About Stephanie Johnson, LPC, M.Ed
My Philosophy
At Imperfect Empath Counseling, I believe that you are not broken, you are not crazy, and that you do not need to be fixed. The purpose of therapy is to help you become an expert on you and to leverage that expertise to create healthy and sustainable habits that improve your overall quality of life.
I am passionate about assisting adults, families, and youth from all walks of life dealing with loss, depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, family issues, or pressure to achieve. Through use of various therapeutic techniques, I help clients commit to continued learning and growth even when that growth becomes uncomfortable.
