Erin Johnson, LPC
(she/her)
About Me
Erin’s goal is to create an environment where folks feel comfortable working through their stuff, on their terms, and in their own time. She positions herself as a collaborator, rather than an authority on your life. She is passionate about and committed to cultural humility and LGBTQ+ affirmation. If you happen to be curious about her theory, she considers herself an Existentialist, heavily influenced by Intersectional Feminism, Ecological Systems, Attachment, Accompaniment, and Humanistic principles. She enthusiastically welcomes further conversation to go into detail about what this means and how this affects her practice. In addition to her work, Erin is an amateur yet enthusiastic outdoorsy type, live music fan and budding vinyl collector, lover of all animals, traveler, and is considering becoming an art history buff. She is currently reclaiming her love of reading after the labor of love that is grad school.
