Genevieve Johansen, LCSW

We all go through life facing difficult challenges and events that impact us, our functioning and well being. If you are looking for help in addressing, coping with or understanding these issues then I may be able to help. I will work to assist you, you and your child(ren), or you and your partner in identifying goals and understanding the barriers to meeting those goals. Together we will examine history, family structure and behaviors to better understand yourself, your child, or your partner and use this insight to help identify new ways to cope and change.

TEENAGERS
Adolescence today is a stressful time for our children given peer and societal influences, technology and the internet, and academic pressures. I have extensive experience working with kids who are coping with anxiety, display rebellious behaviors, are withdrawing or shutting down, or are participating in concerning high risk behaviors such as cutting or expressing suicidal ideation. I am also trained and interested in working with kids needing support around sexual orientation and gender identity issues.

ADULTS
Therapy with adults has the capacity for be immensely helpful and give you the space to understand yourself and make changes that will ultimately lead to greater satisfaction and happiness. I specialize in working with adults coping with multiple stressors that today's fast paced life brings, including balancing work and home life, substance abuse and dependency, and divorce and relational issues.

FAMILY THERAPY
I have extensive experience with family systems and helping families make shifts and changes that result in increased overall well being of the family. I am comfortable with complex family and relationship issues and have experienced success in helping families address issues they face.
