My belief is that change occurs within the therapeutic relationship when a solid, relational foundation is created within the bounds of authentic connection, trust, and safety. The core of my work is based in Relational Theory and Narrative Work. From this perspective I see the importance of uncovering themes and patterns that took place in past relationships, and family of origin dynamics, as a way to gain personal perspective and empowerment, as well as to provide the potential to create healthier patterns in current relationships and life situations. https://www.lisajohnsontherapy.com/take-action daily 0.75 2022-05-09 https://www.lisajohnsontherapy.com/about daily 0.75 2022-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279519e24aaa67c8d9c33ca/9de6fc49-623f-4765-aaf2-fff7027f5e23/IMG_2473.jpg About Me - About Me I currently hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Washington (LH 61335185). I received my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the Seattle School of Psychology. My therapeutic approach includes relational psychodynamic work fused with narrative/story work. I have a background in ballet and dance-movement which has influenced my understanding of therapy as involving both the mind and the body. I also identify as disabled due to being born with a limb difference which influences my passion of body liberation for all. My other professional interests and advanced trainings include: trauma-informed care, attachment work, enneagram work, Lifespan Integration technique, somatic work, and a Health At Every Size Approach. In my freetime I enjoy spending time outside in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my partner and our sweet pup. You can also find me planning game and movie nights on the weekends, or spending my mornings practicing mindfulness via trying to keep my houseplants alive. A few of my favorite things include: coffee, road trips, puzzles, Christmas decorations, and Oaxacan food. https://www.lisajohnsontherapy.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2024-09-19
