About

Hello I am Heather Johnston, Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 30 years, who identifies as she/her. I have experience working during the HIV epidemic helping people manage the anxiety of being at risk or learning they have the illness. I have a range of experience assisting people through grief, end of life, mood disorders, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, OCD, addiction and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced or witnessed physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is direct, empathic and supportive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, transtheoretical model, mindfulness, and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
