Niparpon Vonghong Johansen is a trauma-focused, EMDR-certified clinical registered Art Therapist and Marriage and Family Therapist. With a profound understanding of how one's mind and body develop reactions to different situations and people, she assists individuals in comprehensively exploring their past experiences. This reflective work aims to identify the roots of presenting symptoms, providing clients with the choices and wisdom necessary for a healthier future. Niparpon, a relaxed Buddhist and immigrant from Thailand, brings a unique perspective shaped by 26 years of integration into U.S. culture. She recognizes the pervasive impact of unspoken trauma, particularly racialized trauma and oppression, which can lead to issues such as frustration, anxiety, depression, and physical health problems. In therapy, she invites individuals to delve deeply into their stories—spiritually and ancestrally—uncovering how systemic factors have influenced their mental well-being. Through this collaborative process, clients can learn to recover from lifelong habits and symptoms, understanding that while trauma may leave imprints, it does not have to dictate their lives.
