Therapy invites room for reflection, healing, and personal growth. Creating a warm and steady space allows clients to explore their thoughts and emotions at a comfortable pace. My style balances honesty with compassion, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Person-Centered work. Trauma-informed care and psychoeducation are woven in to support clients in developing insight and meaningful change. More than two decades in school counseling and additional clinical experience have shaped my work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families from varied cultural and neurodivergent backgrounds. I often support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. When working with couples, Gottman-informed strategies guide communication, emotional awareness, and stronger relational foundations. “You do not just wake up and become the butterfly - growth is a process.” ― Rupi Kaur

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in relationship issues, stress management, anxiety and life transitions for the adult population. As a therapist with over ten years of experience, my work has allowed me to treat both children and adults. I understand that trust takes time to develop. Regardless of the population, my therapeutic approach aids in navigating potential challenges that arise throughout the lifespan. Life can be overwhelming at any age, and having a trustworthy, neutral person to confide in is ideal. In my experience, I have come to learn that individuals want someone that will listen to them without judgement, which is what I provide. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal and Humanistic Therapy. My approach is non-judgmental, person-centered and collaborative. I am a strong believer that a person's mental health is as equally important as their physical health. Working together, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment. I utilize CBT, Humanistic and Interpersonal Therapy, to help clients develop skills that, with consistent application, improve their ability to manage the issues they present with. My style is creating a working alliance , and I modify my approach to each individual's unique goals. My journey to becoming a therapist began with being labeled 'the voice of reason' by friends. I would ask if they wanted someone to vent to, or were they seeking advice. When giving advice, I would take a neutral standpoint of seeing the entire picture, because there can be different perspectives in situations. My neutrality would take precedence, regardless of my personal relationship with the friend. This has deepened my commitment to providing an unbiased perspective to client sessions. I believe in individualization and client self-determination. People come from diverse backgrounds and have a multitude of life experiences, so acknowledging that diversity positively impacts the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship I strive to build. I have interests in music, various forms of exercise, arts and crafts, cooking and collecting.

I offer an eclectic approach to therapy that pulls from a variety of treatment modalities, including solution-focused and strengths-based therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. When entering therapy, you should expect an opportunity to feel understood, validated, and confident in discussing concerns without judgment. I aim to equip clients with tools they can use to successfully manage stressors in their personal lives. It takes courage to seek support and divulge personal experiences; my goal is to help you feel assured in your decision to reach out!

Therapy is a collaboration between therapist and client. My goal is to understand where you are at this moment in your life, help you to identify your goals and work with you, as a partner, to attain them. My approach to individual therapy is short term and goal oriented. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address a wide range of problems (see problems treated below). These skills based approaches allow individuals to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, improve awareness of, and control over emotions, increase tolerance of difficult emotions, and enhance ability to live mindfully in the present moment. Throughout treatment we will monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to help you continue moving towards your goals. Therapy sessions are typically 45 minutes weekly, though this may vary based on the type of treatment. Therapy can be brief (12-16 sessions) or may last longer depending on your presenting problems and goals.

People come to therapy for a lot of reasons, but many feel like they need a change from how things are. Some don’t know what it is that needs to change, and they want more insight about what new roads they might try walking down. Others know exactly the changes they want to make in their lives, but they need a safe place to say it out loud to themselves, and they want help along the way. Some can’t change their situation and still yearn to be at peace. Regardless of what brought you to session, my goal during our time together is to work with you to help you identify obstacles in your path. My style is empowering, warm, and pragmatic.

Hi! I am Dr. Monica Johnson. If you’re reading this, it means you are taking your mental and emotional health seriously and researching someone who will be a good fit for your journey. This is exciting! Let me tell you more about me to help you with your decision making process. I am a Licensed Psychologist in NYC, but some people think of me as a problem solving pro, empowerment guru, and self-compassion guide! I partner with my patients to find pathways to a better life. I work best with people who are tired of being stuck and ready to make changes. I can’t change you. Only you can do that, but I’m super excited to be your side kick on the journey and help you highlight roads to success. One of the most important things to know about me is that I am NOT a smile and nod type of therapist. I get down in the trenches with you. I’m down to earth and real with you through this process which means I will call you out on your BS and help you figure out what to do with it. We will work hard and laugh a lot. For the record, there is nothing off limits or shameful in therapy. I’ve seen it all and heard it all. If you need to talk about sex, money, medical issues, or “that one time in Amsterdam,” don’t hesitate! I work with people of all backgrounds (race, gender, sexuality, religion, alternative relationships) and you should expect that I will affirm your identity while helping you to develop a fuller self concept. My job is to help you tap into strengths you already possess (we all have them even if we can’t see them yet) and create new ones! If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, feel constantly overwhelmed by your emotions, past traumas, poor relationships, low self esteem, or just deciding what the next step is in your career/life, I can help.

I help people feel better and improve their lives with music psychotherapy. If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, addiction or everyday stress with relationships, work or family. If you want a fluid and creative approach to therapy that helps you go deep to the core of your issues, I can help. I am particularly passionate about working with those who identify as LGBTQIA+, especially trans and GNC folx. In a world full of stigma, with so much pressure to conform to a heteronormative society, being trans or GNC can be an isolating and scary experience. I can help you on your journey to become your true self.
