Hello: Lets connect on line or in person.

                  Marlena Johnson, LCSW

 

I help people pleasers, trauma survivors, and those who just want to respond vs react so they can find authenticity, peace, joy, and personal power.

 

Have you ever wondered why you cannot stop reacting to certain situations and feel completely ineffective? Does this pattern of problem solving leave you exhausted after reliving painful experiences that prevent you from having the healthy loving relationships you long for? If you answered yes it may be time for us to talk.

 

I specialize in past trauma work, mood management, anxiety/stress, co-dependency, and addiction recovery. If you have a pattern of behavior’s that make life unmanageable, you are in the right place.

Mon: 4pm -8pm (Equine Services Only)

Tue: 1pm-5pm (teletherapy only)

Wed: 8am-5pm (teletherapy only 

Thu: 8am-4pm 

Fri: 8am-6pm (4:30-6 pm for group therapy only)

My Beliefs about the work

I believe that all people do well if they can. That problems have solutions. People struggle; that is too be expected. It is my hope to support you during these times of change. Experience has taught me that during struggle, there is no room for judgement or shame. Working as a team yields greater results. I approach my work seeking to understand your concerns, then collaborate with you on how best to reach your goals. I believe that all people are geared toward growth and healing. My role is to join on the journey of discovering your strengths, talents, and insights so you can move forward a more present and intentional participant in your life and community.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working with adults in individual, and group therapy. I provide therapy services for people experiencing mood disorders, emotional distress, interpersonal difficulties, or have a history of past trauma, or addiction.

My theoretical orientation is Humanistic, person centered, and Gestalt in nature. I work to incorporate the nervous system in healing though the doing of something and not just the discussion of it.
