I help adults and teens from all backgrounds reconnect with their true self after experiencing childhood trauma. Childhood trauma can have a profound impact on how we perceive ourselves and the world around us, often laying the foundation for anxiety and low self-esteem later in life. Many of the clients I work with experience anxiety which manifests as perfectionism, social anxiety, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, negative self-talk, and a constant feeling of being on edge. My therapeutic approach is gentle and compassionate, combining relational and narrative therapy, humanistic principles, and inner child work.

My name is McKay Johnsen and I am a therapist who works with others to define and pursue meaning and paths forward throughout the therapeutic relationship. The human-to-human relationship is the most important aspect of any therapeutic relationship. Everyone has the rock bottoms and the dreaded low points at times, some more frequent than others, and it is in these moments that we seek out our most precious memories and experiences and draw upon the love we have felt from others to garner hope for a future with more light to come. I strive to be one of these lights in the minds and eyes of my clients for when they have these moments

I have worked in multiple clinical settings with various populations. I appreciate working with clients who are navigating existential crises, those who are looking for a better understanding to the meaning of life. This experience can help clients identify and break negative or unhealthy patterns in their lives. I am a firm believer in the power of perception-shifting, in order to identify a silver lining in even the most difficult situations. My therapeutic approach is dynamic and eclectic. My goal with all of my clients is to walk beside them through their struggles and help them come through their struggles feeling stronger.
