About

Greetings! Thanks for being curious enough to learn more about me and courageous enough to invest in yourself through counseling. My name is Zoe. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Ph.D. in counseling. My experience includes supporting folks as they journey through the evolutions, change, and transitions of life. I have spent much of my career working with young adults and college students as they navigate love (of self and others), adulting, career, relationships (romantic, platonic, and family), and everything in between.

As a clinical social worker, I draw from a strengths-based perspective. My clinical and research expertise is specifically with working with Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC). Accordingly, my approach encompasses a liberatory framework that includes the reality that in the American context, most systems and institutions were not developed with BIPOC people in mind. This truth calls for an even higher level of intentionality in attending to nuance and complexity in my work with clients. I believe this approach also serves the liberation of majority cultures – freeing people to see themselves as full, complete, humans that intuitively know what they need.

The therapeutic process is about the transformation or adjustments in your life that you wish to pursue, bringing you into congruence with your true authentic self. I consider it a profound honor to have the opportunity to walk alongside clients during this season of their journey. My name, Zoe, means life. What I know for sure is that YOU are the expert on your life.

If anything that I’ve said here resonates with you and you feel we would make a good team, let’s get started! I’m confident that our work together can help you cultivate the beautiful life that you deserve.

Peace, love, and abundant joy to you –

Dr. Zoe Johnson
