Guiding Your Mental Wellness Journey
Compassionate therapy for lasting change
Kelly Johnson, MA, LPC, ACS
About Me
My name is Kelly and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Central New Jersey. I work with individuals to improve their overall wellness through the use of clinical counseling techniques. Ive been practicing in mental health and trauma intervention for over 14 years. Working from a person centered approach I understand health care is not "one size fits all" and the importance of tailoring treatment to your needs.
My focus is anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma. My ideal clients are adults who are motivated for change and are ready to address barriers that are preventing them from achieving their goals. Together we will explore what is holding you back and what can be done in order to unlock your full potential.
I provide confidential, compassionate treatment for individuals looking to make a change and improve wellness. My goal is to work together with my Clients towards wellness and recover.
I have extensive experience working with active duty, reserve, national guard members of the military as well as their family. In addition to my private therapy practice, Im also the lead clinician for a NJ non profit for veterans mental health.
Additionally I maintain certification as an approved clinical supervisor (ACS) for licensed associate counselors (LAC) in New Jersey looking for clinical supervision and are working to attain their LPC clinical licensure.
