Tanya Johnson

Hello, my name is Tanya Johnson and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am also a Certified School Counselor with a Master’s degree from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio. I currently work full time as an educator with military students in grades 6-12 at Lackland AFB. I have spent time volunteering for Poderosa Rising, a women’s empowerment organization and with the LBGTQIA+ population assisting with anxiety, identity, and acceptance. I work with children 8 years old through adults, couples, and integrate small group psychoeducation. I provide therapy that allows clients to heal holistically. I provide an empathic environment in which an individual feels safe being open to creating and achieving goals while being able to process the emotions involved with these changes. I utilize a variety of approaches with Solution Focused and Person Centered being at the top of the list. For couples, I am Level 1 Gottman trained and utilize Gottman Couples Therapy techniques to heal relationships. I feel counseling is a path to discovery and change; a means to improve YOU! As a clinician, I feel it is important to help my client see that our time together is a stepping stone to discovering ways to continue moving forward in a positive direction and reveal new parts of ourselves that we may not have found without help. I am great at listening, helping, and advocating for the rights of others to live comfortably in their lives and heal from the external judgements that use to confine them.
