Dr. Orchid Johnson, PHD

Dr. Johnson is an incredible holistically minded therapist! I worked with her for about 5 years to resolve anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, alcohol abuse and dealing with my mother who has a personality disorder. With her guidance I was able to "reparent" myself, learned to set and enforce healthy boundaries as well as implement healthy coping strategies for my anxiety and depression. As a result of my healing journey with Dr. J I have been completely sober now for 6+ months (and counting!). Her holistic approach focuses on mind, body and spirit which I found to be incredibly vital to truly healing. She strengthened my tool box and I can now proudly say I feel freed of debilitating anxiety and depression and I can finally experience joy in my daily life.

I’ve been seeing Dr Johnson for over a year. I’ve seen 5 therapists throughout my life, but I never felt understood before now. I came to her with my life upside down. I was self destructing emotionally and physically, scared for my future. She’s walked with me, carrying the flashlight, through the dark places in my life and is very patient for me to identify things on my own, slowly unraveling the huge tangled mess I’d gotten myself into. I find my thought process actually working for me now- instead of against me and I don’t question myself like before. It was harder before it got easier, but in the end it’s refreshing to understand ME and to lose that feeling of despair. I’ve never felt so great. Dr J has been my mentor, my teacher, my safe place, my nurturer and my rock. She’s educated, experienced and clearly understands people and pain. She changed my world and I can’t thank her enough!

As someone who works in the mental health field, I am incredibly grateful to have had the guidance of Dr. Johnson as my therapist. I was so nervous about starting therapy and opening up to a stranger, but she made it easy and (most importantly), she made me feel understood. Dr. Johnson truly cares about her clients and her passion for working in this field is obvious. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Dr. Johnson is not only an extremely credible psychologist but just an amazing person. I was afraid of being judged and vulnerable since my past experience with another therapist did not go so well. But Dr. Johnson made me feel comfortable and safe to be myself. She listened attentively and gave thorough feedback and never rushed our sessions. She is truly passionate about her work and is great at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional!

Working with Dr. Johnson has had the most amazing impact on my life. I have seen several therapists throughout my life and Dr. Johnson is by far the best I have ever seen. I have made so much progress in my time working with her. She is so compassionate and a great listener, someone who truly cares about her clients. I have been working with her for six months and the positive changes I've seen in my life have been incredible. She is an amazing person and I feel so grateful to have met her.
