Hello, my name is Dr. Michael Bjornson. Most of my clients simply refer to me as Dr. "B".

All humans are wired for connection – we need it on the most basic level from the moment we are born and throughout our lifetime. But humans are the worst! And the best! Humans are complicated. We need each other, we love each other, we hurt each other – we develop ways of reaching out for connection that might not be working anymore. This is where I come in. I work with people who are experiencing distress within themselves and in their relationships. We will identify the unhelpful beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck, and then learning new ways of relating to yourself and others that make you feel…..dare I say it?… happy!

My name is Vivian E. Johnson, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I predominately utilize the psychodynamic approach. I work with individuals, families, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and trauma. I help clients recognize their recurring unhelpful thought, emotional and behavioral patterns, and the defense mechanisms they've developed to avoid distress and cope with stress. This insight may allow them to begin changing those patterns and develop more helpful and healthier ways to cope with life stressors.

Therapy is about compassion, vulnerability, and connection; it can also be about pushing yourself toward growth, creating change, and evolving into who you want to be. I would love to work with you to identify areas of potential and develop a path to success. I use a direct approach to build a real relationship with you. I don't shy away from difficult topics. Making a big leap can be daunting but finding fulfillment is worth the jump. I focus on individuals facing big life changes. As a Tricare provider and the child of a retired service member, I understand the unique stressors faced by the military community and their families.
