Dr. Valerie Johnson is a clinical psychologist committed to empowering women and couples create the life and relationships they want.
Regardless of what is holding you back, whether stress, depression, anxiety, or health concerns - working with a supportive professional can help. There is a path forward.
If you’re reading this right now, you are likely taking the first step toward increasing support for yourself or someone you care about. That is admirable, and I am here to help.
In our work together, we will do much more than just talk. I will use research-based therapeutic techniques tailored to your needs and teach you practical strategies to help you get to where you want to be.
I will help you clarify your personal goals, work toward them, and accomplish them so that you feel empowered to move forward.
Life is challenging as it is. Facing life with health concerns or a medical diagnosis that others don’t fully understand can be very isolating. Dr. Johnson has spent years working with women and couples of all ages with medical issues cope, adjust, and improve their quality of life.
Major life changes can happen in an instant. Even change for the better can take a toll on your well-being. You may need help navigating new stressors during this season of life. I am here to walk with you and teach you how to create more peace and joy regardless of the circumstances.
Everyone has experienced difficult mood symptoms at some time in their life. The way we manage symptoms of anxiety and depression can have a profound effect on our well-being and on those we care about. Therapy can help you improve your ability to cope with mood concerns and life demands so you can enjoy life every single day.
Improving relationships can be tricky. Unfortunately, kids, partners, family members, and friends don’t come with a manual. There's no reason to feel like you have to figure everything out by yourself. Sometimes just talking through the problem with an expert can help identify solutions and bring about a fresh perspective.
