Jack Johnson

Hi! I’m Jack. I am a licensed Psychotherapist in California with more than thirty-one years of clinical experience. I have been working as a licensed counselor since 1989. I have experience conducting individual, couples and group therapy, both in the office, in a medical setting, in the field, and hospital settings. I have been an instructor working at the Masters level at three Universities in the area. I work well with depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting issues, grief/loss, insomnia, addiction, trauma, physical/sexual/emotional abuse, OCD, bipolar, as well as personal growth, adjustment issues, and crisis. I utilize techniques from person-centered, solution/goal focused, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. I provide a judgment free, safe and supportive experience. This means that I attempt to join with you “where you are at”. I believe that every behavior has a purpose and is an attempt to meet a need. It isn’t until we discover what that need is and find a “healthier” or more “productive” way of meeting that need that the behavior no longer is necessary. I look forward to working with you… My Educational Credentials include: – Licensed by the State of California, Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) – Chapman University Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology Professionally: – Over 31 consecutive years in private practice – University Instructor LMFT Masters level – Created Gateway Counseling Center: Non-profit training institute contracted with the County mental health department – Program Manager for Non-profit agency – Embedded therapist at a Federally Qualified Health Center – Clinical Vice President for non-profit mental health agency Years of experience: 31+
