Hi! I am Dr. Natassia Johnson, Ph.D., LPC (she/her), a psychotherapist dedicated to improving individuals' mental health. I offer a safe and confidential space to discuss and work through various emotional and psychological struggles. I aim to be thoughtful and compassionate as well as firm and deliberate in my approach. Above all, I hold strongly to the belief that true change best takes place in a vulnerability welcoming and shame-free environment.
"Shame Resilience: Get Out of Your Shame and Into Your Life!" (Psychoeducational Group)
Shame is a common, powerful experience that is associated with depression, grief, eating disorders, substance abuse, anxiety, and violence. The experience of shame can be pervasive throughout various aspects of our life and feel intensely painful.
Shame resilience can allow us to move towards more empathic responses to shame and less powerful shame experiences. The elements of Shame Resilience include:
1) Recognizing our shame and its triggers (e.g., physical, situational)
2) Practicing critical awareness
3) Reaching out and sharing our story
4) Speaking about our shame (with courage and compassion, for connection)
