Jette Johnson, LMSW, SIFI
Therapist & Clinical Coordinator/Supervisor
Pronouns: she/her/hers
I work well with people who are interested in therapy and the complexities of our experiences - this could include professional decision making, struggling with complicated family relationships and dynamics, and/or the intersections of our identities. I often work with clients who feel tired, confused, scared, hurt, avoid pleasure, don't feel like they're good enough, outcasted, silenced, misunderstood, and like they're "too much." They may fear that they'll never get better, that others will leave them, that being close to someone else or loved is scary, or that they are unloveable and undeserving of love.
About Jette
In our work together, I will show up committed to building trust, with an awareness of your strengths and a conversational style that adds lightness. My goal here is to join you as a collaborator in your therapy process, confidence-building, and exploration of any experiences that have informed who you are today.
Working with Jette
I welcome those who are interested in therapy to a safe, strengths-based, and collaborative space. This is a space where we will be learning and getting to know you! In this space, your goals are yours for the taking and we can discuss anything! I will work with you to achieve your goals by utilizing a variety of modalities and interventions that aid in conceptualizing and interpreting our life experiences. As a result, you will have the opportunity to observe dismantle and recreate patterns of behavior and put thought into what change looks like for you. Everyone is deserving of space to process, explore, question, feel validation, challenge their experiences, and grow! I greatly look forward to working with you!
