Michael (Mike) Johnson
(He/Him/His)
Psychologist
I'm a strong believer in providing a counseling experience that is safe, welcoming, affirming, and inclusive of all identities and backgrounds.
I have over 20 years of experience providing individual counseling to adults age 20 and older. I tend to work with persons who are doing relatively well in their life, but are experiencing some challenges that negatively affect their life satisfaction. Some specific concerns I work with are depression, anxiety, gender issues, sexual orientation, stress and anger management, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. I take a strengths-based approach and work with you to develop treatment goals.
