As a counselor and an artist, I enjoy helping others - youth, adults, and families - solve challenges and improve their relationships, communication, and growth. I see the therapeutic process as a journey. We get to a better place by working together, identifying your goals and the strategies to make them reality. I firmly believe that the best way to do this is by providing a safe and judgment-free environment where I listen with unconditional positive regard, helping you clearly see the path in front of you. It is in the moments of profound insight - when the light truly comes on - that we can leap forward in overcoming current challenges, escape painful mindsets and relationship dynamics, and create opportunities for true and lasting growth. We are partners, working together to find what works for you. I’m excited to begin that journey.

Sometimes we need a safe place to tend to our heart, a place to be heard and understood, a place to get help. I am here to provide that place for you. Perhaps you have been feeling anxious or down. Maybe you feel stuck and are needing direction or liberation or resolution in one or more areas of life. With grace and truthful affirmation, I will join you in clearing away that which is hindering you and help you move forward. I work especially from person-centered, existential, and acceptance & commitment approaches that will be tailored to your needs. There is the beautiful "YOU" inside that is deeply aware of what really matters, where you hurt, what nourishes you. Listening to this innermost voice can lead you into new perspectives, new practices, and wholehearted living. I will help you hear this true "YOU," so that your soul can shine through your strengths, passions, and relationships. My faith-based perspective is very open, embracing spirituality as a loving and life-giving experience. Sustained by this Spirit, we will use established techniques and creative exploration as we work together. I have 25 years of counseling experience, and look forward to working with you.

Jarod Johnson
Hello, my name's Jarod Johnson (JJ). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Texas with just over 6 years of experience working in a dynamic environment that has provided me with a broad range of opportunity to work with men, women, families, and a number of modalities that hinge on what I consider to be the most important aspect of my vocation...connecting authentically with people to work for the cessation of suffering. I say "vocation" because that's what the art of good therapy is to me and it's interwoven with who I am...it's meaningful and growth can be very satisfying even though it's uncomfortable at times. I've worked with people with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, to substance dependence, spiritual seeking, career challenges, and numerous other mental health needs. I also work with many people who have experienced physical, intellectual, sexual, emotional, and religious trauma. My counseling style is what is often called person centered and I embrace an eclectic approach that I feel promotes collaboration with the people I have the privilege of working with. What this means is I find more progress when we work together on where the turbulence in your life is and decide together how to get to a place of refuge within and movement in your life. While I can't fully sum myself up here I can say that I'm also trained in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy, certified as a tai chi/qigong instructor, an EMDR therapist, and recovered addict. To me all of that means I feel confident that we can work well together on finding workable solutions that engage the soul, mature one's emotional experience, and generally enrich life. If you're reading this you've probably already identified something that you want to address...even if it's that you "may" want to address it but just want to dip a toe in some solution to see how it feels. I honor the willingness to seek your best self, whatever that means to you. I'm open to walking with you in this season of that journey. Peace be with you until we meet!
