Julie Johnson, LICSW
About me
I am licensed clinical therapist for the state of Minnesota. I have 24 years of working as a therapist and continue to be inspired by the resiliency I see in people. I have experience in working with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, depression, and many other areas of life and mental health issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. For those who are interested, I am happy to incorporate the person's faith beliefs into therapy as I have worked primarily for Christian based clinics over my career. My main goal is to help others' discover their individual strengths because everyone has them.

Julie is easy to talk to and speaks from the heart. She is not afraid to share her own life experiences if she feels it will help you. I very much look forward to my weekly call.

I have benefitted from my therapy with Julie in multiple ways. She recognized aspects of my brokenness around a succession of deaths in my family, and has helped me get back on track with living. She is a kind and engaged professional. I've learned a lot about myself under her care. I highly recommend her.
