Constance M. Johnson

As a therapist, I offer not only professional guidance, but also a deep, lived understanding of the struggles that can feel insurmountable. I know firsthand the weight of unresolved emotional pain from childhood trauma—whether from abuse, neglect, or complicated family dynamics. I bring a compassionate, patient, and intuitive presence to our work together, helping you make sense of those tangled emotions and experiences so that you can heal and move forward on your own terms. I am a neurodivergent, queer individual with my own history of childhood adversity. My early years were marked by rural poverty, parental incarceration, and caregivers who struggled with their own mental health. Those years left me with lasting challenges, but they also gave me invaluable insights into the human condition—insights I now use to help others. Life hasn't always been easy or predictable for me, and I carry that lived experience with me in my work. Even on my hardest days, I acknowledge the privilege I now hold, and I am committed to using it in service of others. As a social worker and abolitionist, I challenge the harmful systems that perpetuate cycles of violence and oppression. I believe that mental health care must evolve to meet the complexities of people's lived experiences, not merely conform to outdated or stigmatizing models. By centering harm reduction and restorative practices, I strive to create space where healing is possible—not just for the individual, but for communities as a whole. You are welcome here.
