Frank Johnston

My therapeutic style is based on the belief that good rapport is essential to accomplish our therapeutic goals. While I think in terms of family of origin issues, I intervene through many diverse approaches depending on the needs of the person.These approaches include thoughts, bodily sensations, feelings, and the experiences of childhood. I follow the lead of whom I am working with and tailor my psychotherapeutic work to fit where they are at in their psychological development.

A primary focus is to help one become at ease with oneself.
I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and issues. On any given day, I might see a woman with career issues, a man with emotional intimacy concerns, a couple with communication difficulties and a child with angry outbursts. I find meaning fostering change and growth.

I am informed by positive psychology theory with its emphasis on growth, development, enhancement of authenticity, optimal performance and happiness. Implementing the concepts of "Flow", character strengths, resilience, optimism and gratitude.

I am committed to you feeling fulfilled, present in your life and accomplishing your goals.
