Scott Andrew Johnson, LCSW, PhD, has been a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and Therapist for over 21 years, bringing profound knowledge and experience to his practice. He understands that while pain in life is inevitable, suffering can be optional. In a world that often encourages individuals to dismiss their emotions, Scott empowers his clients to access the innate wisdom within them to confront life's challenges. He believes that therapy should focus on uncovering how individuals may be 'getting in their own way' due to a lack of self-awareness. Through mindfulness of the present and enhanced emotional and somatic awareness, Scott helps clients tap into their full intuitive and emotional potential. His therapeutic approach combines various modalities including Somatic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address issues such as depression, trauma, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Scott’s compassionate support guides individuals towards increased confidence in their decision-making, aiding in the journey through mood disorders, grief, PTSD, substance abuse, career stress, existential angst, and other life challenges.
