and sleep disorders. She also provides dedicated support for women’s issues and individuals navigating midlife or later life transitions.
