Melissa JohnsonPsychologist, PsyD

About

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have particular clinical interest in gender and sexual diversity, dysfunctional relationship patterns, challenges related to life transitions, and bi/multicultural identity issues. I work from a contemporary psychodynamic perspective and incorporate cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques when helpful. I believe that the primary goal of therapy is to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, including greater awareness of automatic or problematic patterns of behaving and relating to others. View 22 Photos I believe that it is through self-exploration that you become aware of "blind spots" that keep you stuck in dysfunctional and/or unfulfilling relationships, jobs, and living situations. Increased self-awareness and self-understanding will give you the freedom to make changes that will allow you to experience a more fulfilling life.
