Amy Johnson

Amy Johnson holds a Master of Arts and is a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts (MA LICSW 113676). She has 20 years of experience working with adolescents and their families and has provided care in a variety of settings facing a range of clinical challenges.

Many of the young people and families she has worked with have struggled with depression, anxiety, peer and relationship issues, trauma, dissociation, and abuse. Those difficulties have at times contributed to behaviors such as addiction, self-harm, and suicidality that have deeply affected daily functioning.

Johnson brings a compassionate, committed approach to therapy and places the therapeutic relationship at the center of her work to help clients access vulnerability and address personal challenges. She does not adhere to a single framework but instead draws on multiple clinical theories to determine the most helpful path for each person.

She respects each client’s individual narrative and begins treatment from where the client is when they seek help. Her care is tailored to specific needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model; she listens closely and also challenges clients to explore what gets in their way and to make the shifts necessary to improve their lives.

Johnson views the decision to seek help as a demonstration of strength and courage. If someone believes she might be a good fit to support change in their life, she is ready to provide support.
