“Working with Johanna over the past year has been one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences of my life.  I came to her in a very difficult place, and with her steady support and encouragement, I was able to move away from thoughts I never imagined I could escape.  I’ve seen multiple therapists in the past, but Johanna is the first – and only – one who truly helped.  I guess I’m not the easiest person to reach, yet she never gave up on me.

She’s incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful in applying a wide range of therapeutic techniques, from mindfulness to cognitive work, to exploring early life experiences and perfectionism.  Even when I was hesitant, she gently encouraged me to try new tools and always made it feel safe and manageable.  Her warmth and patience are genuine – she listens carefully, remembers everything (even when I didn’t see her taking notes!), and consistently follows through.  Over time, she helped me build something that was rare: trust.

What really stands out is that Johanna doesn’t just follow a script – she’s open to exploring new ideas, including things like evolutionary psychology, and always adapts to what you need in the moment.  I can’t overstate how much she’s helped me survive and grow – not just emotionally, but as a person.  If you’re struggling with depression, especially if you’re unsure about therapy or have tried before without success, I wholeheartedly recommend her.  She’s truly a lifesaver.”

Thanks,
