Empowered Life Counseling
Helping you create a life that you love
Alisa Johnson, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Southern Nazarene University. I have training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and have found it to be effective in addressing trauma and adverse life events with clients. I’ve worked with families, couples and individuals, providing a safe environment in which they can identify strengths and develop healthy coping skills. As a result, clients are better equipped to manage life’s stressors more effectively.
I provide individual and family therapy. Additionally, working with couples to identify relationship strengths as well as weak areas, to help them develop healthier patterns and improve their relationships is one of my specialties. I have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and use Gottman Method in my work with couples. Paradoxically, working with individuals who are in various stages of determining if they want to end a relationship is another area that I have extensive experience and have had great success in helping clients navigate this incredibly difficult decision in their lives.
