Mamie Johnson
Hello! my name is Mamie and I have over 6 years experience as a LMHC, along with12 years as a NYC Department of Education School Guidance Counselor. As a LMHC, I have experiences ranging from working in, inpatient psychiatric units, community base organizations, and schools. I've worked extensively with children, tweens, teenagers and their parents. I practice therapy by using an integrated approach, pulling from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I work alongside children, tweens and teenagers for the benefit of their social and emotional development. I believe that the strongest therapeutic relationship is built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy and honesty. I counsel from a non-judgmental place of understanding and compassion. I view therapy as a collaborative therapeutic relationship that builds an environment of healing and growth. Specializations: Anxiety, Social and Emotional Learning, ADHD, Self-Regulation I provide a friendly, safe, and nurturing atmosphere that acknowledge the client’s voice. I seek to supportively challenge clients to achieve their full potential. During our interactive sessions, my client will have a greater awareness of real-life problem-solving skills, self-regulation skills and coping strategies to develop tools for thriving. I believe in each client’s unique ability for gaining insight and self-reflection to overcome emotional struggles leading to successful outcomes.
