Hello! My name is Tara Johnson, LPC-Resident in Counseling, and I am a graduate of Walden University with my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling. In my educational and clinical journey, I have found the Cognitive-Behavioral approach to be of great assistance; however, I am also aware that everyone is unique thereby requiring the addition of other therapies as warranted to my “mental health toolbox”.

Making the decision to attend counseling is not an easy one. It takes courage and strength to admit “I need help”.

My goal is to empower, encourage, and give my clients the tools they need to work through any season.
