Telishia "TJ" Johnson

Telishia "TJ" Johnson is a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. She offers therapy and teletherapy to couples, families, individuals, and teens between the ages of 15-19 living in Texas. She specializes in Depression, Anxiety, phobias, codependency, career challenges, self-esteem, trauma, premarital counseling, family conflict and relationship challenges such as trust issues, communication, and infidelity. As an MFT, one of her primary approaches to therapy is Family Systems. She works with clients from a systemic perspective. She assesses clients through analysis of the impact their interactions have on their relationships, context, and culture. Her goal is to help clients see things from different perspectives, clarify meaning, and strengthen relationships. In addition to talk therapy, she uses approaches which support the central nervous system in healing. Some of these approaches include mindfulness, meditation, tapping, movements based on polyvagal theory, and neurofeedback. Like many other providers, I use a variety of proven treatments including Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy while promoting self-reflection and connection. One core difference in my approach is the integration of talk therapy with somatic approaches to release the residual effects of anxiety and trauma from the body. Full restoration sometimes takes a combination of solutions. My goal is to create a great therapeutic experience in session and to equip you with skills to apply outside of sessions. My style feels collaborative as we co-create solutions together to help you achieve desired outcomes. I am guided by the belief that we all have the internal resources to resolve our challenges and accomplish our goals. Seeing others grow and being a partner on their growth journey is personally rewarding. I am also an advocate of highlighting and celebrating small wins. I am your cheerleader in therapy. I will support you and your partner or family to figure out the unknowns and view situations from different perspectives. Give new meaning to old problematic patterns of thinking. If this sounds interesting, schedule your free consultation today and let's make a plan to begin shifting your inner and outer experience to achieve greater joy in your relationships.
