More About Irene Johnson

Clinical Interests:

I have experience working with individual with a wide variety of issues/concerns. Some of the more common diagnoses I have work with include major depression, post and prepartum depression, generalized anxiety disorder, personality disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, dual diagnosis, addictions and suicidal idealizations. I have had the opportunity to work in a verity of settings including outpatient, residential, outpatient addictions and day treatment.

Clinical Approach:

My goal is to help clients move toward their best self and greatest potential. My practice draws from evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy. During session I work with the individual to reflect on what has and has not worked so we can identify tools to better self-regulate, communicate more effectively and to manage distress. I believe in providing a non-judgmental, safe and authentic space for clients to build the confidence to continue navigating and embracing life.

Hobbies:

In my free time I like to hike, crochet, read and bake
