Amanda Johnson

Amanda Johnson, MD, LCSW-C, LCSW supports individuals and couples in New Jersey who are navigating anxiety, addiction, relationship ruptures, and major life transitions. She combines attention to relational patterns with focused work on what drives anxiety and compulsive behaviors, aiming to move clients from survival responses toward intentional change. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including intimacy, parenting, self-esteem, attachment and abandonment issues, and family-of-origin dynamics.

Amanda works with couples on rebuilding trust after infidelity and on interrupting reactive cycles by introducing structure and accountability into conversations. With individuals she explores underlying drivers of anxious or substance-using behaviors and collaborates on practical skills to replace survival-based coping. She brings a direct yet supportive stance, offering challenge alongside steady guidance as people work toward clearer priorities and healthier patterns.

She holds dual clinical credentials and maintains a focus on both relational repair and individual stability. Amanda’s approach attends to communication, boundaries, and the patterns that sustain conflict, while also addressing caregiving stress, codependency, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and issues related to blended families and commitment.
