More than any therapist I've ever worked with, David displays such calm and compassion. It was the first time I ever really felt fully understood and heard in a setting like this, and it made it much easier to relax and to take in the exercises and skills that David shared. He is a life-saver.

Dr. Johnson is a pro-active therapist. His insights lead to practical steps that provide a healthy sense of forward movement.

David shows immense empathy but doesn't avoid addressing the hard truths. His deep caring and insights helped our family progress from a dark year in ways we couldn't even imagine. We are so grateful for his work with us and for the hope and skills we've acquired.

David is both kind and disciplined. Even as he provides comfort, he never loses sight of the issues that must be faced.

With the pandemic and what seemed like chaos all around, David is a sea of calm and reason. Our sessions are a sanctuary where anything can be said, without judgment. His intelligence and decades of experience come shining through.

He seems to quickly grasp what you’re saying. He listens well, and always leaves time and space for clarification and elaboration.

My adult son's depression was one of the most trying experiences I have ever been through. I was scared, isolated during the pandemic, and needed so much help to save my son. I can't tell you how much of a difference Dr. Johnson made to help me navigate my own feelings so that I could get the best help for my son. I could not have done it without him.

Sometimes in our family, it was so difficult just to talk without it leading to hurt feelings or anger. The safety of family therapy with David and the understanding that he showed us was amazing. We learned how to talk and listen to each other in constructive ways that brought us resolution and peace. Best of all, we can apply what we've learned from here forward. David’s help was indispensable to us. I really don't know what we would have done without him.

In our family therapy, Dr. Johnson’s fair-minded, inclusive approach has dramatically expanded the sense of safety we all need to speak honestly and productively.

We have benefited enormously from David’s help. Our family conversations, our boundaries, our mutual respect and affection – they’ve all been lifted by his expertise and healing spirit.

Parenting is pretty stressful in the best of times, but when things get complicated, couples really need to pull together. Dr. Johnson has such a keen understanding of interpersonal dynamics. He helped us build a bridge when we needed it most.

It's not often that you receive consultation and counseling from someone who has the institutional and educational background of David Johnson. He's spent his life dealing with some of the most terrible challenges people can face, and it's only made him wiser and more appreciative of the folks he encounters. He really is extraordinary.
