Audrey Johnsen, LCSW
About me
Hello and welcome! I am an LCSW based in Colorado with 15 years of experience in higher education supporting young adults and their mental health as well as in the hospital setting as a medical social worker. I have my BSW from Gordon College and my MSW from the University of Denver. I have worked with clients on a range of issues including stress and anxiety management, career challenges or goals, grief and loss, end-of-life and hospice, patients and caregivers journeying through a medical crisis, and relationship issues.
My style is warm and engaging and I desire to develop a trusting relationship to best support you in your mental health and wellness goals. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution -focused therapies in order empower you to determine your goals and solutions towards your healthier future.
It takes a lot of courage to both acknowledge and invite someone into your journey towards mental health wellness. I count that as a privilege and honor. I look forward to supporting your path towards health and wholeness by exploring your past, acknowledging your present, and planning towards your bright future.
You are not alone and I look forward to working with you!

I look forward to my sessions. It feels like a special time for me to just talk and set aside the time for me. Best money spent!

Audrey has been in my corner since day one. She has helped me walk through some tough issues while always respecting my options and beliefs. I could not have imagined how much working with her would change my life.

Audrey has helped me to cultivate calmness during a stressful time in my life. She has given me tools to understand myself on a deeper level which has given me courage to redirect parts of my life that were not working for me previously. She is consistently supportive and it feels great to have her on my team. I am immensely grateful to have found Audrey and for the clarity and peace talking with her has brought me.
