Clients who work with me report improved relationship satisfaction, more fulfilling sexual lives, and a resounding sense of unwavering self compassion.
I believe sex and relationships are the ultimate culmination of connection and vulnerability. This gives them the potential to be a source of actualization, despair and everything in between. I have found that my life purpose is to help others tap into the positive end of that spectrum of potential. Many clients who work with me are ready for their relationships to heal. They notice that they are stuck in the same unhealthy and unproductive patterns in their relationships or dating experiences. They feel motivated to improve their confidence and pleasure with intimacy, but they feel stuck in how to reach these goals on their own.

My commitment is to value each person I have the privilege of working with regardless of race, religion, relationship structure, sexual orientation, and gender expression.
Do you feel like you lose your sense of self in relationships? Do you want to feel more sure of yourself and confident in who you are and your choices? When you do not feel grounded in yourself you can feel lost in your relationships. This can lead to feeling helpless, insecure, or like you are spiraling. Together we will help you towards feeling assured in yourself and your decisions. You deserve to have relationships where you feel confident, empowered, and secure. I specialize in couples, premarital counseling, new parents, childless by choice, gender identity, and non-monogamy.

I also enjoy working with couples seeking healing and shared meaning in their relationship.
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself” (Rumi). As a trauma survivor who went on a personal healing journey, I learned how to help others simultaneously. Healing was hard work, but finding the right therapist was a huge piece of the puzzle. Traditional therapy fails so many trauma survivors. I aim to go beyond talk therapy to find the right modality for each unique client.

I specialize in work with eating disorders, trauma, postpartum depression, and couples distress.
My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that who you are makes sense. Even when your emotions, behaviors, or relationships are extremely different than what you want them to be, I believe that our feelings carry wisdom, our behaviors serve a function, and our current situation becomes clear in the context of our whole story. With this stance of curiosity and acceptance, I can help you understand the parts of your life that are causing distress and move toward the life you want to be living. I am an ideal fit for clients who want to make a change in their behavior while understanding the way those behaviors have functioned.

Hi there! I am so glad you're here. While I was growing up, I quickly learned that there were few places I could be truly myself and accepted just as I am. As a therapist, I've discovered many of us share that same story. In therapy, I offer space for you to be exactly who you are, wherever you're at, so that together, we can explore new ways of being and relating. I believe deeply in the healing power of connection, so my top priority is establishing trust, security, and safety within our relationship, as the quality and strength of that relationship has proven to be the single greatest predictor of achieving positive outcomes.

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

You may have learned that sweeping challenges under the rug was a reasonable way of dealing with uncomfortable feelings, like sadness, loneliness, and shame. And yet, while you may feel better at first, you couldn’t help but notice that the same feelings emerge again and again. If you are in a committed relationship, you may feel exhausted noticing that the same conflicts recur with your partner(s), leading to frustration or apathy. These issues can cause you to have a difficult time trusting yourself and your intuition, leave you feeling disconnected, and make you question how to move forward to create a life with more purpose.

Schedule instantly through my website link in my profile! I work with individuals, families, and intimate partner relationships. I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. My approach centers around helping clients retell their stories. I find value in understanding how people became who they are today while also creating space for the changes they aspire to make. In our busy lives, it’s easy to overlook the mind-body connection. That’s why I incorporate meditative and body-based practices during sessions. Slowing down and exploring emotions and behaviors in this way allows for deeper self-awareness and healing.

I offer reintegration therapy for parents who have been absent from their child's life but want to re-establish a relationship.
I have become very interested in the brain's functioning powers and how people can learn to re-wire neural networks, using strategies that can calm, relax, heighten a sense of personal control, diminish the power of old patterns, and strengthen healthy neural pathways. Research now shows that talking about what is causing tension, stress, or discomfort for you is good for your brain. It is good to find a therapist, a trusted friend or clergy worker to confide in and improve your life. I work with children of all ages, adult individuals, and couples and families who are having difficulties.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
