Katherine Johnson, MS, LPCC 

We come to mental health therapy having lived through multi-faceted experiences. The experiences we have had shape us and create the patterns and cycles we live into and through today. Some of these patterns are helpful and participate in our own unique vision of what success feels like; while others may be used as coping mechanisms or as a means of survival. When we can come together to uncover and become self-aware of the multiple pieces and patterns gained through past experience we are able to work towards thriving in our lives not only surviving. 

Gestalts, such as myself, work towards the understanding we must integrate the many pieces into the whole, as this will bring us closer to our goals. Making our way towards the here and now to conceptualize and better understand the self. Through this concept we can create our preferred stories and begin to draw our energy away from the stories which otherwise reside in subconscious patterning. 

Gestalt is an ideal starting point in mental health therapy, however, we will work together to find what blend of methods work best for you to achieve your goals. Each individual will benefit from their own distinctive approach. Therapy is unique and it is not one size fits all. 

KATHERINE’S MESSAGE TO INDIVIDUALS & COUPLES

Remember, you are not your problems. We will work together in a safe and non-judgmental space to define and or re-define your story as each day we move towards a new chapter and new potential to connect to your true self.
