Johnnie is one of those therapists who was clearly born to do this job. He simply understands people and can connect on an emotional level that I've very rarely seen in people. He just understands and is amazing at gently peeling back the layers of trauma, anxiety, etc. until you are very much in a better place. I couldn't recommend him more.

Johnnie has changed my life for the better. He truly wants the best version of your life but he consistently reminds me that the work is done outside of our sessions. He is charismatic and compassionate and each session feels like I am heard and respected and guided from a genuine place. I would highly recommend Johnnie if you're looking for a professional that will help you stay grounded and will encourage you to always work on yourself because that's the best investment you can make for yourself.
