  • You already know you need therapy. Now you just need the right therapist.

    Most of my clients come in already knowing they need help—but what they really need is a therapist who actually helps them feel empowered to make changes in their life.

    Here’s what makes therapy with me different:
    ✔️ We don’t just talk—we create real, actionable change.
    ✔️ You’ll get tools that work, not just “venting.”
    ✔️ I won’t waste your time—I help you move forward.

  • You’re not broken. You’re not weak. You’re just human.

    And no amount of pushing it down or figuring it out alone will change how you feel.

    Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about understanding yourself, breaking patterns, and finally feeling like yourself again, or for the first time.


Intake Session (First session only)- $205

Regular Session (Following Sessions) - $170

My approach is a mix of deep emotional work and practical tools you can use in real life. I combine Emotionally Focused Therapy, experiential exercises, and self-compassion strategies to help you break through old patterns and feel more in control of your emotions and relationships.

“You’re carrying a lot—maybe more than anyone realizes.”

You hold it together at work. You push through for your family.
You do everything you’re supposed to do.

But when do you get to breathe?

Therapy gives you space to finally exhale—to figure out what you actually need, and how to stop running on empty.

You don’t have to carry this alone. Let’s work through it together.

  • You don’t have to be broken to benefit from therapy.

  • Individual Therapy

    Supporting men and individuals in overcoming challenges, building resilience, and creating meaningful change. A space for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

  • Marriage Therapy

    Helping couples reconnect, communicate effectively, and strengthen their relationship. Together, we create a path toward deeper understanding and lasting intimacy.

  • Family Therapy

    Helping families navigate challenges, strengthen connections, and create a healthier, more supportive home. Together, we build understanding, trust, and lasting change.

Erik Johnson Counseling

For too long, you’ve carried the weight of silence. You’ve hidden your emotions because vulnerability felt dangerous- like it would only lead to rejection, pain, or disconnection. But deep down, you know there’s more to life than feeling stuck, powerless, or alone in your marriage and relationships.

Imagine what it would be like to finally show up in your life with your full authentic voice and no longer fear confidence because you can trust not only in your mind but your body that you can trust others.
